Finally, the Palm killer...
The HP iPAQ 1935 finally comes close to rivaling the sweet simplicity, smooth operation and convenient size of the Palm handhelds.

I switched to Pocket PC after years of using Palms because I was tired of syncronization conflicts with my Palm and figured two Microsoft apps will sync much better than a Microsoft / Palm app. So far I was right...no difficulties in synchronization.

This unit is smaller than the Palm V (but slightly heavier) and operates with ease. My only complaint is with the battery life but I guess you can expect bright, color screens to do that to a battery. Overall, thumbs-up on the new 1900-series HP iPAQs!

Great Product - Poor Accessories
Let me start by explaining that I have owned an Ipaq3760 for a few years now and decided to "upgrade" to a newer model but also get something smaller to carry around. After my purchase I was told by a HP sales representative that this is really not really an upgrade and now I agree. If this was someone first purchase of an Ipaq or any PDA then they might not have the same complaints that I have.

The positives first, the size is great, this is a shirt pocket PDA and I am very pleased with the reduction in size from the 3760. The screen is bright and very easy to read. There is no wasted space on the front of the system at all. The function and navigation buttons work well. The stylus' size is perfect and fits very nicely into the unit. Finally, I love the removable battery.

Now the problems;

1. There is no docking cradle available for this model yet. You got to be kidding me. How can you release a product like this that targets small businesses and not have something like that ready! This means my Ipaq lies on my desk instead of being in a position that I can quickly glance at my appointment or see what time it is. I was told by HP that the cradle for the other similar model (H1910) will not work.

2. The USB cable used to synchronize my H1935 with my desktop does not charge the unit. This was not true for the older model Ipaqs. Why would you want to remove functionally like that? You have to plug the wall adapter into the USB cable. This is very messy on the desktop.

3. Why does each model have a different charging/communication port? This means all new cables for serial, cellular phone, car charger connections. Again not problem if you don't already have all these items.

4. Why, why, why couldn't HP have installed a normal audio jack?!? They use a smaller jack. Maybe this is for some future standard, but I not aware of one. You have to keep this 2 inch mini-cable with you to plug into headphones or speakers.

5. Last complaint, everyone that I know that has a PDA and wants to "beam" something to another PDA, points the top of their PDA to the top of the other. This new 1935 has the IR port on the side. Is this a new standard? Maybe I need to look other new PDAs to see how their IR ports are positioned. It just seems odd to me.

That's my experience with this new Ipaq. I really do like this new model and I'm going to keep it despite some of the aggravating quirks it has and lack of accessories. I will get use to quirks and wait for the docking cradle. I use my PDA for contacts and keeping track of my appointments, but also use it with my cell phone for e-mail and monitoring the company's network. I was looking for something that is easier to carry around and this works perfect for that.

Ease of Entry
Disclaimer first. This is the first pda I've owned. I've never had a palm product so I can't compare. But I can tell you I am VERY happy with this product. VERY thin and light-fits nicely in a shirt pocket and doesn't drag your shirt down. Nice, BRIGHT, sharp display. To me, data entry is critical. I find the transcriber-you just write your normal writing on the screen and it transcribes it into type--excellent for data entry. MUCH easier than poking a tiny keyboard one letter at a time. 4 stars instead of 5 for using an sd card slot instead of cf. Get some WriteShields to protect the screen.

Best Buy for the price
I bought this item couple of days back to replace my Casio organizer. I am really impressed with its size and the features. I choose this one over Palm and Sony Clie, because it's using the Microsoft pocket PC OS. It's very intutive as long as you are a PC user and it works very well with your MS Outlook. However I am not getting an appropriate 'Case' for this item. Most of the cases you get in the market are bigger for this item. So you loose the advantage of its ultra compact size. I would definitely recommend this item, for the price and its feature.
