Pros: Diverse applications, Microsoft chutzpah Cons: Expensive
Palm PDA users? You have my attention. That’s saying a lot considering I wrote a review here damning the Palm platform (see “PDA Smackdown”). In my experience the Palm was an eclectic technological toy that wasn’t really useful as a personal...

Pros: Flashy Cons: Too big and heavy, too many useless and hard to use features
The HP Jornada 545 is loaded with features. Unfortunately, it doesn't do any of its many tasks very well. After only two weeks of using it, I returned it to the mega-store (thanks for the 30-day return policy!) I was lured by it's flash and sizzle, but...

Pros: lots of features; cool design Cons: not enough memory; pricy
If you want a Plam Pilot then consider the HP Jornada 545 instead.
For starters it has a nice colorful screen, a sleek design in black case and great handwriting recognition. Were as with the Palms you have to learn graffti in order to write here...

Pros: MP3 Playback, Voice recording Cons: Data entry and user interface.
Ever since I used my first Palm Pilot I've felt that these devices would one day change the way in which we use computers. In a large sense they have. The newer generation of handheld devices can perform many of the chores that desktop computers also...

Pros: Can download software for it off the net easy. Cons: Can't view big documents in Excel. Not enough room on the screen.
Hi,
I had a Philips Nino that ran the older version of Windows CE. After research, I found that Windows CE was going to get a face lift. Pocket PC took over the old life of the OS System that ran my Nino. I wanted to see if I would be able to...

Pros: its great, nothing better! Cons: nothing bad at all!
"Is that a Palm V?" asked the lady seated across the aisle from me on an America West flight from Denver to Sacramento. "No, it's something new," I answered. But I could understand her question. At first glance, HP's new Jornada...

Pros: COLOR, Expedia Maps, MP3, ebooks Cons: Twice as thick as Palm V, "synchs" with Outlook
If all you are looking for in a PDA is an address book and scheduler, then I think the Palm is the way to go because it's so simple. But if you are interested in something that can entertain you during dull moments or if you think you may have some...

by cccpastor , May 18 '00
Pros: Ease of use, applications, Quick sync time Cons: At $499 a pop, do your homework first
I am a pastor of a busy, multi-staff church. I have always wanted a device that would allow me to portably manage PIM data as well as manipulate key documents (such as message outlines, budgets, etc.) while on the move. The Jornada does exactly this,...

Pros: breadth of functionality, good looks Cons: cost, size, platform
In the last year I have owned a Palm Vx, an HP Jornada 430se, a Cassiopeia, and my latest toy the HP Jornada 545. The HP Jornada 545 is very well engineered, and has a tremendous amount of functionality but this comes at a cost.....portability and...

Pros: Rugged, fast Cons: Poor quality screen, not quite as easy as Palm OS
I have been burned by Windows CE in the past. Microsoft's slimmed down version of Windows for handheld devices has been typified by a complex interface, sluggish performance, memory hogging and general instability. Aside from the memory hogging, I think...

Pros: Color, expandable, durable, a true pocket PC, synchs great with my PC Cons: Less colors than originally advertised but this didn't affect performance
I have never been a "PDA" user because they were bulky, heavy, overbuilt, black and white and more inconvenient to use than a paper calendar or laptop. Then I got my Jornada. It happened to be a 545 and while I would recommend a 548 or higher model if...

Pros: Stable OS, Monumentous Sound, Clean Look, Fair price Cons: Cannot see screen too well in sunlight, File transfer lacks speed
People are curious to see what i have in my hand. I do lots of writing and this device is the perfect companion for me to write down ideas and thoughts. The music player connected to a speaker system is superb. With a CF card of mp3's you can use...

Pros: Durability, scalabilty, overall software package. Cons: Needs more memory.
The HP Jornada 545 is a piece of work. I fell in love with it even before it was out on the shelves. It's durability and scalability is amazing. Compared to other PDA's of it's kind it surpasses. It's loaded with great software and can be easily...

Pros: Interface, software, speed, processor, memory Cons: Backordered everywhere but HP
My boss wanted a pocket organizer, so I started researching them for him. Then my son, who's a Junior in Computer Programing decided he was tired of keeping his schedule by hand. The end result was the Jornada 548.
This microcomputer (That's...

Pros: great design, small size, lots of features and bundled software Cons: Lack of available 3rd party programs
The HP Jornada 545 is an awesome PDA. I recently got to spend some time playing with one of these, and it was love at first site.
The size is just right, being roughly the same as a Palm III (although a little heavier, thanks in part to the...
