Pandigital PANSCN08 Handheld Wand Scanner

This scanner is so nice and convenient to just have in my bag when I go to the library and want to scan articles in magazines or pages in books that cannot be checked out; in other words reference-only material. It does a pretty good job at scanning to jpeg or pdf but here are somewhat negative things to consider along with recommendations for dealing with them:

1. You cannot see the immediate results of your scan so you always wonder if you got all the stuff on the page you were trying to get. Yes it does have some little guide marks to help you but sometimes a page will crease a little creating a shadow effect on the scan. This is especially possible on very thin magazine paper. My recommendation is you always take at least two scans of pages. The other idea I haven't tried yet is to find a piece of clear plexiglass at a building material store to carry along and place over the pages which helps to make them flat and the scanner will roll more nicely also.

2. The battery is a non-standard rechargeable battery called a CNP-50. If you leave it in the scanner it will slowly drain even when the scanner is off. I remove it after it use and put it in the nice bag they include. You might want to find a spare battery here at Amazon or someplace else to charge and carry along also. By the way; someone else makes a competitor scanner like this that uses easy to find standard batteries; either AA or AAA size.

I got the handheld Pandigital scanner for Christmas last year and it looked great and worked well for the first few tries. It was quite effective until suddenly the scanner put up an error E05 message and would not scan again. I tried all kinds of things to get it to work, but nothing got it to scan. So I contacted their customer service line. I have not gotten any response from them. The service is too unreliable. And the product is broken. QVC sold thousands of them through their homeshopping network and you can go there to see the hundreds of negative reviews. These ones here may not be altogether trustworthy since Amazon doesn't have a clear history of selling these yet.

Buyer beware definitely with this company.

Collecting data and articles from the library with this thing has been great! The library charges a lot per copy when you have to copy books that can't leave the library and I've complained about this forever. My mom got me this scanner and its perfect. Saves me a lot of time and I can print the pages at home for way cheaper. And, I have pdf files saved so that I can reprint if necessary. Its been pretty nice. I have scanned with it, and yes it wasn't the most amazing quality, it worked and I have no complaints.

Great price on Amazon for this handy little scanner. Is easy to calibrate, just remember to push the tiny little sd card in until it clicks, otherwise it will not copy photo. Great with photos and for scanning pages. Can easily be taken with you if you wanted to scan photos when visiting friends/relatives or copying articles at the library, etc.

Not suited for scanning photographs at all. When rolling over the photo, it will bend the photograph's edges with its wheel. The scanned image is of very bad quality you lose all of the finer pixel detail. Apart from a poor quality image, the scanner leaves roll marks on the image.

Scanning documents the image turns out fuzzy, like a photograph taken of a document and not like a scanned copy of the document.

Also, I found it difficult to roll the scanner steady over the document without either accidentally folding the document or moving it. Even when it is held steady, it's not guaranteed that the image will come out exactly in the same proportions as the original. For example, with some photographs, one part of the photo was slightly larger, such as one eye on a photo.

Another major flaw is that it is hard to tell when the image is done. Once you press the scan key, when you are done it should increase the number of images on its display, but it sometimes does not, so I had to rescan the image and turned out that it appeared twice.

I would give it the smallest possible rating on amazon

DYMO Label Manager LM260P label Printer, Black /Gray (1754490)

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program

I have been using a label machine since we opened our store three years ago. My label machine of choice back then was the Brother PT-1950 P-touch PC-Ready Labeler for Small Workgroups.

I was grateful to check out the Dymo Label Machine because there were some serious problems with my older machine. Here are the features I really like in the Dymo.

1) Rechargeable batteries included. No need to worry about the batteries, just plug in and keep charged, then when you are ready to go, grab the label machine and take it with you.

2) "Short" ends on the labels. The Brother left over an inch on either side of the labels, and wasted about 50% of the labels I made. Given the cost of the labels, this is a feature that is truly helpful.

3) The ability to easily save the label for re-use later.

4) The "sizing" feature on the Dymo. It is possible to designate a length of label, then ask the Dymo to print the label to that size. This is particularly nice for putting labels on Items I have canned.

5) The "fancy" outline capability on the labels (again, a nice feature for canned goods I enter in the fair). Nice counts.

6) The easy capability of making 2-line labels.

7) The ability to add symbols (Like $ % @) makes it very functional for a store or business.

8) The labels do come in clear, making the mirror image feature (a nice addition) practical for putting the label on the inside of a window or other glass and have it come through in the correct directions.

A couple of areas that disappointed me small, but I wanted to point them out.

A) You cannot use the Dymo Label Manager while it is plugged in. The adapter it uses is intended ONLY for charging the label machine. So you really DO need to keep those batteries charged for when you are using it.

B) It will take me awhile to get used to the Alphabetic keyboard ...

C) The Brother PT had an "automatic cut" feature, this one must be manually cut by pushing the button hard enough to clip through the label.

* Note the video is a bit blurry, but I wanted to post it anyway so that you could see some of the features. It's a VERY handy machine!

I've used this labelmaker for several weeks now and LOVE it, with one caveat: it's not qwerty.

It holds well in my hand, being neither too heavy nor too light. It runs on either batteries (Li-Ion replaceable battery) or AC power, and the battery recharges quickly. It uses the same DYMO label cassettes that other DYMO products use and the cassette is clearly labeled with color and size.

I can change the font (three choices) or the size of the font. I can print multiples of the same label. I can save the label to use later. The label can have multiple lines of print. I can italicize, bold, underline, put letters in a box. The labels are clean and crisp.

In short, it's a pretty amazing labelmaker! For me, though, it's supertough to find letters on the "keyboard" when it's it's in alphabetical order with an arbitrary seven letters on each line. I'm having a lot of trouble adjusting to that. Because of that one small thing, making a label is a bit time-consuming, and it seriously detracts from my enjoyment of this labelmaker.

