HP TouchPad

HP TouchPad

Introduction:

Feel the depth of oblivion, it seemed as if all the hard work with the Palm webOS was going nowhere fast as their mobile platform is not approved for the consumer than the competition, but luckily for them, the HP fell down and saved as a premature death. Reinvigorate and sustain cash flow almost insurmountable, the HP is now looking for a shot and taking webOS to the next level, that only Palm dreamed a dream. In fact, it was only in February, when the world was introduced to the devices webOS next level - one of them is nothing but the touchpad HP.

Nearly five months have passed, and the world is finally getting his first taste of the tablet in TouchPad webOS 3.0 HP - but more importantly, some are curious about how it is facing some of the Titans on the market. Fortunately, it sports the price level oh so nice for the $ 500 16GB Wi-Fi base only model, and I know it's packaging specifications as impressive under the hood, it may emerge as a competitor. But knowing that the bar has been raised in terms of what consumers expect of tablets, it will need to distinguish themselves from head to toe to get a piece of cake for dessert.

Design:

Let's be honest here, but the first thing that comes to mind when looking at the touchpad is now reminiscent of a large 3G/3GS iPhone - due mainly to its black plastic exterior and the placement of buttons. Instead of a flashy sports kind of industrial design, see the TouchPad is conventional in appearance fierce and not try to impress. Instead, it builds from the piano black glossy plastic, which seems wrong polishing the box, but attracts fingerprints and footprints terribly unlike any other. At the same time, is bigger (0.54 "thick) and surprisingly heavy (10.26 oz) and some of its rivals - although it makes us wonder, because it sounds hollow after a quick tap on the back. However, it will not win a prize in the design department, but nice touch with the curved back - while it feels solidly built, mostly.

HP iPAQ rw6815

HP iPAQ rw6815

 Introduction:

Hewlett Packard iPAQ latter has a longer name - iPAQ rw6815 Personal Messenger. He sounds like a kind of mobile instant messaging dedicated machine, without using the related work. It is a false impression, because Pocket PC, like the others, running Windows Mobile 5.0 is also able to pick up your personal e-mail by connecting to office networks.

Will talk to you, though, that can be confusing at times. At least you can change the function.

You can buy the iPAQ rw6815 Personal Messenger of £ 351 from eXpansys, which is where our test model came.

Design:

IPAQ rw6815 Personal Messenger is a lift-up lid of the screen - one of the clearest things in its design. You can see through the screen, and when you want to produce in order to use the touch-sensitivity to lift the lid, the communicator of Star Trek style. One might be tempted to sign up friends north of the border radius of you.

In fact, we hated it. It's something HP has done periodically in the past, and we are surprised he survived. The good news is that you can take the screen cover on no more effort than simply pulling without slots in the top of the main unit that holds it in place. Then you can throw it away. Sorry, HP - but thank you for providing the outer casing which protects rw6815, with or without a screen cover science fiction.

There is another remarkable detail rw6815: its size. The unit is very, very stocky, just 102 mm high. It's pretty bold to 19mm, and about as wide as usual for a Pocket PC to 58mm. This means that it feels a little different from the usual pocket and rests easily in your pocket. We rather like the truncated format.

Hewlett-Packard does not need to compromise on screen size to get to this size and shape, but - it measures 68 mm from corner to corner.

Silver all-over coverage is very attractive, but it is mostly plastic with a couple of splashes of metal, for example, two four buttons that are on the screen. Metal buttons are the call and end keys, including two soft menu button. Their center is a small controller, and the two left and right speakers.

The device sends the stereo output to headphones, and these small speakers, but do not expect to hear the stereo effect from them - they are too close together to do the job properly. And do not expect to be able to easily use your favorite headphones to the connector on the bottom edge of the house is 2.5 mm (as opposed to the standard 3.5 mm) black.

HP iPAQ 514

HP iPAQ 514

Introduction:

Hewlett Packard iPAQ 514 Voice Messenger is the first Windows Mobile smartphone that we saw in the company. This may be a surprise, since HP has been involved with Windows Mobile since its launch in 2000 and was one of the pioneers of the Pocket PC connected.

