PDA Ipaq died

[Steven A. Milek]

After 5 years of using this device with Palm-Tech software my HP Ipaq took a crap. Now Im considering a tablet. Does anyone have any advice on what tablet to get? I need to do as much work as possible in the field. The Ipaq was good, but sometimes the screen was just to small. Lots of inputting to the laptop at home. 5 years ago this thing cost me over $300.00. Well worth it. Time to move on. I look forward to getting some suggestions.

Thanks,
Steven Milek

I used both a Dell and Ipaq for years with Palm Tech. Went to the 2go Tablet PC earlier this year and love it.

I would suggest the HP iPaq 210 PDA. It has a big high-resolution screen. The text is actually bigger and easier to read on the screen then it would be on most smaller laptops/tablets. What iPaq were you using before that died ? Getting 5 years out of ANY type of computer is very good...especially out in the field.

The record still is the original Apple Newton...we actually still have a handful of inspectors using their Newtons from over 12 years ago....ironic.

As Paul mentioned, check out the CTL2Go Tablet at http://www.ctlcorp.com . The new N2 model has a 6 cell battery that lasts 6-8 hours. For $499 you can't beat it.

Contact Matt Kintze at mkintz@ctlcorp.com. He was keeping a stack aside for our users. I think there's some of the $529 ones still left over. Email me for a $20 off coupon code, I can't post it publicly.

You can go to www.pricegrabber.com and search for other options also.
