HP iPAQ rx3700

Overall I am extremely pleased with the planning that went into this device. Some areas of improvement I feel is the Photosmart Camera and the proprietary movie format. It just drives me nuts when you have the software to support MPEG and force the end user to launch another application on their desktop in order to view it on your PC. The strengths of this unit which are a bunch are the bottom button multi-tasking buttons, Nevo Media Server, a whopping 97 MB of iPAQ File Store, Battery Life which we have used for two days and still no charging, wireless connectivity manager (see our h6300 review which we talked about this), Speaker sound and last but not least embedded PocketTV Pro! HP has done it again the innovator for all others to follow!

Great review Dave! It makes my hp2210 already look like a boat anchor. I guess you just can't ever get caught up with the latest thing. Believe me, I've tried and found it to be true and expensive. Keep up the great site.

Benchmarking isnt a big deciding factor. We polled our audience to see if they want benchmarks and came back no. Too many factors in benchmarking who knows what programs are loaded, two different OS, etc.

hmmm... it's like promoting ipaq rx3700, can you try to make something about comparing with other such as its predecessor ipaq 4150.. in term of battery power, processor speed, dimension... ah... and the spb benchmarking! so, we can grasp a better understanding on this unit!

but, afterall, you guys really done a great review! :)
