Windows PDAs have long fought an uphill battle. Users have flocked to the highly functional Palm Connected Organizers and tended to ignore the more powerful, more expensive, and bigger Windows PDAs. The release of the new HP Jornada 545, the first of the new Pocket PC devices to hit the market, may finally turn this around. The Jornada is still a bit bigger, about 5 ounces heavier, and about $100 more expensive than the Palm Vx. But it is sleek, robust, highly functional, and the color screen is beautifully sharp. The "wow" factor is definitely there.The Pocket PC OS is also responsive and well thought out--a big improvement over WinCE. In addition to the suite of powerful pocket applications (Word, Excel, Internet Explorer, PIM, and scheduler), the Jornada can also serve as a digital voice recorder (to capture those spur-of-the-moment thoughts), an MP3 player, Audible content player, and even an e-books reader.
The standard 16 MB of memory is expandable using standard CompactFlash cards. The product ships with a synchronization cradle (which supports USB or conventional serial interfaces), an extra sync cable (so you don't have to take the cradle everywhere), an AC power adapter, and earbuds. A microphone and a small speaker are built in. For MP3 use, we recommend expanding your RAM to 64 MB with a CompactFlash card to provide an hour of near-CD quality music.
Most Windows users should be able to run through the setup Wizard and start using the Jornada and its applications without cracking the manual. Learning to use handwriting recognition, which is integrated into all the applications, requires mastering a few special stylus strokes, but you should be writing smoothly within half an hour. In comparison to Palm's Graffiti system, the Pocket PC system is fully on par.
In our tests, setting up a connection to a desktop PC for synchronization was simple. Within 20 minutes, we had installed the ActiveSync software, hooked up the supplied cradle to the AC adapter and a USB port on our PC, and established a connection. If you have an older PC or laptop, you can also synchronize using a slower serial connection. Synchronization is automatic and file transfer is simple using the Windows Explorer-like interface.
The only real caveat is that Pocket PC works best in a Windows-centric world. At launch, it appears that there is no support for synchronizing with non-Microsoft e-mail and scheduling applications. (With an optional modem or network-interface card, you can send and receive Internet POP mail directly via your ISP.)
The choice between Pocket PC and Palm comes still comes down to tradeoffs. Palms are still lighter, smaller, and cheaper, and they do the basics beautifully. The Jornada 545 is slightly bigger, 5 ounces heavier, $100 more expensive, but vastly more powerful and flexible. The choice all depends on what you expect your PDA to do. --Thomas Mace

Wonderful gizmo.......2003-05-03
Excelente equipo.......2001-07-22
Lo mejor es su capacidad para expandirse de 16MB ram a 32MB y el puesrto de expansion, lastima que es solo un puerto, ya que 2 como la serie 48, seria excelente.
Entre los accesorios he visto hasta una cámara fotografica.
Almost bullet proof!!.......2001-07-12
So much potential, yet..........2001-05-17
The built-in media player does let you listen to mp3's; however, you'll need to invest in a good sized compact flash card to make any use. And even at that, you'll probably need a USB card reader, as the sync cradle (even though it's a USB device) lets you transfer about 1MB a minute. Not the snappiest throughput rate when you're waiting to load an hour's music onto your player. Anyway, the media player also seems to have problems with vbr mp3's encoded thru Musicmatch (cuts them off short and then goes onto the next track) and begins every track with a very audible click. On the plus side, the audio output (especially through headphones) is strong and clear.
The battery life is sufficient to let you take the 545 with you on a long weekend getaway (again, reading Avantgo and listening to mp3's), although you may want to pack an extra AC adapter/recharger just in case.
For the amount of money spent on the 545 and the additional compact flash memory, you may get a better bang for the buck on a Handspring Visor Deluxe and a Rio 500. I think they'd turn out to weigh a bit less than the 545. That said, I'm listening to mp3's on my 545 as I write this review, so I'm definitely getting mileage from my purchase(s).
