By Bonnie Cha (cnet.com)

The HP iPaq 310 Travel Companion is a sleek portable navigation system with a gorgeous screen, text-to-speech functionality, and integrated Bluetooth. It also displays 3D building renderings and has multimedia capabilities.

"Very frustrating - I would not recommend this unit"
