iPAQ H3900
Posted: Aug 10, 2002 @ 4:46amHey guys. Sorry I broke my vow of PM celebasy, it was working out really great for me. Maybe a small withdrawl symptom, for about an hour. Specifically irritability. But I got over it quick. And I'm generally in a better mood.
But I need your help on something. I'm planning on getting a new PPC, if all goes well it should be here tuesday. the iPAQ H39xx. I heard the bluetooth stack on the h3970 was poor, and I don't need integrated wireless. Plus I personally believe it's a technology that will soon be delegated to Digimon toys. But anyway, it's the iPAQ H3950 for me. And I found it cheap online so Staples is giving me their 110% price match, woohoo $50 off! And I REALLY like the Consumer IR that I can use on my entire home theater system from my iPAQ.
But I consider that the best XScale device, with many more pros than cons, espcially compared to the Toshiba. And the Loox, aside from not truly being available, doesn't offer features I want. If anyone cares to express their opinion that another device is better then you've got the rest of the weekend to persuade me and the rest of the PM community.
I'm looking at SD memory cards now and was wondering about their speed. Which cards are faster, better price, etc. In the end, it comes down to, is there really that much of a difference in SD card brands that price should be a consideration. I hear that Lexar Media is very fast, but is that twice as fast as SanDisk, or 33% faster? Is it worth the premium price tag. Should i go with the $130 256MB SanDisk ($60 off through end of august) or the $210 256MB Lexar Media SD card?
I remember seeing a webpage with memory card benchmarks, it was a digital camera website, but it's link was posted on Dale Coffing, I believe. Maybe someone remembers the URL?
Thanks for any and all information you can provide. On a purchase like this the smallest piece of information good or bad makes the price less scary.
