I would have liked to know what specific programs were included and the cost of other programs available.
but I can't remember the last time they did. The OS on the HP locks up too much for me. I have owned several PDA's ever since the first Palm Pilot hit the market back in the mid 90's (which, btw, still works fine). The HP Wi-Fi and bluetooth work well, I give them that. I am not used to having my PDAs lock up. I can't say my Pilot or my current Palm Treo never lock up. However, the SD card slot broke just after the warrantee expired and now its useless. There are too many other good PDAs on the market to waste your time with this one.
The SD expansion slot is really nice for adding books etc (I have a few different versions of the Bible with commentaries for super fast and easy access). It stays nicely (I do keep the backlight pretty dim. I can almost always get connected. The WiFi is perfect. I'm a full time student and I bought this PDA a year ago. Luckily I don't fly THAT often and when I do I can generally find a plug-in to recharge it. The battery power is okay. Adding tasks is really nice for homework and projects.
I wish there was a lock button. Its also SO nice to use the Microsoft Outlook to update my contacts and calendar. It's been so nice for me to have. but dim is still a nice reading setting) but the power button gets pressed in my purse sometimes and drains it. I love the note pad, I can write up things quickly or 'type' them in. It has a nice picture to it and its sweet for picture viewing. The only negative I've had is that when I got through security at airports it COMPLETELY zaps my charge. I would definately recommend this.
Your videos will play smoothly without interruptions. I would recommend downloading a free version of TCPMP DIVX player for the Pocket PC at the following location. I would not recommend using the Windows Mobile's Media Player on the IPAQ for playing videos. It also plays a wider range of video format than the WM Media Player.http://www.dvdcatalyst.com/support/downloads/I also recommend DVD Catalyst GT for converting DVD's to playable video files for your IPAQ. TCPMP is a far superior video player than the WM Media Player. You will not have the buffering problems that the WM Media Player has. It is easy to use and costs less than $20.http://www.dvdcatalyst.comI really enjoy my IPAQ. I hope these suggestions help you get more enjoyment out of yours.
I bought this for my husband on our Anniversary. He loved it has really come in handy from him as he needs a lot of phone numbers to be stored for work and a calendar to keep his ever changing work schedule in. Also, allows him to access wireless internet if he needs to.
