Mon, 19 Sep 2005 17:27:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Andrew Youll) Comments http://osnews.com/thread?33502 http://osnews.com/thread?33502 Yup, the rx3715 has 128 MBs of flash storage, and 32 MBs of it goes to the OS ROM (that's why 96 MBs are free for usage).

In the rx3115 case though, HP went too cheap, and instead of including a 64 MB flash chip (and hense leave ~30 MBs of available storage for the user), it included a 32 MB chip, which only leaves 3.8 MBs for available storage.

This entire series has been a huge flop for HP. Run do not walk to the 22XX series or 47XX series Pocket PC for a decent device.

This is not true. The rx3xxx are as good of PDAs like any other PPC is. Plus it has the additional multimedia software. Your remark was not fair.

Opinions are opinions, we are all entitled to them, and if you want to disagree with someone, that's fine. However, you are in no position to judge "fairness" of somebody's opinion. Neither of you qualify your comments any more than stating your opinions with absolutely no backing facts, so I suppose that makes your opinion "unfair" as well? Children.

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.

For better results/features and for WM5 support, you can buy the MissingSync: http://www.markspace.com/missingsync_windowsmobile.php Mon, 19 Sep 2005 21:43:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Eugenia) Comments http://osnews.com/thread?33643 http://osnews.com/thread?33643 Thank You

[probably get a -5]

I have a 2nd hand palm, which syncs quite well, but they seem to be losing the battle with MS PDA devices. The Remote control seems nice

How well do they surf the internet access email? Mon, 19 Sep 2005 21:55:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Anonymous) Comments http://osnews.com/thread?33650 http://osnews.com/thread?33650 >How well do they surf the internet access email?

The PocketPCs are superior to Palms in terms of web surfing. The Palm has various ODM ports of Netfront (under different names, "WebPro" and "Blazer" is one of those) and AvantGo as its main browsers.

The PocketPC side has Internet Explorer (engine equivelant to desktop IE 4.5), the latest NetFront 3.2 and AvantGo.

However, the biggest advantage of PPCs over Palm web surfing is not the actual browser, but the PPC font engine. As you can see in my screenshot of osnews running on Pocket IE, PPCs support AA TTF fonts, which account for better readability and smaller, but crispier fonts. Which means that PPCs can cram more information and crisp text in their QVGA screens than the 320x320 and sometimes even the 320x480 Palms.

I have used it with both Palms and PPCs and it worked pretty well. The only problem with PPCs on the Macs is the fact that some third party PPC software only come in .exe format and not in .cab format, and so the Mac can't load .exe in the devices.
