PDAs, Cellphones, Wireless Last year HP embarked into the mobile media market with its iPaq rx3xxx line of PDAs, a product sold primarily to consumers who prefer an all-in-one PDA/video/audio device. They released two versions of the series, the rx3115 and the higher-end rx3715. Geeks.com sent us the rx3115 and we put it to test.

upper limit memory constraint

rx3115 is pretty nifty indeed, and has come down tremendously in price over the last year. My next purchase for it will be a pair of bluetooth stereo headphones - and I used it to pick up some skills on programming for Windows Mobile Devices and Bluetooth. You really can't beat it - essentially a whole platform for $200!

Recently, I picked up a 1GB Flash card, and the upped the media use of this device. My only gripe is that upon adding the card, the device registered 982MB of free memory (instead of 1024)... So that's about 40MB of memory that I can't use. (I think I read somewhere that it has an upper limitation of 1GB total). Not that I'm deeply concerned, it just seems like a bit of a waste.
