Well, Operation:Buy MobilePro 790 for 20$usd from Craigslist was a go and was successful.
I love it so much! It has a much better keyboard than my Sylvania Netbook
(the 7inch Chinese things
) haha and HPC2000 really does rock! I had been messing with CE 6.0 on my Netbook, but the screen and of course touchscreen is so much better on the MobilePro--not to mention battery life is more than two hours
(unlike that netbook! lol
).
This is probably the best twenty I ever spent! It came with the MobilePro 790
(um...of course?
), original NEC AC adapter, original stylus, manuals, CD, CF card, serial cable
(which I heard is hard to find
), USB to serial, and USB to IrDA. The USB serial/irda alone would've been worth the 20 bucks if the 790 didn't work...but it's soo much more epic when everything works.
(By the way, I apologise if I seem spazzy, I'm just so happy with it!
)
I probably should've messed with HPC2000 before naïvely giving up on H/PCs four years ago.
Now I'm debating on what to get for it, mainly a wireless and/or ethernet chip, 2gb CF card, and well...yeah. It really is a great device
. Now to go app crazy with only a 64mb CF... And by the way, that flash ROM partition was an unexpected surprise and I am debating on that RAM upgrade to 48mb that CE Geek mentioned...
