(More customer reviews)Besides all the obvious ways in which the Compaq iPaq 3765 is a more robust electronic organizer than any version of the Palm, there are two features or characteristics of the iPaq 3765 that deserve special mention.The first is the fact that the iPaq 3765 is a full-featured eBook, running Microsoft Reader with ClearType display technology.Now, perhaps that doesn't make you trip over your keyboard as you scramble to order one, but consider: You now have a full dictionary in your PDA.You also have an English to Spanish dictionary in your PDA.Or French to English.Or whatever you need.You also have Jack Welch's new best seller to peruse on your next flight, or while you're waiting at the doctor's office.You have the full operations manual for your iPaq right there on the iPaq itself!How many times have you actually had the manual for a device readily available at the moment you actually needed the damn thing?The fact that the iPaq 3765 is an easy-to-read eBook (with adjustable font sizes, book marking and other features) is a remarkable increase in usefulness over the conventional Palm OS PDA.
But the real advantage of the Compaq iPaq 3765 is the fact that its screen is a marvel of both clarity (hence an actually readable eBook) and touch-sensitivity.One of the most annoying characteristics of Palm PDAs is the insensitivity of the touch screen.You often have to tap the screen multiple times before it responds.And using it for graffiti writing is an enormous pain in the neck for even the relatively adept graffiti user.Your strokes are continuously misinterpreted.All the back spacing to re-stroke letters has caused many a Palm owner to give up on using graffiti as their most common mode of data entry.But with the iPaq 3765 each stroke is recogized instantly, with almost no re-stroking required.No kidding.As long as you're even close to matching the model graffiti stroke, the iPaq accurately recognizes the stroke!You can actually write with the damn thing!And when you tap the screen to select an entry in your contacts list, or choose one tab or the other, or highlight a bit of text, voila... the screen responds instantly and accurately.There are virtually no re-taps, no re-strokes, no mistakes.It's a touch screen made to be touched.
After years of using a Palm, including a color screen Palm IIIC, I feel like I have died and gone to heaven.The Copmpaq iPaq 3765 is head and shoulders better than the Palm OS offerings because it is a far more robust PDA, with marvelous eBook capabilities and an order of magnitude better screen in terms of clarity and the all important touch sensitivity.
