Handheld Reviews

If you still run Windows NT4 and you have an Ipaq, you cannot use USB. So either upgrade to 2000/XP, or buy this. Serial is really slow, though, so I'd recommend upgrading, personally.

I bought mine for the road and for just using while at work. I like it because i never have to pull my IPAQ out of the velcroed travel case that I use for carrying it. I am actually thinking of getting another one for home or even the usb version but really I haven't noticed any diff. in speed of transfer.

I purchesed the serial cable to apply to Windows NT network (USB does not work). Cable provides reliable connection - never had a failure. Very convenient and easy to use.

No way does this stylus fit the m130.

Well, they fit, but they don't click in like the originals did so they are loose in the holder. Looking at them I can't see the difference but these just don't lock in.

When I first got my Palm m100, I don't know how many times I couldn't find my stylus when I needed it. It's nice to carry an extra one with you. Before I got these, I've had to use a crochet needle, mechanical pencil and a toothpick. Just get these and save yourself the hassle.

It has everything I thought it would, but it's a bit flimsy and not as wide as I'd hoped. I thought it would be the same size as a date book it's actually the same length only not as wide. There are plenty of pockets though. Sorry about the two stars, but I'm a quality freak and I don't think this lives up.

The case definitely helped organize my wallet- there's a place for everything but the checkbook. However, if you have too many plastic cards for the cardholder, you might want to think twice. I've had this case for about 2 months, and a few weeks ago, the lining behing the cards started ripping, I'm assuming because of being so full.

Now that's either a sign of thin lining fabric, or of too many credit cards- but my wallet shouldn't be the one punishing me for that.

This is a nice organizer. I received the organizer 8 days after the order was placed. Excellent value for the money.

At first I thought another 8mb would be great for my Handspring Platinum. My Platinum had only 1mb free and I needed more space for my apps, I still needed to loaded Noah Dictionary and Mapopolis which would require another 3 or 4 megs (already had Vindigo and AvantGo and a few fairly large apps). The 8mb Flash module is *only* useful for some individuals.

Here's why I don't recommend it to everyone: 1) You can not edit ANY files on the flash module. Meaning Vindigo will not run from it or edit a picture/doc file from the module. 2) It adds a noticeable amount of weight to your visor especially if you carry it in your pocket. 3) If you have hackmaster (or similar), make sure you disable it when removing and installing the module. I duplicated the resulting crash many times and had to do a HardReset each time. 4) You will go through your batteries a little faster. 5) You cannot HotSync directly to the FlashModule. Meaning you have to install it to your Visor, and then transfer to the module. A big inconvenience if you are running low on space and have to play "musical apps" to get it on the module.

In summary, I love my Platinum, however I feel there are too many shortcomings to make it a truly useful item. Its price is not justified. However, if you don't mind the weight and inability to transfer *everything* to the module and run it this may be right for you. Users with large uneditable PDB files will be thankful for it, that's who I sold mine to!

There are some very informative reviews already written about this product so I won't repeat the details.

I own the Visor Prism and use it daily for a number of tasks. I keep a number of large spreadsheets on one of these modules and when I need them, copy them over to the working ram of my Prism.

I have found this unit to be very reliable.

As I continue to find great programs on my Visor, this module has
allowed me to load them on without worrying about running out of
space. I will probably buy a couple more to add to my collection
of Visor gizmos.

Initially when I bought this product I had experienced the same space bar issue I read about later. I liked everything else about it. I was within warranty so I returned it for another, and this one works perfect. I like it much better than the infrared models and its extremely handy for meetings. HP gave me excellent service on this as well.

I've been very satisfied with this keyboard, although I almost didn't get it after reading the reviews. Thankfully, I got it anyway! I'm a touch-typist with large hands, and I've been able to use it without having to look down very often. My fingers are able to get around to the keys well, but as another reviewer mentioned, some keys are in different places, like a notebook computer.

The unit folds down very compactly, which makes it easy to slip into a pocket or just tote along with the iPAQ.

My co-workers who also have iPAQs are very jealous of my keyboard, especially when I type in business cards or take notes in meetings. Highly recommended!

This keyboard is the best purchase for my PPC. It is the most integrated keyboard and it is very compact and sleek. I recommend this product to everyone.

Claims to fit Casio Cassiopeias and other Pocket PC PDAs. Had to cut it to fit my Cassiopeia. It does protect the screen well although it does get marked up pretty quickly. As well it is had to get off cleanly and the put another one on.

Write Right screen protectors are handy, effective, and a real pain to install.
I'm not a microsurgeon, but I've been working with electronics for thirty years and I thought putting on a thin piece of plastic would be a cinch!
WRONG!
In the first place, your screen must be immaculate or you'll end up with tiny bumps to mess up your writing and drag-and-drop technique. Do you know what to use to clean your screen? Neither do I. Everyone has a different idea about what's safe, and what will damage the screen. I've been using a glasses cleaner that my optician gave me and it works better than anything else I've tried. (The screen hasn't turned purple or stopped working either!)
The most important thing is to use a LINT-FREE cloth! Lens tissue works, but I don't like the feel. My optician helped there too! Soft, felt-like material that seems to have no weave.
Anyway, once you have the clean screen you can make an attempt. Follow the directions in the package...so simple! Line up an edge, carefully pulling it off the backing...darn! Crooked again!
Start over...Rats! One more time...close enough. Use the card to squish out the bubbles...okay. What's that stuff under the corner? Dirt? BR>You get the idea!
Once you get one on, be careful of the card! You can snag the film and tear it. I have yet to put on a protector without at least one tiny chunk of grit under it!
They do write smooth! My wife (who can put a protector on in ten seconds flat, no problems) uses a ball point pen as a stylus about half the time. She changes out protectors when she can't see through the ink any more.
We both will NOT use our PDA's without the screen protectors. They are more than worth the investment and the hassle of getting them on right.