Buy DYMO Label Manager LM260P label Printer, Black /Gray (1754490) Now

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I've never used a Dymo label maker before. So I gave the 260p a shot when it showed up on Vine.

Right off the bat, the 260P fits well in my palm, my right thumb resting naturally on the label cutting button. I'm left-handed, so it suits me fine to hold in the off-hand. For righties who also want to hold it off-handed, it's a tough more awkward to reach that cutter button. I use my middle finger. It isn't heavy at all, and both the label cassette and the battery compartment are easily accessible on the bottom, complete with studs so you can set it safely on a tabletop.

For all the buttons, it takes less than five minutes to figure it out. The format key has everything you need to set up the label, including a choice of a san serif, bold serif, and light serif font. All of the glyphs are accessed by their own key bindings. Numbers and letters have their own keys, accented characters are selected simply by activating the accent mode, and two-line typing is a simple as hitting "Return". Almost every option is just two key presses away, plus the directional pad to scroll through any lists. The commands are consistent, with dedicated "cancel" and "OK" buttons.

It offers plenty of sensible options. The memory accommodates up to nine labels, including all formatting. The unit itself is full of clip art and symbols and borders. You can print multiple copies, and there is a backwards text option in the format menu for putting transparent labels in windows or glass, or to reflect in mirrors.

A few problems. There is no "Shift" key. Just a "Caps" that you have to toggle back and forth. The keyboard is not Qwerty layout. I find the keys to be pretty stiff, and it can be easy not to register if you aren't paying attention. The up arrow of the D-pad seemed particularly numb to me.

Battery powered only, it's a portable option for running around the garage or bake sale. My complaint here is the same as other reviewers--the AC power adaptor cable only recharges the battery and does not provide power to the unit itself. The power pack itself is unique to the unit, loading a pair of not-very-common 14430 lithium ion cells inside, so once it goes bad you can't just pop over to your local store. The unit itself runs on 7.4 volts, so a future design couldn't just load up a couple of double AAs in its place; CR123s or a 9-volt battery might be good options. Of course, the unit itself might not last much longer than its current battery--we'll just have to see.

The unit uses standard Dymo label cassettes. It's not terribly noisy when it prints, though occasionally the glyphs don't always print completely. The text is also a bit pixilated, especially on curves and with the serif fonts, but the labels are very readable at 24 points from across the room, and they haven't picked up a lot of glare. I appreciate that the device leaves only about a half-inch margin of label on either side of the text, but I think it could do one better and trim it down to a quarter. I'm also unsure as to how long the labels will last before they peel away or fade.

All in all, it's been a handy little device so far. I haven't owned it long enough to call it reliable, but based on its features, it's recommended.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program This label printer works well, and is a great deal for the price.

There are a few issues that bother me though.

1) The keyboard is laid out A-Z instead of in a normal QWERTY layout. This makes it difficult to type quickly. It works, and you are not typing a novel on it, but it does take some getting used to.

2) The rechargeable batteries. Both a good idea and a bad one. I love that I'm not constantly spending money on AA batteries. However, the charging cable looks like 5 others I have around the house for various gadgets. It would be nice if they used normal AAs, and I could buy my own rechargable batteries.

3) The replacement tape is pricey, but so are Brother label tapes.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program Label makers have sure come a long way from the ones I remember years ago. I had a great time playing around with this and learning how to use it. I just took a quick glance at the manual that it came with and had no trouble at all figuring out all the features. What I liked the most were the fun borders you can put around your labels, such as making the label into a text bubble, a little scroll like an official announcement, a border with a flower on each side, etc. There is lots of clip art you can add to the labels too, which make them a lot of fun. There are all different shapes hearts, thumbs up and down, flowers, you name it and it's probably there. It was very easy to change the font style and size, and very easy to add numbers and punctuation. One feature I really love is that you can save your labels in case you want to print the same one over again. There is a little cutting blade on the side of the label maker and all you have to do is push the button and it's cut. The only problem I had is the layout of the keyboard it's not like our cellphones are, but in the order of the alphabet. I had a terrible time typing even the simplest words! That's really minor though, compared to everything else. The size of the unit is nice too. It fits nicely in one hand and will be very easy to store in a drawer.

The labels themselves are really nice and sturdy (I'm not sure what material they are, but kind of a light plastic) and very easy to remove from the backing. The label maker comes with a 10 foot starter cassette, which was super easy to install. I checked and Amazon has several varieties of labels for this machine and the price is very reasonable.

If you need a label maker, I would look no further than this. I think it would be perfect for either the home or the office.

Polaroid CZA-20011B PoGo Instant Mobile Printer (Black)

I purchased the Polaroid PoGo today and have done a fair bit of "playing" with this compact little printer over the past couple of hours. In fact, I have already used the first package of 10 sheets of Zink (Zero Ink) paper that come with the printer. So my first recommendation is; if you are planning on buying a PoGo, I highly recommend getting extra paper so you can get through your "testing" phase without having to purchase more paper. However, don't go crazy and buy too much, there are expiration dates on the paper which may affect your picture quality if you take to long to "expose" (print) them.

Connectivity:

I have tested the Bluetooth capabilities with my Motorola Q, Laptop Computer (Bluetooth enabled), my desk-top Windows Vista computer (with Radio Shack "Bluespoon" Bluetooth 2.0 adaptor added) and my PictBridge capable Canon Powershot A 640 camera (directly connected to PoGo via USB cable) and the printer worked like a charm in all of the above tests!

Speed of Printing:

Print time is about 1 minute per photo. There was no noticeable change in print speed with any of the tests I performed. Using the Bluetooth (wireless) connection or plugging in your USB cable directly from your camera did not seem to make any difference as to how fast the image printed.

