  • Fast and flawless, but outdated now. Good for Linux tinkerers.

    Do you remember the acronym 'PDA' - 'Personal Digital Assistant'? Before mobile phones became smart, a PDA is what trendy businesspeople - and geeks - used to keep track of things, and occasionally play the odd game of Jawbreaker or Mines. The iPAQ hx4700 was a trend-setter in its day (2004): it's fast (624 MHz CPU) and it's got a beautiful VGA-resolution display that is readable in daylight or in darkness. It runs PocketPC 2003, which became Windows Mobile. You can upgrade it to Windows Mobile 2005, but I found it slow and buggy after the update, and I restored the original software. Backups are simple: backup to a CF or SD card. You can install apps using the ActiveSync application - provided that you can a) find it and b) persuade it to run with whatever version of Windows you are using. Modern versions of Windows might be too new. If you can't run ActiveSync, you can still copy binaries to the hx4700, or CAB files with embedded ARM executables. The best news is that the hx4700 runs Linux, and runs it well. When Handhelds DOT org started, the hx4700 was one of the first PDAs to get a fast and bug-free Linux distro - be that OPIE, GPE or other. It's a shame that Handhelds has now gone, although hx4700 Linux distros are still available on mirrors: try Ibiblio or archive.org. The photos show a recent distro, from a German site. I was not able to find this page when I wrote this review. In its 'Windows mode', there are simple diary/notepad/organiser tools installed, a PDA reader and Pocket Informant organiser applications (very nice).

  • Very nice little Pda.

    Good little Pda, definitely come in use at work, had to install some really old drivers from some really old websites to get some programs to work but still worked nonetheless.
