User Submitted Hewlett Packard Jornada 720 Handheld PC Reviews (cont...)Date: 2000-12-06 Jornada 720 This is a great product, but the keyboard takes some getting used to. I have also not yet figured out how to access AOL using the e-mail feature. My understanding is that there is an AOL download accessory for other HP devices, but perhaps not yet for the 720. I would appreciate any thoughts from other users. Many thanks! Date: 2000-11-21 Nice Machine, but no (?) support for Visual Basic CE It does not appear that this machine, with its new processor, is supported by Visual Basic for CE 6. I might be mistaken (and I hope I am) but it appears that you can not write applications for it in VB. Perhaps embedded VB will work, but the app I am working on with it will not work on this machine. I love HP products and hope that the support will come soon, but a call to support line says VB CE is not supported. Date: 2000-11-18 Fast, compact, light weight and full of features! The HP Jornada 720 does everything I need to do for on-the-road computing. Checking and responding to e-mail, surfing the net, taking meeting notes, drafting memos and other documents, and accessing all those usual organizer functions. I now leave my heavy and bulky laptop brick at the office and take the 720 instead when traveling for business or pleasure. Lots of bundled software tools are included making the Jornada 720 a versatile machine. It's flexible allowing for expansion and scalability. I especially like adding PCMCIA Type II, compact flash and smart cards. The audio recorder and built-in speakers are also nice. The standard 32 MB of memory is an improvement over the older 600 series models. The improved Windows for HPC OS will be very familiar to Windows NT/95/98 users and the sync capability makes the 720 a logical extension of my desktop machine. Some minor drawbacks: it is somewhat pricey compared to the Jornada 548 and other Pocket PC handhelds; the keyboard (although nice) is a bit tiny. I use a two-finger or two-eraser heads poking technique to minimize keyboard errors. Great battery - 9 hours! I do love it! Date: 2000-11-17 WOW! SO EASY, MY MINI LAPTOP Being in Sales, client information is very important to me. With the Jornada 720 I am able to have all my clients history available. With the large LCD color screen and the use of the stylus (use as a mouse)it does not take a computer genious to work with the jornada. I am able to work on a proposal while sitting at the doctors office, then go back to my office sync it with my pc and finish where I left off. It is well worth the price, I love it, can't be without it. Date: 2000-11-01 Great Screen, keyboard, modem! I just got the Jornada 720 and love it. It has a nice - large color display. The keyboard is great... so much easier than using a stylus. The system comes with a lot of great software and even a built in modem. A couple drawbacks: I wish they had the screen protectors for this one cause you still do use the stylus on the screen.... works like a mouse. The other drawback, I wish they had a USB to USB connection. Maybe they do, but it looks like serial to USB.... things are not too clear about that. Other than that, I love it.
