Reviews

There is a range of devices coming onto the market as quickly as they're being discontinued.

So before making a choice, apart from gathering recommendations from friends and colleagues, it's usually a good idea to consider some reviews.

For reviews of some of the devices available, try the following web sites. Use the search facilities at each site to find the specific make and model.

“Our original choice of HP IPAQ and the Margi Presenter (used to project images) was not user friendly. We were not able to use the SD memory expansion slot as it was being used by the projector cable. This meant that there was only a small amount of memory available on the PDA. This restricted the number of images and presentations that could be stored on the PDA. We eventually chose the O2 Xda 11i with Clearvue and used a ‘backpack’ which included an extended battery. This tripled the battery life.
