HP iPAQ rx4240

By Jenneth Orantia

802.11b/g WLAN and Bluetooth 2.0, SDIO slot, outstanding audio quality, compact

Lack of multimedia playback buttons, no camera, only supports Windows Media Video files natively, only 64MB of storage

A PDA dressed in a portable media player's clothing, the rx4240 is an attractive device that is equally good for productivity and mobile entertainment, but the lack of internal memory is a downside.

Pitched as a 'Mobile Media Companion', the iPAQ rx4240 is HP's latest attempt at breathing new life into the increasingly flagging PDA market. With portable media player sales booming, it makes sense for HP to push the rx4240's multimedia...

Full review: HP iPaq rx4540

By Calvin Chia

From its large onboard memory and SD card slot to the implementation of a 3.5mm audio jack and scroll wheel, the iPaq rx4540 combines a well-thought-out feature set with compact design to appeal to users who plan to use their handhelds for mobile ...

Unique design ; light compact ; 1GB onboard memory ; 3.5mm earphone jack ; SD card slot ; useful scroll wheel ; sharp and bright screen ; Bluetooth v2 and 802.11b/g Wi-Fi

Awkwardly placed stylus ; feels plasticky ; no FM radio ; lacks onboard camera ; unwieldy

Editors' note: According to HP Singapore, the rx4540 is expected to be launched in late October. Kudos to HP for breaking away from the typical PDA mould and coming up with a rather innovative design for its latest iPaq. Based on the orientation...

HP Ipaq RX4200 is essentially a PDA with the ridge in the screen and grip-friendly exterior. The developers have tried to find new forms for the PDA and this is something between a PDA and a media player. The screen is good and the same applies to the sou...