Image Quality:

Not great...but not the worst I have seen either...The pictures I printed from my camera (via USB connection) looked better than my pictures from my cell phone, but this was likely due to the higher megapixel image created by my camera versus the 1 megapixel image from my cell phone. However, the "white balance" of both my camera and cell phone images were a little "off". The whites were extremely white (almost washed-out) and the dark (shadow areas) were very dark. So if you stay away from printing bright "beach / snow" images or dark "night" photographs you will be OK. Photos with lots of color (flowers, for example) looked pretty good when printed with the PoGo.

Cool things to do:

The adhesive on the back of the photo paper is a nice feature of this product. This makes it possible to add pictures to your hand written journals. You can stick them to business card magnets and put photos all over your refrigerator. You can make photo luggage tags, cards and much, much more.

If you don't need the highest quality image, but want to do some fun, creative stuff with photographs I would definitely recommend the PoGo. If you are a photographer hoping that the PoGo would give you a quick "proof" of what your printed images will look like, then this printer is probably not for you, since the image quality is not as good as you could get with some standard ink jet printers.

Have fun...

This is a fun little printer mainly for on-the-spot prints. Kids especially like getting prints instantly. The Bluetooth connection works well, as does PictBridge via USB cable directly to camera. The unit is small enough to fit in a jacket pocket you can take a picture of someone with your cell phone camera, send it to the printer wirelessly, and then magically hand them a print a few minutes later.

Now for the rough spots. While I really enjoy this printer, you should probably be aware of some hassles you may encounter (as I did). The battery life is not super-great it's rated at 15 pictures, but if it's cold outside you may find the battery dead until you warm the unit up again. The metal case doesn't help matters in this regard. You can bring the charger with you, but be aware that the charger is about as big as the unit itself a minor annoyance.

Picture quality there's a reason the prints are so small. The quality is somewhat marginal, but usable. Most people are impressed that the thing exists in the first place and don't scrutinize the prints that much, so the quality is generally good enough. I attended a wedding and started printing lots of prints for an on-the-spot scrapbook. The printer started streaking badly on the prints. There is a cleaning process you can run, but it became quite a time-consuming hassle. Not to mention the waste each time a print was unusable.

I still give it four stars because it's a fun product and usually works well. The Bluetooth connection is a great feature for cell phone pics. Just be aware that you may have some occasional hassles.

Update: I've discovered that I get consistently very good looking results by keeping the special blue cleaning/calibrating sheet that comes with each pack. I run the sheet through before using the printer each day (if it hasn't been used that day), and also after every three prints. The colors come out nice and rich, and no streaks!

I used to take my old Polaroid on every trip and give people a picture of themselves and while they were admiring it would snap another picture--they were always smiling in that second picture. Now I can do it again. I have only printed a few samples but am very happy with the quality (printed from my Canon SD900) and time to print. My only negative comment is that the charger is large and heavy. I am hoping I can find an extra battery as sometimes it is hard to find electricity for charging when traveling. I definitely recommend this product.

The new PoGo mobil printer from Polaroid is a very nifty little gadget. While not a high end printer, this will serve the BBQ, sports, school, birthday party, college campus circles just fine. I also see vast almost unlimited potential for artists. Being an artist myself and a lover of traditional Polaroid film this new portable printer is a new step in the right direction for Polaroid. With no ink to speak of this ZINK, (zero ink) printer removes a very pricey aspect of home based printing. I found a pack of 30 prints for a mere $10 at Best Buy today. I was also the only one waiting to get one of these when the doors opened.

I already see that a digital camera/POGO printer is in the works. taking pictures with this thing is actually all that is lacking. The print size is small but i am sure Polaroid is just testing the waters. With their old technology cameras and film on the way out, it is nice to see a new, simple, clean technology replacing the old before it has even left the shelves. I do love traditional Polaroid film and hope they find a way to keep it around, even if only in a limited/artsy capacity.

The quality on these small prints is decent. Nothing spectacular though. Decent enough for casual prints. Nothing more.

Thoughts for future models:

* Larger Paper Models

* Built in Camera with a macro lens

* Cool Polaroid Special Effects (BW, Old film, Sepia, negative, borders, Etc.)

* Miniature Spy version

* I'm sure I will think of more after a few days.

So that is the skinny so far. great little product with room to grow.

I bought the Polaroid Pogo Instant Mobile Printer a short time ago. I am a techno savvy, 'Gadgety' person and love to try new gadgets. The day I got it I sat down at my desk and read all the manuals and guides that came with it completely before even charging the battery. Then I minutely examined the entire contents of the package. I was surprised to find a tiny screw wedged in the internal paper path of the printer. It was no problem to dislodge and remove. I again inspected the printer carefully, unable to find where the screw might have come from. (must have been dropped inside during manufacture) Having satisfied my curiosity and assured myself that things were good to go, I plugged it in and charged it up, rereading the manual while waiting for it to finish charging. I took some pics with my LG VX9900 enV cell phone and located some pics on my Canon SD 1100is camera that I wanted to print. When everything was good to go, I proceeded to print my pics from the camera and the phone. The printer worked flawlessly with both devices. I truly believe that anything will work if you 'read and follow instructions'. Loading the film media couldn't have been easier. Getting the printer to pair with my cell phone via bluetooth was simple. Using Pictbridge with my camera was easy. And, most important of all to me, it was loads of fun to use! Before I bought this little printer, I researched the compatibility with my various devices, so compatibility was never an issue. As far as the strikes that other reviewers have given this printer all I can say is that this is a GADGET. It was never meant to compete with a full size printer. Sure the print quality is only adequate rather than superb. Sure the prints are tiny. Sure the media/paper is expensive in comparison to the cost per print of 35mm developed photos. But! You don't have the portable convenience using either of those other options. Yes, the transformer for charging this printer is huge in comparison to the size of the device. Yes the battery life leaves much to be desired. But what do you expect from a gadget/toy? I for one am very pleased with the performance of the Pogo. It is no more and no less than what I expected. And when I take it out with me to print pics on the fly, the 'Ooh and Ah' factor is quite gratifying, to say the least. In conclusion, all I can say is to review your own expectations before you commit to buy any kind of tech gadget, do your research and then make an informed buying decision.

