Pocket PC Thoughts

I am quite pleased with my Pocket PC so far.  This nifty gadget is incredibly handy for me, especially when I am at work.  I can check email, surf the web, even mount network drives if I need to.  The days when I have to carry a laptop around with me at work are long gone, now that I have a Pocket PC. I am quite pleased with the performance of Windows Mobile 5.0 as well.  I have to admit that I am a big fan of Pocket Putty, too.  Below is a screenshot of my "Today" screen.

HP makes some awesome Pocket PCs.  The  HP IPAQ HX2495 is definitely a solid performer.  It's got 256 Mb RAM, built in Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, slots for Compact Flash and SD memory cards, a bold and bright screen, not to mention Windows Media Player Mobile 10 so I can listen to my MP3s if I so desire (It even renders videos quite well, too).  Yep, it will run pretty much anything I throw at it. The built-in email application is also quite nifty, it works quite nicely with IMAP folders for me.  I cannot say that Pocket Internet Explorer is perfect, though.  This site looks as if somebody squashed it with an iron when viewing it on my IPAQ.

Try UnSpace with your Pocket PC. I use WP, and there's a plug-in that does a "Pocket PC format" for folks logging on.

I don't know if it's used -- I never inserted a page counter on it. I should have.
