What if you solved all the problems with your handheld?

What if you solved all the problems with your handheld - what would you do?

What if you got your device all hooked up - with all the software and handwriting recognition and wi-fi card and ethernet card - and all the storage you could ever desire ...

What would you do then?

You would be dead....



I don't care what device platform it is - H/PC, P/PC, Smartphone, Apple, Unix, Linux, Windows, carrier pigeon - every device has a problem. Some are worse than others and some are OS related and some are hardware related.

Like the paperless office, the "perfect" device is urban legend.

Well, our [newer] H/PCs can use ethernet and wifi cards, and handwriting recognition...

umm, buy another brand and start over?

Seriously though, my 6651 is perfect, it does all I ask of it quite well. I have no nagging issues with it Oh wait, my batteries need replacing, but that's not a flaw/fault in the unit. It's my laziness.

That's what I was thinking - start over! Or else hang my head and cry.


Seriously though - Wally - which is the better unit the Intermec 6651 or the MobilePro 790?

oh I know ... sell one of your 6651 ... *HINT* ...

well at some point i did have my hpc all setup and didn't need anything else. i had only one hpc and was perfectly happy with it. that was the J720 right after i acquired the socket bluetooth card for it at last. then i found a J728 at a local site and then the problem was how to get it cheap by the time i got it at an acceptable price i wanted wifi too, and i encountered problems with dummy dlls (ah, mfcce)... then i found the MP900 at an irresistible price.. and with it a new level of hacking knowledge on ce.net (sometimes more complicated than with hpc2000). then i realized i wanted a sig3... and so on...
actually, i think until i got the MP900 and the ericsson mc16, i was perfectly happy with just one hpc and had no problems either, except i just had to upgrade sometimes (from psion 5mx to j720, then to j728). after these two, i realized i could make a great collection of hpc's... so that's my problem now, to find the ones on my wish list! fortunately the list gets shorter and shorter.. oh and if only i could find a 1 gb sd card for a decent price here.

yes.. sell one of them ... to who?

I can think of someone . . . .



Maybe you could program the 6651 to search for and order new batteries on the Web automatically . . . .