VisionTek CANDYBOARD Bluetooth Wireless Mini Keyboard with Touchpad (900335)

As of right now im using my candy board to write this, im using mac os 10 (snow leopard) it was easy to set up right out of the box, as far as size its about as thick as an iphone or droid, it was easy to set up, a little weird to get used to, but it has just about every button a standard keyboard has with the exception of a right shift button. it responds well, and the built in touch pad is great, but as its small it does take a few swipes to get all the way across the screen. ive yet to try this with my xbox, but from what ive read its not too hard to configure. as far as practicality i think this is best used for home theater set ups or utilizing a tv or large monitor from a distance, i really got this as an experiment to see what i can do with it as far as coding and design accompanying my tablet so i dont have to reach awkwardly to my built in key board, and so far so good. anyways i wouldnt recommend this as just a replacement to purchasing a full keyboard other than with a media set up.

I must say this is my first purchase of this type for a media center PC I have in my living room, and I am extremely disappointed. I'll break it down below:

PROS:

*Great battery life, don't have to charge it for weeks on end, with moderate daily use.

*Backlit keyboard is a nice touch although I don't use it that frequently

*Size--blends nicely with my other remotes on my coffee table.

CONS:

*Horrendous range, 6 feet if you're lucky. And that's assuming no obstacles. From the couch to the USB receiver, it's about 5 feet in my living room, and even still I have trouble with it. I'm thankful for front USB ports! If I had to plug it in the back, it probably wouldn't work at all.

*After a short time, the keyboard enters "sleep" mode to conserve battery. To bring it back, you have to press a key at least 5 itmes before it will wake. Very annoying.

*Some of the keys will "stick", although not physically. Maybe just a software issue with the driver (Windows 7), I don't know, but it REALLY makes it a pain when trying to wake it up from "sleep" as mentioned before. Occasionally during typing or scrolling, the key will "stick" and leave you with a bunch of repeated keystrokes.

*If you've done extensive research on this as I have, you'll find there are TONS of different brands of these keyboards out there that are exactly this same one. Some have varying ratings. Maybe one of the others is good, but the VisionTek is total crap, and the fact that there are tons of this exact same looking model will keep me from getting any other ones just like it.

Please, save your money and do your research. I'm looking into Lenovo's offering, the N9501. Has great reviews compared to others.

I have had problems with this device ever since I got it. Mostly, the keyboard has allot of trouble synching with the USB transmitter. This happens almost every time I turn on the device or when it comes out of sleep mode (which is often if I'm just watching a video). It happens at any distance and from any USB port on my computer. It happens on a fully charged device.

When it works it's great. But I have to do some much fiddling around to get it to work it's just not worth it. I have submitted a report to Visiontek support but expect to return the device.

Belkin G700 Keyboard for Toshiba e330/e335/e740 - Black

If you want to maximize your efficiency without lugging around a laptop or a worse, an actual paper tablet, I recommend a Toshiba Pocket PC and keyboard accessory. It attatches very easily and can be used as a full size keyboard to enter information in programs like Microsoft Word and Excell, and is about the same size as your PDA when it is compacted.

I got this for my husband because we recently purchased a pocket pc and he wasn't using it to it's full capabilities. He was tired of fumbling with the little on screen keyboard and was becoming discouraged. This did the trick! He now uses this in place of his laptop and really has turned into a pocket pc promoter. Everyone in his office wants one now. This is a must have in my opinion.

Buy Belkin G700 Keyboard for Toshiba e330/e335/e740 - Black Now

At first, I really want to get an universal IR keyboard, I dont' want to spend anymore money on PDA components everytime I buy a new PDA. But, the problem of IR keyboard is, it drains more battery, and it has trouble communicating with the E700s/300s series Toshiba Pocet PCs (since its IR port is on teh side of the unit). The best part of the this Belkin G700 keyboard is it allows you to charge your pocket pc while you use the keyboard. This feature really maximize the performance of my E740, since I can use wi-fi, icq, check email, listening to MP3s at the sametime when I type, and I don't have to worry about battery life. But the G700 IS NOT a full sized keyboard, so there will be some get used to. Personally I like the keyboard made by ThinkOutside Inc, a former Palm company and they make special keyboards for all Palm pilot models. Their keyboard is not full size, BUT laptop size keyboard. Also the G700 looks a bit flimsy, it uses few sets of springs to push the two sides of the keyboard out, and close. But you don't have any choice, since this is the only special designed keyboard for the TOshiba e700s/300s series PPC. Overall, this is a good add-on for your toshiba PPC, but you need some get-used to.

HandHelditems Asus Eee Pad Transformer TF101 Anti-Fingerprint, Anti-Glare, Matte Finishing Screen P

I recently purchased an ASUS Tranformer, and I know that it does not require screen protection. The gorilla glass works well for that but it does smug a great deal and the glare when reading was pretty bad. So I thought I'd try one of these. Wow, what a difference.

My package came not with just one, but three protetctors. There were no instructions, so I was afraid I might have to use more than one. Fortunately I was able to apply the first one with little a little effort. This is dry fit application and is precisely cut to fit the screen, so you must align it tight to the edge.

Of course pre-cleaning the screen is a must. Remember to keep a piece of tape handy. If you find piece of lint or dust under the protector, as you are applying, just lift it back a little and use the tape to grab it off.

As I said this works great and your eyes will thank you when you read a book our when you do marathon of Angry Birds.............oh, and the bonus stylus is great too.

