HP iPaq Pocket PC hx4700

Zippy 624MHz processor ; 4-inch VGA screen ; runs Windows Mobile 2003 SE ; integrated Wi-Fi and Bluetooth ; user-replaceable battery

Bulky ; touchpad is unintuitive and isn't always responsive ; subpar video performance

HP's iPAQ hx4700 is certainly not a bargain. Customers are asked to cough up a whole US$650 for the unit, which may be a little too much for the average Joe

Oversized ; a tad short on RAM ; untapped display potential for multimedia
