In an earlier post I talked about my iPAQ hx4705, a Microsoft Windows Mobile device, that I really like. It is a great device and is defiantly a head of it’s time. But with them saying they are getting out of the PDA business, and working with converged (PDA and phone) devices only. I am calling it quits with HP, with this latest snafu, they finally post on the Windows Mobile 5 upgrade page that the CD is ready for order, but do not have it listed on the actual order page. So now I’m looking at getting a Fujitsu/Siemens Loox device next for a PDA, and probably a iMate for a phone.
Here is my contribution/and venting to a post on the subject.
“And to think I was going to upgrade the memory, and the 4700 had such potential. Stick a fork in me I’m done with HP, I’ve been waiting and waiting for the upgrade and now this. Those monkeys banging on typewriters didn’t exactly duplicate Shakespeare, but looks like we know where they ended up. As with the rest of you I’m looking forward to the new Loox too, not quite ready for a converged device as my PDA, I had been wanting to get one [Loox] anyway.
Hey HP if you listening, and can hear of the monkeys and typewriters, get a clue!”
I miss the good old days of Compaq when the iPAQ name still meant something. Thank you all for listening to my ranting and taking the time to allow me to vent.