I received screen protector from Handheld today evening. I think it should be the best one for the price. It is antiglare, antifingerprint and fits well on camera lens. The touch functionality is NOT at all compromised. The product was received in excellent condition. I will say that it needs sensitivity while installing but that is true with all screen protectors. You must clean your ASUS-TF screen of all the dirt and smudge and install the protector in a dirt free area. Any dust particle will give a bubble. This is nothing to do with screen protector but with faulty technique. I will definitely recommend this product. There was a stylus included with the package.

Update after 15 days of use

Screen protector is working very fine. No loss of texture and no loose stuff. Antiglare is excellent and I can read in the brightest sun by increasing just a little of brigtness. Great product for great price!

My purchase came on time and it fit my tablet perfectly but, because of the poor packaging, none of that matters. It arrived in a bubble wrapped envelope which wouldn't have been a problem if there was something stiff inside the packaging to keep it from bending. When i unwrapped the product i found multiple creases which made it impossible to apply without a million air bubbles. After fussing with it for 20 minutes i decided to cut my losses, rip off the screen protector, and throw it away. What a waste of money. Very disappointed.

The HandHelditems(TM) Asus Eee Pad Transformer TF101 Anti-Fingerprint, Anti-Glare, Matte Finishing Screen Protector (Free HandHelditems Sketch Universal Stylus Pen) is terrible. Air bubbles cannot be removed, despite closely following the instructions. Even if you get the item onto your Eee Pad,it severily changes the picture. Don't waste your money, instead get a nice microfiber cloth with non-alcohol cleaner. Be particularly reluctant to buy from this seller. The only post-sale option given to me was a replacement (worthless) but no money back because it was opened. Amazon should remove this company from their sellers. I have been disappointed with few items purchased on Amazon, but this was a piece of cr*p.

Hewlett Packard Jornada 568 Pocket PC

The original HP Jornada Pocket PC's were easily outclassed by Compaq and Casio's models, but HP's engineers have redeemed themselvesand surpassed the competitionwith the new Pocket PC 2002 versions: the Jornada 565 and 568. (The only difference between the two is RAM, with the 568 having 64Mb to the 565's 32Mb.)

These new models have the superior display and speed of the competitors products, but easily top the Compaq with built-in CF card expansion and replaceable, rechargable batteries that have longer life spans than the iPAQ. The included flip-up cover is also a plus and makes the Jornada the lightest weight and slimmest Pocket PC available with both screen protection and CF expansion built-in.

HP also thoughtfully provided a way for users to store up to 8Mb of data or programs in the secure FlashROM, assuring the security of vital material.

Besides the Microsoft Pocket PC software suite, HP's bundled software includes Code Wallet Pro and the versitile OmniSolve calculator as well as HP's own image viewer. This viewer is the best I've tried on any Pocket PC. My favorite bundled program though has to be Mobile Conversay. This easy-to-use program allows you to talk to your Jornada and receive spoken responses. Mobile Conversay will read your calendar to you, tell you the date and time, check your battery life, start and stop programs and more.

The Jornada 565/568 are easily the top of the new crop of Pocket PC's.

Although the new iPaqs are sure to generate a lot of hype, HP is hoping they can gather a much larger share of the Pocket PC market with the new Jornada 560 family.

Size:

The Jornada 560 is about the same size as the 540 and 520, slightly less wide but the same height. The BIG change is in the weight my old Jornada 548 weighed 9.1 ounces, and the 565/567 weighs 3 ounces less at 6.1 ounces. It doesn't sound like much, but this device doesn't try to pull my Dockers down like the old one did! The difference in size is obviously due to the new 3.5" display, which seems to make the screen a bit sharper than its larger competitor, the iPaq.

I love the screen cover on the Jornada 560 series you don't need to have a separate carrying case for the device! With my iPaq, I needed a carrying case to protect the screen. With the Jornada, I can close the cover and jam it into my pocket without worrying about scratching the display. HP devices always feel like they're well built, and the Jornada 560 is no exception.

The Jornada feels very good in the hand. I like the rubberized sides of the device, as I feel like I always have a good grip on it. When I was taking my iPaq with me to work every day on the light rail, I was always feeling like I was going to have it slip out of my hand onto the floor. It was also wider and wasn't as easy to hold. With the CF sleeve on it (hey, I always have to have my eBooks and music!) the iPaq was also much thicker and heavier.

Functionality:

The 560 series uses a new display that's smaller than that used in the previous generation of Pocket PCs, measuring up at 3.5 inches diagonally instead of 3.8 inches. This reflective TFT display is also much clearer and well defined due to a .216 dot pitch the older displays had a .24 dot pitch. With Microsoft ClearType and the Jornada display, everything's easy to read. Outside, this display is even sharper than the iPaq's.

I've gone for many days using the device with backlight a lot, and still have had battery power to spare. The 560 has a replaceable lithium polymer battery pack, so you can have several charged packs on hand. There's a backup battery stored in a tiny slot on the side of the device, so if your battery DOES happen to croak, you won't lose all your data.

HP will soon be shipping an extended life battery pack that will be a bit thicker, but doubles the estimated battery life to 28 hours! In January of 2002, HP should ship a battery pack with a built-in MMC memory slot. This means that you could pop an MMC card into the battery pack to store data and still have a wide-open CF slot.

There's one nice feature in the 560 called "HP Safe Store". It's an 8 MB ROM area that allows users to install applications, store documents and make emergency backups of their data. If the battery dies and the Jornada RAM is erased, this data remains intact! I've installed critical apps into this area, saving my system memory and CF card space for more important data.

Expandability:

IPaq users love to point out that HP Jornada Pocket PCs don't support Compact Flash Type II cards only Type I. This limits the Jornada, since you can't use the IBM Microdrive for mass storage, or use some of the 802.11b wireless cards that have hit the market. However, Socket Communications' 802.11b card DOES work in the Type I slot of the Jornada 560 series.

