Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - IPAQ PDA with Navigator
Typical Hp IPAQ quality combines the ease of a Tom-Tom GPS navigation system with full mobile office capabilities. Easy to set-up and use. I upgraded the Mobile Office for Office 2007 interface with ease. Comes with handy window mount and AC and auto charger adapter. Also charges through USB port on computer.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - TomTom poor with support for this device
I purchased this product 2 months ago thinking I could solve most of the critical points I read online but I am still struggling trying to run the French map which I successfully downloaded and installed onto an SD card. I did read that the TomTom application also needs to reside on the SD card because no link can be established between the iPAQ File Store, where it lives, and the SD card. The application cannot be moved nor does it exist anywhere else that I can access to install onto the SD card. So as of now, my French maps are unuseable 1.5 weeks before my trip. TomTom does not answer its "contact us" support screen and ignores this particular device on its webpage. I think that HP owes us a better interface and documentation.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Don't buy this -- it locks up and quits talking. The Garmin 660 is much better in almost all ways. That's what I bought after

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great Device for the Price
The rx5915 is everthing I expected it to be. It's a great, versatile, PDA, and the addition of the Tom Tom software with the built in GPS receiver makes it a outstanding bargain!! Contrary to HP's "corporate line" claim that the 5915 will only work with a 1 GB SD card, you can sucessfully run a 2 GB card, just as long as it's not SDHC. This give you ample storage for vids, pics and MP3s. This is an all-around great little PDA. My only complaint with the unit is that it does have a tendency to "lose" a Wi-Fi signal even when it's at it's strongest. The only way you can successfully reconnect to the network is to do a soft reset and then reconnect. It's an inconvenience, but minor, in my book, as the 5915 boots surprisingly quickly compared to my old iPAQ 5555, and to turn the wireless back on is a "press" of the Wi-Fi icon on the main screen and you're back up and operating in no time. My overall impression of the device is great...I would highly recommend it to anyone wanting a full-bore PDA with GPS capabilities built-in. It also comes with a very nice car mounting system to make it a true GPS system.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Leave the laptop at home!
I travel by motorcycle, so space is at a premium! I'd been bringing my laptop on short trips, but ended up not using it as much as I thought I would. All I really needed was some way of finding hotel locations and phone numbers, plus some way to email or post photos when I had a wifi connection.

Before leaving on a Canadian 2 week adventure last August, we decided a GPS might be helpful. After searching for a month or so, I decided on the RX5915. I'm glad I did!

The iPaq paid for itself the first 2 nights we were on our trip - using Tom Tom to find hotels (and their phone numbers) in small towns, then calling ahead and securing the last hotel room in town!

Sure, any GPS can do that, but they're not small enough to carry around in your purse all the time, and they won't let you access the internet to Priceline a room for the following evening.

The iPaq gives me everything I need, nothing I don't.

The good:
Everything I need in one small package.
Tom Tom Navigation is so easy, even my husband can figure it out!
Large enough to see what's going on, small enough to fit anywhere.
No tiny useless keyboard to take up additional space.
Wireless, USB, and Bluetooth connections.
Accepts SD cards.
Works great as a photo viewer - take the card out of the camera, install in iPaq, and view everything on a larger screen.

The Bad:
GPS takes some time to connect, even after the upgrades (up to 10 minutes occasionally).
GPS kills the battery very quickly.
Tom Tom doesn't offer a way to print out maps or create maps offline.
Doesn't accept HD SD cards.

Blogs | Appliweb Project

Welcome to my new project : Appliweb !

 

With Appliweb, I'll try to create a successfull opensource project, for a subject that I find most important: web development.

By successfull opensource project, I mean:

  - A Project with lots of (other) people involved

  - A Project  that will help people.

  - A Project I will eventually earn money with.

 

For this,

  - I've rent  a shared-server to an ISP: planetwork. A friend of mine (here) recommended them to me.

  - I setup a Joomla project, with blogs and comments and forums

  - I wrote some articles explaining my ideas and how to create them

 

It's the  first project that I didn't start by writing the code ! Others have failed, even if many people still looks into them....

Now the website is ready, I will begin to write some code (in javascript ! eechhhh).

I'm waiting to have something to show before I write about it in my favorite websites !

 

 G.C.
