    Talking PDA Advice

    Hi guys, im thinking about getting a PDA for a variety of uses and was considering the HP ipaq 2210. Does anyone know with what quality this model plays video, movies, clips etc. And does anyone know where to buy a CF wifi card?

    Thanks

    Yeh my Ipaq does do everything really. Has the best of, well, all worlds of communication methods once you add a CF Wifi card as it has inbuilt bluetooth and InfraRed. It also has an SD card slot.

    You can convert things like DVDs to a small format for playing on the Ipaq, and these usually fit on a 128MB SD card.

    Music is good quality considering it's limitations, and has more than enough ability to stream MP3s or even uncompressed WAVs over the network.
    I've had Simpsons episodes streaming to it as well.

    CF Wifi card-wise, I have the Ebuyer value one and it hasn't let me down yet. Works perfectly

    I love this PDA. Does everything. Has more than enough connectivity and expansion slot options, and is powerful enough for anyone

    Thanks for your reply, i think i might have to get one.

    Cheapest i've found is £208.99 from pcworld.co.uk, which i dont think is a bad price at all.

    It's a very good price, still room for it to drop below £200 as it's discontinued.

    It does video brilliantly. However download betaplayer as it allows you to use divx. Its great. Also look out fot the cheap 1gb SD cards on aria.
    Not around too often!

    I recently tried video on my Palm Tungsten E using the bundled Kinoma player but it turned out damn crap really . I thought it might be quite good considereing the 320x320 screen althouh I suppose the cpu is lacking. I think it worked out at around 5MB a minute or something.