If you're considering an iPaq so you can have extra expandability, don't HP will provide more expansion options soon! In December 2001, you can buy a PC Card Adapter, an extended battery pack with SD/MMC slot and a mini-thumb pocket keyboard. These expansion options will clip into the battery compartment or will use a sleeve (like the iPaq).

Value:

HP provides a lot for the price. The Jornada 568 is very compact, there is a wonderfully clear color display, you have the HP Safe Store ROM, and removable lithium polymer battery packs so I feel that the Jornada 560 series is well worth the cost. I've had people gasp at the price of most Pocket PCs, but when I show them that this device is really a contender to replace a laptop PC they seem to think that it is a bargain.

Conclusion:

My overall feelings about the HP Jornada 560 Series Pocket PC can be summed up as follows:

· It's extremely easy to carry in all situations and very well built

· It has very few flaws, other than the speaker pop that will most likely be fixed with a ROM patch

· The added applications are very useful and even a bit fun!

· The 206 MHz StrongARM CPU, the new Pocket PC 2002 OS, and the sharp reflective TFT display make for a fast and very usable Pocket PC

Ever since my first HP calculator back in the late 1970s, I've had a love affair with HP devices. They are always a little bit pricey, but are very well built. The Jornada 560 series is no exception to this long history, and I think that it'll be able to make some serious inroads to the current domination of the Pocket PC market by the Compaq iPaq. I do wish that HP would lower the price about $100 that would seal the fate of the iPaq. If you don't have any Type II Compact Flash cards and want a fast, expandable, and very pocketable PDA, the Jornada 560 is the way to go.

Buy Hewlett Packard Jornada 568 Pocket PC Now

I bought my HP Jornada 568 on February 1, and waited more than two months in order to write a review not guided by the emotion of having such an wonderful invention the firsts days, but by the funcionality of the device. And I must tell that it is extremely useful.

The display is excellent, as with everything on this pocket PC. It works very fast even when almost every application is open; the design is so slim and light that is a pleasure to carry your Jornada everywhere; I think that is one of the most elegant designs in the market also.

The sound, with headphones, is excellent for music, even when it is obvious that listening through the tiny built-in speaker is not the best way to get the best sound quality.

The navigation through the internet is very good, but you must be aware that the effect in some pages is like if you were passing a magnifying glass over a book's page, because most of the internet pages do not exactly "fit to screen" (this also happens with large Excel files or complex Word documents), but even with that detail that is not inherent to the Jornada but to all Pocket PC's, is very useful and clear, because you can increase the size of the text in the page in order to a comfortable reading.

If you also plan to receive e-mail in your Pocket PC, the new operative system allows to receive HTML direct from the Internet, because it converts it to text format automatically, and that was a mayor flaw of the preceding OS.

The Word and Excel documents can be edited or created with easiness, given the multiple input choices the OS has to offer.

I highly recommend a Compact Flash Card of at least 128MB. This is not only for file storage, but to install the programs of your Jornada within the Storage Card and leting almost all the RAM for the applications preinstalled so you can get your device to run extra fast. The only flaw with this is that if you are using a CompactModem or CompactLAN in order to connect to the Internet, the programs that are installed in the CF card will not be available at the moment of navigation because the expansion slot will be already in use.

If you never had owned a Pocket PC, another recomendation is the Pocket PC Handbook, by Dan Hanttula. It is more than worth the price.

Overall, if you are planning to buy a Pocket PC and are not sure about which one to chose, do not hesitate anymore and pick the HP Jornada 568. You will be more than pleased and surely will write a review from your Pocket PC.

Accesories I own and recomend: Targus Stowaway Keyboard, Targus PDA/Keyboard Combo Case (Leather) (only if you use the keyboard very often), Viking CF card 128MB, Pretec's CompactModem and CompactLan (the Support Service from Pretec is superb) and the Pocket PC Handbook, by Hanttula.

This device will end the iPaq's top spot for Pocket PC's. This is smaller, and feels great in your hand..Nice rubberized grips around the edges. Protective cover makes it a breeze to pop into your shirt pocket or trousers. Removable/swappable battery allows for extended life away from your cradle. I can go on and on. Having owned the ipaq and Palm devices, I can say this is surely the best device on the market HP did it right.

Want Hewlett Packard Jornada 568 Pocket PC Discount?

Being the techno-nerd that I am I purchased a Jornada 568 as soon as they became available in the fall of 2001. I owned a HP Jornada 548 and had no true business justification for the upgrade but my credit card wouldn't stay in my wallet. This being said I am glad that I made the plunge.

There are many positive sides to this unit and the new Pocket PC operating system over its predecessor. First, the screen is far clearer and brighter then previous HP displays. The screen is crisp and easy to read in sunlight. The screen is very comparable to the Ipaq screen. The removable battery pack is a big time bonus. I can purchase a spare or buy an extended pack which has a built in smart media slot. WOW! The top load compact flash slot is once again another advantage over the Ipaq. With the type I compact flash support built in there is no need for ungainly sleeves. Even better, and the reason I went with the HP, is that the Jornada 540 series accessories for the most part work with the 560 series. The keyboard, camera, modem and many other devices work great on the 560 and in many cases the drivers are built into the new unit. As far as the new operating system goes it is fun and some features are a plus but it is not a major upgrade. The build in transcriber is nice and spell check and word count is nice in MS Word but not revolutionary.

On the negative side I would list two things. First HP did not make screen protectors available for this unit which means we have to purchase from a third party vendor. As much as people complained about the 540 series hard plastic protectors I liked them and wish they were available for the 560 series. The screen is smaller so the sheets don't work without trimming. Secondly, the price may not be unreasonable for what you get but it is pushing the envelope. The unit provides most laptop functions with the purchase of keyboard and networking accessories. On the other hand after you purchase everything you could have purchased a very nice laptop for the same price. The price of the unit is enough to make worry a bit about carrying it around.