I bought 98048 (for ipaq) from CompUSA. No trademark on it.
It's a little bit small for the screen, and difficult to paste
it on without any bubble. It protects the screen anyway.

Nice little unit. It's constructed pretty solidly and looks pretty handsome on the desk. A must have accessory.

Absolutely a convenient optional accessory for jornada 520-540 users. Setback is speed with its serial connection compared to more updated USB capability that is not available for these type of jornada. Works great for sync and recharge.

I also own a Palm Pilot with cradle so I didn't have great expectations for the HP cradle. I was delighted to see that the HP cradle was heavier, better built, and adds a power plug as a bonus. When I sit this down and use it, it doesn't slide about my desk because of the steel base and rubber feet. I am very happy with this cradle.

This RCA portable TV is a good-looking, generally well-performing handheld which delivers an image on par or exceeding those of its competitors. It's worth noting that this particular set boasts an active-matrix LCD screen, rather than the passive-scan screens typical with sets of this genre. This allows for bright, vivid colors regardless of which angle at which you view the image display.

Now for the bad part. Portable TV sets eat through batteries like no one's business, and a fresh set of four AAs will last you no more than 2 hours, at best. As you might expect, the batteries also increase the weight of your handheld by quite a bit, so many owners (including myself) may think it more viable to plug the set in with a standard AC adapter (or, if in a car, a cigarette-adapter type). This solution might work temporarily--possibly even for several months--but will eventually result in the sudden, permanent death of your TV. As one reviewer noted, one day the screen will simply not turn on, leaving you with a blank, cold screen to stare at. You can send the set in to the manufacturer for repair, provided you pay for UPS shipping ($10) and don't mind waiting two months for them to return your RCA handheld back to you with a nice, ugly 'R' for "refurbished" permanently engraved into the back. Once repaired, you might think (as I did) that the TV was now fixed to prevent further AC adapter incompatibility. That, of course, is not the case; after working for several more months, my TV set has returned to wherever electronics go when they die.

If you don't mind purchasing hundreds of alkaline batteries for your handheld, or had the foresight to purchase NiMh rechargeable batteries and a charger, you'll also have to consider reception issues as well. Just because this set may work well in one area doesn't necessarily guarantee good performance in another; as I learned from travelling, the strength of TV signals vary greatly from region to region. In Southern California (where the main networks are VHF), for instance, the RCA had no problem delivering a clear image without any additional assistance; in Northern California (mainly UHF), even the most insistent hand-wringing (extending the attenna, twisting it every which-way) couldn't yield an image without considerable static. The best advice: If you intend to buy, try the RCA out first-hand in your local electronics store, or wherever they carry it.

A few minor additional issues: the included headphone jack is mono, not stereo, which explains why you'll only hear sound coming out of one side of your headphones. The antenna screw tends to come loose, particularly if the region where you use the set requires a lot of antenna-twisting. Thirdly, don't expect to use this handheld outside in the daytime; the screen lacks enough contrast to display an image against the brightness of sunlight. This is not a flaw, just a general characteristic of all portable TVs.

i love this tv but some times if i am out side i can not wach it all that i like and i have a hard tim seeing it out sid but when i am in side i cna not wach all the thing that i like in all part of my house but i is a good tv

After buing 3 Casio LCD tv's,TV-880,TV-900,EV-550,I decided to give a look at this phenomenol set!!This little RCAhas without a doubt the best,cleanest,sharpest picture of any LCD tv on the market!!Since it is TFT active matrix,the picture is flawless with good reception,actually as good as my direct view tv's!! All I can say is if you want to start with the best,buy this tv!! It is also much less expensive than its competitors,and has a scratch resistant cover over the LCD display,which its competitors were too cheap to install,making it very easy to ruin the LCD display!! Do yourself a favor and buy some rechargable batteries and a charger!!Any questions.feel free!!

This is a nice little case - compact and holds the Visor nicely in the plastic clips. When I owned the Visor Neo, it was indispensable. Unfortuneately, when I upgraded to the Visor Prism, I no longer had a use for it. I was hoping to find one with the slim design and plastic clips that perfectly conform to the Visor, but I just ended up with another one of these that had been mislisted as being for the Prism. Ask questions before you buy if looking for the Prism model!

This is a great item to protect your Handspring Visor's screen, but unless it is the only item in your purse or briefcase, it's going to get banged around and your PDA will not be protected from dust.

Every time I pull mine out of my purse, it's covered with lint from tissues or one of the other 9 million items I've got flying around in there. The slot for the stylus is not secure as it is in the Handspring itself, so if you put a stylus in there, chances are that it will fall out and be buried in the bottom of your handbag.

The leather is supple and fine quality, but if I was going to look for a new cover/protector for my Handspring, I would get one that would enclose it completely and protect it from dust, moisture and jostling.

This is a nice case but it is not advertised correctly. The ad states that it fits all Visor Handhelds, it does not, and it clearly states this on the box. Do not buy this case if you own a Visor Edge (as I do) or the Vison Prism

I thought this would be a great handeld. I tried to use it, called & emailed HP MANY times over the past 6 months. Finally, HP tech support said that it MIGHT not work with Earthlink and that I must change my ISP. Why didn't HP note that in the specs before I spent $(...)? If you're thinking about this unit, try to find out if it works with your ISP first.

would like to know how new is this product. Does it have any scratches when u say its refurbished. What are the accessories that come with this prodcut. Basically how new does it looks.

I just want to refute the top review here, I have a 720, which is the same as the 728, just less memory, and i have accessed my Earthlink account to get on line more than once. I can't do it from home, but it worked in the expedia cafe in LAX, and in New Jersey, at my relatives' house.
