One of cow orkers bought a HP pocket PC off of Ebay, and he's got me thinking I should trade in my Visor for one. But I'm not trading unless I can get some features I'm lacking in my Visor...
BTW, a search for pocket pc and pocketpc didn't answer any of these, so don't suggest that)
Does a WIRED (wireless is NOT an option, I'm not hooking up a wireless to wired bridge on my network due to the cost) ethernet adapter exist for them?
What's the average battery life? I understnad its ~6-8 hrs, I assume it decreases if you play a movie, mp3s, etc, am I right?
Does WinCE offer any advantages over PocketPC, other then cost?
Which model do you reccomend? Not looking to spend more then about $300, maybe a up to $400. I've seen some HP Jornada's for around that price. CF type 2 slot is also required.
Is it worth the extra cost to get a version with 64mb of internal memory? Programs can't be installed to the CF cards and then only be available when they're inserted, can they?
I don't know how many movies I'll be playing on it, especially if the ibm microdrives don't drop in price. Is the black and white screen really black and white, or is more like the screen on a Visor? Whats the battery life difference on the two? Do most pocket pc's have provisions to be charged other then via the USB dock?
Finally, point me at some good pocket pc sites with reviews and such. I'd like to do some reading on them.
Thanks guys!
BTW (and no "keep the visor" comments. I just want info on the pocketpc's now
)