Overall a great unit that I am pleased with and do not regret purchasing...

LandWare GoType Keyboard for Handspring Visor

I'm a much bigger fan of the Targus folding keyboard. For starters it folds into the size of a handspring. Second of all the Landware version's keys are incredibly small. The one feature benefit of landware is that it's a rigid design so it can be used on your lap while the Targus version is very flexible and needs to be placed on a flat surface to type.

I looked at both keyboards and wasn't as impressed with the Stowaway as much as the Gotype. The Gotype is a better value ($69 vs $99) since it comes with word processing software and a thesaurus, plus fuctions as a second cradle (even includes the USB cable). What suprised me the most was that I can type faster on the Gotype than I can on my PC, even though I have pretty big hands. The other plus is that it is stable and slightly inclined, where the Stowaway sits flat and tends to curl on the ends which causes it to bounce when you really get going. I have also seen/heard of the key caps popping off of the Stowaway, but I am told that in later shipments this was corrected. The only drawback to the Gotype vs. the Stowaway is storage compactness; the Gotype is a bit harder to carry around, though Landware does makes a case that allows you to carry both the Visor and the Gotype together. If you use your Visor the way I do, which is for everything that I can think of, especially extensive note taking, the Gotype is a must. Be prepared to attract some attention the first time you use it in public.

Buy LandWare GoType Keyboard for Handspring Visor Now

I purchased 2 of these when I pre-ordered and thought it would be worth keeping both to share in the office. I was wrong. While the GoType for the Visor is faster to use than the stylus for straight entry, it was difficult to master the keyboard buttons that correspond to the PDA. It is also a little large to carry in a pocket, although a woman may get away with carrying it in her purse/backpack. At that point it loses the immediate practicality in my experience.

I also bought the Targus folding keyboard for a few dollars more when it was introduced, and that would be my Handspring-down choice. The Targus folds neatly into a suit-pocket appropriate size and has a roomy feel when extended for typing. I would say that the Targus is twice the keyboard for 10% more in price. Borrow a GoType to try and then buy a Targus to keep and use. You will definitely prefer the Targus.

I wish Landware had made this keyboard just a bit larger. Despite my compact hands, the keyboard size is in that region where it's OK, but not great. I would rather sacrifice compact portability for greater ease of use. And in any event, this is an item that will be carried in a briefcase and not a pocket. I also would have liked a Home and End key included on the board.

I like the solid feel of the keyboard and its stability. This keyboard can be used on the lap. The key action feels good.

The included software has both a mini-word processor and a Thesaurus. One can import and export documents to and from the word processor. All my existing applications work with the keyboard. The included software makes this board very desirable.

There is no delay between the click of a key and the appearance of the character on the Palm screen. This is the primary reason why I bought the Go keyboard rather than Palm's folding keyboard, which reviewers say has a slight delay. That sort of thing drives me bonkers.

I used to have a Palm Vx with a GoType Pro that proved to be more than excellent for light word processing needs. It almost seems that Landware *improved* the action and performance of the keyboard for the Visor model. Yes, it is small, but it is a *much* more solid product that the Targus/Palm keyboard. I have yet to see one of these actually open, extend, and close properly. I found the keys to be excellent for touch-type and not all that difficult to work with. Add to that the fact that it doubles as a HotSync cradle , that it's $30 cheaper, and you quickly see that it's a better value. It would be interesting to see Landware make a PalmOS unit.

AAXA Technologies P2 Pico Multimedia Handheld Projector

• Sharp SVGA (800x600) resolution
• Bright 33 Lumen LED light source
• 1GB onboard memory + microSD reader
• MP4, MP3, AVI, JPG, WMV decoder; VGA, RGB, iPod, PSP, PDA, DVD input
• Projects up to a 80" image (in low-light conditions)

AAXA's P2 is the best art projector I've used. For that application, it deserves five stars. With the P2 positioned over my desk, I can essentially turn my entire drafting table surface into a computer screen. The P2's 33 lumens are bright enough for a satisfactory image with room lights on. Like any other projector, the image needs to be shaded from sunlight, but the room does not need to be dark.

The P2 is generally marketed for business/PowerPoint presentations. Any shortcomings there are likely due to variable environments, but the projector is terrific in a controlled studio. I've used an inexpensive microphone stand to suspend the P2 over my work table. I wrapped black electrician's tape around the mini-tripod's legs for a secure attachment to the end of the microphone boom. The P2 can be pointed straight down toward a flat table or angled to match the tilt of a slanted drawing board. At 30 inches over the table it projects a bright 15x12 inch image with room lights on. At 66 inches over the surface (the full extent of my stand), the projected image is a clear 30x22 inches with subdued room lighting. The P2 produces a vivid image over six feet in width in a darkened room.

I get the sharpest image from the P2 when I set my laptop PC to 800x600 at 60Hz refresh rate. The auto-detect settings on the PC wanted to use 1024x768 resolution. While that works, the projected image is somewhat blurred. When I first switched to 800x600, my PC wanted to run at 70Hz refresh rate, but the P2 couldn't decode the signal. I had to use the graphics adapter's advanced settings to force a 60Hz refresh rate. The PC graphics adapter can also easily switch to portrait mode or mirror the image so I don't need to reposition the projector.

I prefer the PC as the source because I can easily pan and zoom the image, but my Zune also generates a clear image with the P2. Apparently, Microsoft's Zune software automatically resizes images when they are loaded on the Zune player, making them near perfect for the P2. Unfortunately, the Zune AV cable from AAXA is ridiculously short (12 inches), and so the player has to be suspended from the overhead boom with the projector. That makes it hard to reach the Zune player when I'm sitting at the table.

The P2 reads jpg files from internal memory or a micro SD card, but to get a clear image you need to manually resize picture files to 800x600 pixels or smaller before loading them in the projector. That's a hassle. As noted below, controlling internally stored pictures is also difficult when the projector is overhead.

