iPAQ 110: A big Yawn…
At the time, where the stand alone PDA/PocketPC is agonizing its slow death, HP has the courage (and I applause this endeavor) to market some new devices namely the iPaq 110, a 3.5″ QVGA stand alone PDA running WM6. The other non-phone iPAQ is the VGA 210, will be available later.
Jaime Rivera from PocketNow posted a 2 part video review (Part 2 is HERE!). Jaime did a great job testing thoroughly the interface and the application on the device. But frankly, I found hopelessly disappointed. At this stage of the game, HP offers a device where user’s expectation has been raised by the iPhone standard. I watch painfully the old WM interface that haft of the time is not responsive to the stylus…the dimming button black out the screen, etc..
On the application side, things are a little bit better with Office Mobile 6.1 but then again HP fills up the device with HP crapware/bloatware that are built in ROM, unlike the PC, WM user can not even remove them.
My daughter looks the video over my shoulder and said “it is so yesterday!” and walked away…That pretty much sums up my thoughts…
Have a look and let us know what do you think!
