Hi There,

I've been given the chance to get an IPAQ 5550 But I am worried that will mean my Jornada 720 is boxed up and put away in the cupboard. . Do you think I would do? and also shall I get it? I don't like them but I've fallen into the trap of the PPC

Thanks

Nick

My uncle has one of those, and it is quite nice, quite outdated though.

PPCs are nice for media (video) and games, as H/PC's crappy screens can't match TFTs, but for anything else they're just a toy. I tought the same when i got my ipaq H3635 on ebay, but it was just a matter of playing 2 days with it to convince me that it wasn't what i needed.

Don't let the dark side of the force take over you and long life to H/PC's

It is one of the nicer PPCs.

But trust me, you will miss the keyboard. So don't even bother with it. If you do, you will end up packing and maybe selling the iPAQ anyway. Just my prediction

well ... one way is to get the iPaq and then send your Jornada to me (hehe, I'll provide shipment), and I'll take good care of your Jornada for you ... ... maybe upgrade the li-ion battery or something ....

Hey Snappy!, maybe we should trade our HPC's for a month...I play with NetBSD on yours while you install it on mine...

-HEY DON'T DELETE ALL MY STUFF! I know you were thinking about it...