There are a couple annoyances with the P2 design. Since the P2 projector's IR sensor is on the back edge of the unit next to the VGA connector and pointed at the room's ceiling, the P2's remote doesn't work when the projector is overhead. That's not much of an issue when I control the picture with the PC. Also, the projector's fan makes a hissing noise sort of like an overhead air vent on a jetliner, but I don't notice it when concentrating. The fan noise doesn't interfere with playing music on my audio system while I work.

Compared to traditional art projectors (huge, hot, heavy things that produce dim images by reflection off a paper source) the AAXA P2 is a wonder.

Read Best Reviews of AAXA Technologies P2 Pico Multimedia Handheld Projector Here

My first written review on amazon. I have benefitted so much from the amazon communities reviews that I felt compelled to return the favor. Just got this projector as a early Christmas present. Opened it immediately, hooked it up my standard DVD (component) player and wow. Let me give you a little background about me so you can rate my wow factor. I am a technophobe with little money. So i read and research things to the nth degree but rarely buy anything. I have been researching pico projectors for over 6 months. Our family doesn't watch much tv hence we have a 14" Toshiba non-hdtv as the family tv. I know shame on me but enough of the ridicule, lets move on. We have cable tv but only one show is watched if you know what I mean. With four girls all under 14, its all about the Disney channel. Now back to the P2. Hooked it up, turned off the lights and wow!. Not HDTV by anymeans but not bad compared to my 14" tube Toshiba. Next up was the Wii. Not much expected since its only component out, but 72" sure beats 14" and more wow.

Basically I had finally given in and decided to step up to a larger TV which are all prettmy much HDTV now. As a upgrade from the Toshiba I was researching Projectors, Plasmas and LCD's. I work for a company that makes both LCD's and Plasmas so it was toss-up for me. Didn't care for the glare of the plasma even though I liked the picture so it came down to a Projector or LCD. Missed all the Black friday sales but kept on researching. Found a couple of LCD's but just couldn't pull the trigger if you know what I mean. A little bird in my ear was telling me to wait. I just couldn't settle in my mind paying ~$500-700 for only a 32-40" picture. With pico technology growing I thought I'd wait a little longer. Researched the 3M, aiptek and all the other current pico's. All had little things that I didn't like in addition to poor or just fair picture quality. This fact was leading me back toward LCD's along with the fact that I couldn't justify having to replace $250-$300 bulbs every 2000 hours for regular projectors. Along comes the P2. Well actually the P1 which lead to the P2. I was intrigued by their size and 20,000 hour bulb life. More and more research (online and cr___igslist) and then to my suprise a gift arrives with the giver telling me to open it now to make sure it works correctly. That moment lead me to right now, writting this review. I can say without a doubt YOU WILL BE PLEASED WITH THIS PROJECTOR! It's worth it plain and simple. If you want HDTV then its not for you. If you want to be able to have the portabilty of this type of projector, 14" to 72"+ screen, multiple A/V hook-up options and be able to just about wow everyone that you show it to, then just buy it. This A2 is truly the best of not only both worlds, but multiple worlds. YOU WILL NOT BE DISSAPOINTED.

Want AAXA Technologies P2 Pico Multimedia Handheld Projector Discount?

Here's the dilemma: You're in a some kind of job that frequently subjects you to "death by Power Point". Yeah, I feel for you. Now for some reason, the office projector is (more often than not) out on the road or in the repair shop. Good news, right? So instead of getting a little extra nap time in the "bored" room, the boss decides he wants you to go through all the backlogged crap from 1970 to 2008 and make a detailed report that he will likely glance at for 15 seconds and then ask you why your other work is getting behind.

You'd have been better off listening to Captain Sominex deliver his presentation, but noooo... John from sales needed the projector for a conference 3 states over. Wouldn't it have been great if you could whip a projector out of your pocket so you could kick back and eat a donut while pretending to care what some windbag is mowing over? What about a POCKET PROJECTOR?!

Sounds great, but then the thing arrives and you realize you're about to unleash a new level of pain on top of something that everybody already hates.

The Aaxa P2 is currently the Cadillac of the picos. Seriously... You're not going to find a better one. Even the pocket laser projector is going to be hard pressed trying to match this puppy.

The P2 has a 33 lumen output. On the surface that really sucks, but other Picos are sadly maxed out at around 11 or 12 lumens. Still, a typical projector is going to have 1000 lumens on the low end. 33 lumens looks like a faint stain on the screen by comparison.

The P2 has a native resolution of 800x600. Still not great, but other picos are still using 640x480. On the bright side (bright?), it "simulates" higher resolutions, but the picture gets fuzzier the higher you go.

The P2 comes with a mini tripod for positioning. Sadly it's about as stable as David Hasselhoff at an open bar.

Battery life? About 45 minutes. You can plug it in, but it won't recharge the battery while the projector is in use.

Noise? Yes. The cooling fan makes more noise than you'd expect.

Built in speaker? A sad joke. The fan is louder than the speaker, so make other sound arrangements.

Image quality in a dark room? Fairly decent. Great for an impromptu movie night or gaming.

Ease of use? Getting it to turn on is a little janky. First turn on the power switch, then hold the button to turn on the lamp. Say a prayer, be sure the computer is sending output through the provided VGA cord, and check your connection if the blue screen persists.

Focus? Rather touchy. It's not easy getting it right on that sweet spot, and don't ever expect perfect focus using a resolution higher than 800x600.

The bottom line is this: The person in charge desperately wants to show their latest Power Point. Your new Aaxa P2 is going to be the only available device for the task. It's dreadfully underpowered for the job, a little clumsy to get set up, but it will save the day and afford you a nice little coffee break while the big guy draws circles on the wall with his daughter's cat exerciser in a vain effort to highlight the most relevant aspects of his washed out presentation.

It's a trolls gold.