HP is well aware of the target market iPAQ 514 Voice Messenger. This is not a "bells and whistles," smart phone, but the deliberately low-cost, low-key device. This, along with features such as Voice Reply and easy settings for VoIP Wi-Fi, could prove attractive to many customers.

Design:

Grey, black and silver, this Windows Mobile 6 is nothing special, and there is no plan for the buttons and keys. HP has planned an admirably simple, and has not broken any molds.

The iPAQ 514 commands will be very familiar to anyone who has used a Windows Mobile smartphone. There is a large square pad with an OK button in the center. To his left sit the call button, a button that takes you to the Today screen of Windows Mobile and a soft menu button. To the right is the end, back and other soft-menu buttons. The call, end and OK buttons are silver, while the rest is black.

Under this bank is the keypad. Although the buttons above which is relatively large, the keyboard is a bit cramped. However, all the buttons, but the money is shiny black plastic and touch are raised in the center, making it relatively easy to hit to dial.

We note that the iPAQ 514 Voice Messenger is a relatively inexpensive smartphone - a device SIM free, at least. Of course, HP has had to make one or two compromises to meet its price, and one of these relates to the screen.

The screen is a little small compared to other Windows Mobile smartphones with modern measuring only 2 inches. from corner to corner. And while we're used to seeing 320 by 240 pixels, which is 176 by 220. If you are not familiar with the high resolution of other displays, may not be a problem with these specifications. However, if you're thinking of seeing a lot of Web pages, low resolution and smaller screen means less of each page is visible at all times.

Side buttons are minimal. In line with this device voice-centered approach, allowing a button on the right side for you to run the software integrated Voice Commander (more than that later). The left edge are a volume rocker.

Also on the left side is where the headphone jack. This is a 2.5 mm connector, while the headset is composed of mono-ear headphones. After the briefing we iPAQ 514 Voice Messenger, HP said that its target market of business users do not need a stereo headset. We're not entirely convinced, and if users do not want to replace the stereo headphones, but also find a 2.5mm to 3.5mm converter.

The housing is made entirely of plastic, which helps keep weight to an acceptable 102g. In general, the iPAQ 514 Voice Messenger feels a little big, because it is not as thin as some other phones. However, with dimensions of 107 mm in height and 48.6mm wide and 16.3mm thick, can not be described as large.

HP iPAQ 910c

HP iPAQ 910c

Introduction:

As the old iPAQ hw6900, 910c has a QWERTY bar Windows Mobile Professional, GPS, WiFi and Bluetooth. But the similarities end there. The old model was a bit 'behind the times in terms of design and cellular data: it was not 3G, and it seemed more like a PDA iPAQ typed an old phone. 910c is faster than 7.2 Mbps HSDPA 3G and style reminiscent of the Motorola Q9 Global touch-screen.

The iPAQ 5.4 oz is just a bit thicker than the Samsung BlackJack II, thinner, but 0.4 ounces heavier than the Treo 800W and narrower than the width of Motorola Q9h-ish. For a Windows Mobile touch screen, the iPAQ nice compact and much thinner than the side QWERTY slider like the HTC Tilt, and M810 E-TEN MWg Zinc II. If you like the size and design of the BlackJack II and Moto Q9, but want a touchscreen iPAQ is your answer.

Design:

As is the case with many WinMo QWERTY bar phone with one hand is a breeze. Although it lacks the capacity to use Palm enhancements is also determined by hand Treo, it is too easy to dial smart dialing, speed, open the Start menu, check email for Windows and close with one hand and without using the stylus. But that would have a Blackjack II or Moto Q If you do not want to touch the screen for some tasks, right? You can scroll through the links in IE Mobile until the thumb is numb, or use your finger or the stylus (a good old metal telescopic boom includes metal strapping, no toothpicks here) scroll and click links . Although the LED-backlit transflective display is small compared to WinMo professional standards (which are usually 2.8 "), the iPAQ 2.46" screen is too small for the thread link or read the text. The screen is very bright, cheerful and has a bias slightly warmer color that makes photos look more natural and enjoyable.

