Casio Cassiopeia E-125 Color Pocket PC Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Do you still use one of those old monochromatic dumb terminals at work or at home? Of course not, I didn't think so.Then why would someone want to use a plain Palm Pilot or a Visor, when you can get this little wonder for a (little more)?
I got my Cassiopeia 125 about a month ago and I cannot imagine life without it.I went through 3 Palm Pilots (including the color pilot) but this little gadget is the BEST.It is not a handheld device, this is COMPUTER.No kidding!
You get much more than just a gadget for appointments and phone numbers.You have a windows operating system (there is nothing new to learn, everyone knows windows by now) and you can run such programs as Excel and Word in an incredible color display.You can also add a wireless internet connection in the place of the memory card and access the interent at high speed.With the 125's bright colorful screen, you will feel like surfing on your desktop (Ok, some extra scrolling IS required). You can receive and review all your emails when you synchronize with your computer, or you can go with the wireless connection and work directly from your Cassioppeia, sending and receiving emails.
The 125 comes preloaded with 32 mgbytes of memory but your can upgrade to 1 Gig (yes you read that right) since the Compact flash slot is compatible with the new IBM microdrive.Jornada CANNOT do this, and the Compaq Ipaq needs expensive and bulky add ons to achieve this effect. Think about it, 1 gig of memory can hold almost 20 hours of MP3s.I have been using mine as an MP3 player on the subway, on the way to work, and I love it.Be warned though, you need a Compact flash reader for your computer to tranfer the music on the card.Doing that through the 125's craddle is time consuming.You can also use the flash memory to transfer pictures to your 125 and show them to everyone at work.No more carrying around babypictures or vacation pictures in your wallet.You can now bore your friends with this hi-tech gadget.
The 125 is only slightly bulkier than the Palm III color, but the additional features more than make for it.Hand recognition is 100 better than the Pilot Operating system.The 125 "learns" your handwriting and recognizes the words you write more than once.So after you type "marketing" once, the next time you start typing the word, by the 3rd or 4th letter you have the suggested word appear on your screen, and all you have to do is tap at it to enter it without writing any further.Very handy for names, long common business terms, and other commonly used words.
The battery life is about 6 hours, but (unlike the Compaq Ipaq) you have the option of buying additional battery and taking it with you on long trips.If the battery on you Ipaq runs out, tough luck.
Documentation on this product is not the best.You will have to figure out some features by yourself, like for example how to close all open applications when there are too many of them and the 125 starts slowing down (Setting>sytems>memory>running Programs>stop all).
Other than that, this is a brilliant gadget and I recommend it to anyone interested in a Pocket PC.The Ipaq has a slight advantage in Mhzs, but that's really not that important.Plus the Ipaq is still going through the process of figuring out all the bugs. This is the 3rd or 4th cassiopeia model and all the early problems have been cleared.

HP iPAQ 4150 Pocket PC Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have had this IPAQ for several years now and it has more than served its purpose for me. Just recently however I wanted to add more memory to it and went to Staples to buy a 4 GIG SDHC. When I inserted the card into the unit,it still had the same amount of memory as before. (You can check this by clicking on SETTINGS/System/Memory and then click on STORAGE CARD.) So I called up HP and after they checked their records, they told me that that this unit can only take up to 512MB !! I was then put thru to their parts department and asked if they even made 512MB SD cards anymore. They said no they didn't, but that it could be specially ordered for only $228!! For that amount of money I could easily buy another unit, forget the card. I couldn't believe it. So I researched online and found a user who was using a 4 GIG SD card in his IPAQ 4150 with no problems. I read that since the Windows Mobile 2003 runs with FAT32, there should be no reason why it can't handle SD cards with 2 gig,4 gig, etc., when you need that extra memory. The only difference was that you have to use a NON SDHC card. The HC stands for High capacity which uses a different architecture. So, you have to use the standard 4 GIG SD card without the HC on the label. I ran back to Staples and found a 2 GIG standard SD card from SanDisk (they didn't have the higher 4 GIG on the shelf or I would've bought that one) for only $14.99 plus tax and when I inserted the card in the unit, it showed the increase in memory just fine! I wanted to pass this along so that you don't get discouraged when you need that extra amount of memory and are told that it can't be done. I'm still cringing at the thought of buying only 512 MB of memory for $228! It's unbelievable what people will try to con you into. In any case, this has nothing to do with the unit itself. I am now a very happy camper indeed!
