Hewlett Packard Jornada 548 Pocket PC

Pros: Slim, Color Screen, Added Memory
Cons: Price

Should you be looking at either the HP Jornada 545 or 548 and be torn between the two, don’t hesitate to spend the extra for Jornada 548. With 32 MB of RAM, the 548 has twice the memory of the 545. The 32MB are more suited to the variety of functions...

Pros: Software Compatibility, Large memory Capacity, and Upgradability, Compact Size
Cons: Price and screen visibility when outside

The HP Jornada 548 was my first venture into the PDA market. I did a lot of research into the various PDA options and finally decided to go with the Windows OS versus the Palm operating system. I came to the conclusion that the two best pocket PC’s on...

Pros: Compact power, easy to use, nice price
Cons: screen too hard to see outside

I was an avid Palm user for the past couple of years, but my yearnings for something more powerful led me to the PocketPC realm.

I had been considering the iPaq, but given its price, the way that compaq has not had a stellar performance...

Pros: Loaded with features, Plays MP3s
Cons: A bit hefty, and more expensive than the Palm

HP's Jornada 548, one of Microsoft Windows CE PocketPC models released this year, is a workhorse that boasts a 133 Mhz processor and 32 MB of ram, in addition to a beautiful color active-matrix display. It's a powerful beast of a PocketPC, and does a...

Pros: Style, 32MB, HP Task Switcher, MP3, CompactFlash expandability
Cons: Screen, Usability of the OS, Price, Quirky sync behavior, Excessive for normal users, Non-removable battery

For the longest time, I tried to stay away from the whole Palm/Handheld PC trend, simply because I never had a need for one: I don't work at a job where I have appointments and meetings daily, I don't have that many business contacts to keep track of,...

Pros: - In expensive - Well designed and built - Wide range of available software
Cons: - Not the newest OS - Screen hard to read outdoors

I received an HP Jornada 548 as a replacement for my wife's defective 525. (Mistake on the part of HP or serendipity?) Since she is getting a Treo 90 for Christmas and never really used the 525 anyway, the 548 has fallen to me.

I have been...

Pros: OMNISKY WIRELESS MODEM, WIRELESS SURFING!!!
Cons: SLOW processor, screen hard to see outdoors

I purchased the HP545 to replace my Palm V. It was a tough choice, after owning a Palm Professional (1mb) and than the Palm V (2mb). I was liked the Palms a lot, but the HP Jornada touted features the Palm did not have
Some features that the HP...

Pros: Speed, RAM, included applications, handwriting recognition, appearance/case
Cons: price, 12-bit screen

As a college student entering his Junior year, I've found I have a problem keeping my notes/homework organized, especially when I'm busy - which is when I need them most. My solution to this problem was the Jornada 548.
I'd like to note here that...

Pros: Windows Ce, graphics, Excel, Word
Cons: Price

I purchased an HP Jornada 548 a few months ago. This purchase stemmed from my need to have a PDA. I first purchased the Palm IIIxe but wanted to jazz up my daily work a bit with color so I went back to the store to purchase a Palm IIIce. I had been...

Pros: Screen, speed, case/cover, size
Cons: Price

Did HP get it right this time? I've been using handhelds/palmtops/PDAs since the HP 95LX, and have owned all versions of Windows CE devices, as well as an Apple Newton (remember those?). Other than the Newton and a Philips Nino, all my handhelds have...

Pros: High resolution, vibrant colors, good software.
Cons: The product is slightly costly.

Review: HP Jornada 548

I was so impressed after purchasing my Palm m100, that I decided to spring for a higher end model of a PDA. This was part of my initial dip into the PDA world, and I was just getting used to carrying my m100...

Pros: Small Size. USB Connection.
Cons: Inferior display. Design flaw on card slot cover

Hewlett Packard came awfully close to "perfect" on this model...Except for a few let-downs discussed later.

Once you own a PocketPC, you begin to wonder how exactly you got along without one. It is certainly a must-have for...

Pros: Internet capable, Pocket PC operating system. Memory
Cons: Size, Clumsy Menu system

There is no such thing as a perfect PDA. You can get more than the HP Jordana 548, but you’ll spend a whole lot more for the IPAQ. You can get a thinner, more elegant package for the same price with Palm M505, but you can’t get wireless internet access...

Pros: A handy little mini-computer in my pocket.
Cons: Little pricey (but worth it) Could use some more fun accessories

The Hp Jornada is not for everyone. It is for those that must have it all, and if you don't need it all, the Jornada is not for you. I always thought that PDA's were no more than expensive little tip calculators like on that one Seinfeld episode. But I...

Pros: Improved OS, simple navigation, useful software, expandable
Cons: price tag, some crashes, syncing with Money 2000 does not work

I'll be honest - I don't like Microsoft. I've hated all previous CE devices, and was very skeptical of the "new and improved" Pocket PC OS. However, after taking the Jornada for a test drive, I had a change of heart. Finally, a PDA that can...
