I have a customer with a daughter who has cancer. She is in and out of the hospital for treatment, and he would like to get her an IPAQ or AXIM handheld. Since I know next to nothing about these handhelds, I thought I would ask for assistance here. I would like to be able to point him in the right direction for one of these. It would need to be wireless capable with the ability to do web surfing. We had found one on sale from Global equipment which was an IPAQ H1935, but it only had a 203MHz cpu and 64mb of ram. Anyone know of any good deals on these.

Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks,
~wnied~

I don't know anything about them, but you might want to edit your title to be more specific.

What is your budget?

How much is that iPaq 1935?

Do you already have WiFi (wireless router) at your home?

what kind of expansion slots do you need?
if you don't care for CF--it'd get the x3i.

otherwise get an ipaq.

Budget is $300 to $400. I'm looking at getting her Ipaq 1955 with the 300mhz processor, and a wireless setup. I really want to get this done for her, because she's in and out of the hospital with her treatments and if there was ever anyone who deserved a break, its this kid. I just wanted a little help in finding her a setup her parents could afford. The hospital has wireless connection so if she has a wireless setup on the IPAQ, she could get out to the internet while getting her treatments. Laptops are too bulky to take to some of the places she goes, hence why I want to set her up with a nice IPAQ or other Hand Held.

Again, Thanks in advance.:)

P.S. Rossman, the Hp was $199.

I would suggest the newer HP iPaq 2215 for $399.98 - $50 off $300 coupon = $349.98 with FREE 128MB Card by Mail with Purchase of HP iPaq Pocket PC AND any one iPaq Accessory.
