Handheld Reviews

I have used this scanner for over a year at work and had no problems. It allows to scan page by page anything up to 8.5" wide. It also allows to add comments to both text and pictures. Cut/copy and paste function allows to reproduce portions of the document, including both comments and the scanned 'picture'. And not only in the document itself. You can paste into Word, Excel or PaintBrush, if you wish, as a picture (it comes out big, but can be easily resized).
The text recognition feature that comes with the software allows to convert the document into either Word or Excel, if you had a table, for example.
You can also use the software to fill in blanks in a form, just drag your document into the 'typewriter' (or 'ABC') icon on the bottom of the screen.
Very compact, about 10"x3"x4", it's an excellent tool if you travel with equipment. The "lid" has 2 positions, allowing for the sheet to either go towards the user (feeder side) or slide out of the back of the devise.

GOOD review follows! First, this is NOT the best choice for PERFECT scans of photos or fragile documents. It does a perfectly adequate job with snapshots and newspaper clippings, an EXCEPTIONAL job with color or B/W letter-size material. It scans for fliing/fax, OCR or color images, up to 600 DPI.

If you are careful, you can easily feed sheets into this device without trouble. Be patient. It has an included software application that allows scanning multiple succesive sheets to one document, for convienence...but you can separate the pages later! Cool. Or you can group different scans to one document later. Cooler!

The image editing software is pretty darn good. Why? Because it has a decent selection of tools while not being overly complicated to use. You can use it as a desktop-type filing system too.

Some versions of the "Paperport" software export scans to PDF! If you understand what that means, you'll jump for joy...

But you know where the Strobe REALLY excels? You can quickly scan a document, drag it to Word and have about 95% immediately recognized as an editable Word file. Very little re-typing. How many times do you need some information IN your computer at school or work that exists only in a printed form? Wow! And you did this in about 30 seconds...

The Strobe is not perfect, but it does many jobs well enough to overlook that it is not the best solution of any ONE job. But it's the 90% solution for a TON of jobs! Buy it. You will not regret it.

This is a fantastic game. i am an video game vetren, and this geame may very well be the greatest RTS of all time. And now, u are no longer limited by the bonds of portability. This a near perfect port of the PC classic, and it rocks. Every unit is displayed with crisp graphics. The booming soundtrack kepps the tempo up. THis game never ends because of limitlesss senarious. U can download a demo to try at www.handago.com. Buy this masterpiece and have fun!!!

Bought this primarily so that I could read eBooks while floating in the pool during the summer. It is great! No worry about water splashes, and will float. Can wear around neck to reduce chance of dropping. Also use for grocery shopping, and is also just great protection from the elements in general. Easy to tap thru plastic cover.

I bought this to try karaoke singing on my PC. The sound card on my computer allows me to mix midi/kar files playing on my computer with the input from the microphone and record them. The sound quality from this mic exceeded my expectations. It was far superior to the sound output from the kind of microphones that are meant for voice chat over the internet. I am no professional singer and this mic was well in keeping with my budget.

I never have to change the batteries regularily. This is the only portable TV with this built in feature. Even Casio does not have it. I like this unit!

This case is very high quality. It is just the same as all the other flip cases out there except much cheaper. Very good deal.

This device is very compact compared to the contraption that bundled with my Clie. It has only one USB cable and functions as hotsync cable AND a charger. Don't need to carry the adapter for charging my clie when travelling around.
I don't know why SONY hasn't thought of this.

This item works great! It is very durable and is a lot thinner than it looks, but still protects as well as you'd expect.
Great for carrying inside a purse that has items such as keys that could ding up a PDA.
It even fits around my Sony NR-70, which is long. In fact it's perfect for the flip screen that my NR-70 has.
I'd recommend it to anyone who has a larger-sized PDA that is looking for a secure way to keep their PDA safe.
It's not as attractive as the leather cases, but it is a lot cheaper.

(Please ignore the rating.) This leather carrying case also fits the CPen 800.

I now own three of these, one in the phone table at home, one in my office desk at work and the third in my car! I always have my Handspring visor with me and I was always leaving the cable at the last location that I used my ThinModem to log on for email, duh! Now I have the devise specific cable available at my most used areas!
