HP iPAQ rx1950 Pocket PC

Display : 240×320, colour depth 65536
Processor type : SC32442-300mhz

Generally, an ok device. I have a blackberry from work, so most of the organizational features - i.e. syncing with Outlook, is obsolete for my purposes. The speed is fast and responsive. WIFI has no apparent issues. The battery seems to last quite a while. I haven’t been able to get a decent pdf viewer for this though., I mean, there’s PocketXpdf, but man, it’s really slow… which kind of sucks because that’s about all I could use it for. Internet Explorer works mostly ok… some large complicated blogs like the Big Picture macroeconomics blog, do not work. The touchscreen keyboard is easy to use if you are using it with the pen.
Cool! I just went to http://www.google.com/pda and downloaded google maps….. and…. it doesn’t work.
However, realvnc works really well! http://www.realvnc.com/products/beta/ce/
Other than that… rather difficult to find software made for the pocket pc nowadays… but maybe that’s because of what I’m looking for.