Gone are the days of your iPAQ 240 x 240, Yes! The HP 910 has a display of 320 x 240 landscape (no way to turn the vertical orientation). So you see the screen as much as you would tilt and other standard QVGA WinMo phone, but in landscape mode, it is better to surf the web, work with spreadsheets and watching videos. There is no option to rotate the screen in portrait mode, which is not something you generally want to do, but some games require initial vertical orientation (even rotate the screen in landscape - go figure). The games include Bejeweled two jobs, Broken Sword and distant galaxies. Games that do not include the Corsair and Red Sector 2112. The display is the traditional back and we would like to be very short, like the HTC Touch Dual and MWg Zinc II, they are much more friendly to the fingers. However, the relatively small LCD iPAQ does not lend itself to use the extended finger.

IPAQ 910c Business Messenger is a quad band GSM unlocked phone, which supports all GSM bands worldwide and EDGE: 850/900/1800/1900MHz. Because it is open, it works with all GSM SIM card (which usually means the U.S. AT & T and T-Mobile). This is a global 3G UMTS and HSDPA 850/1900/2100MHz bands. HSDPA works well with AT & T in the U.S.. IPAQ is a new, faster 7.2Mbps HSDPA specifications and tested in the DFW area, we obtained an average of 630kbps is the DSL Reports mobile speed test (post-iPhone 3G, which is a good result, because the 3G network is been busy). So the iPAQ is a very good performer when it comes to information, and as a result, web pages load quickly and downloading e-mail quickly. Phone Wizard, which will determine the data and the MMS, when a new SIM is inserted, making life easier for those who are outside their carrier settings.

HP veer 4g

HP veer 4g

Introduction:

HP Jon Rubenstein said that his company wanted to turn a new direction, and certainly was not Veer - Veer 4G HP is likely to be the smallest fully functional smart phone market when it goes on sale May 15 day. In short, is the Palm Pixi Pre Plus disguise, only to delightfully small package WebOS 2.1 and modern functionality. How does it feel just a little keyboard to write, or throw the cards in all its small 2.6-inch App? Why HSPA + hotspot in your pocket, and that the G in addition, to reduce the frequency of its tiny 910mAh battery? These are the issues that led us to play in the 4G Veer this week, and you will find the answer after the break.

Design:

When I saw the HP Veer, it was a miniature version of the Pre 2 more each way meaningful - a deep black coatings, soft plastics and the buttons are all the same places. New version of AT & T white, but looks and feels like a giant chicken egg. It 'still cute as a button and the zipper still attached to slides with a simple meeting excellent, but very thin, lightly textured white plastic body is a bit' creaky and cheap. (. Note: Soft black model is also available) We found a little 'uncomfortable to hold against our palms, because, in reality, but a pinch of the fingers is risky, too - like the egg, Veer is relatively easy to fall, and we do not believe Humpty favorably by many falls. At the same time, we are not worried about the screen - is covered by a nice big piece of curved glass, gorilla, and it takes a substantial, heavy, press your thumb and index finger to make any type of liquid crystal under the ' influence. This is a small speaker on top, and the area of ​​the gesture of Palm (with LED indicator strip) on the bottom.

Circling on the phone with the clock, you will find the volume switch and power button flanking the upper right - both solid, metallic, and easy to find and activated by touch alone, and three-quarters of the height of the right border, there are exclusive Palm magnetic charge / sync port. This requires a special USB cable to use, unfortunately, even if you get the MagSafe fantasy, and the port does double duty as host of the headset adapter included - because there is no dedicated jack 3, 5 mm for headphones. It is a task a little easier to transport nicknack lost as an adapter, but it works here, and the magnets are strong enough to hold your cables Veer helmet (not that we recommend something like that).

It is also a bit annoying as the software will pause the music when you connect or disconnect the AC because it seems totally arbitrary - when you connect the phone quickly transfer the speakers of headphones, then end the melody three seconds later. There is nothing in the bottom of the phone, but it is a well-built volume control on the left side of silver, a loop of string in the upper left corner, and a five megapixel camera and speaker EDOF back.
