How often do you see students and professionals lugging around scheduling books and laptops in order to stay connected? Even the stay at home parent needs some way of keeping track of important appointments and information. No one can afford to stay locked to their home computer all of the time. There is a way to remain on the go and still stay connected. You can try an iPAQ Pocket PC. There are two different versions that may meet your needs: the H5550 and the H1910.

So what can you expect from both of these great pieces of technology? Well, you get a pocket PC that is roughly the size of a deck of cards. The H5550 is slightly bigger than the H1910, but both are slim, which translates into an easy carrying size perfect for your purse, briefcase or pocket. Both have a trans-reflective display that is of the highest quality and produces clear, high definition pictures. Both have removable batteries, which means you can replace the battery with a fully charged one and not have to worry about losing your important documents and files.

The iPAQ Pocket PC model H5550 is much more expensive than the H1910.

The H1910 model is definitely worth the price, even though it has less power and a few drawbacks, such as the headphone jack. If you want better quality headphones, then you will have to purchase an adapter at a Radio Shack, but they are relatively inexpensive. Also not included with the pocket PC is the cradle. You can purchase the cradle for around $49.

Both the iPAQ Pocket PC H5550 and the H1910 can ensure that you stay connected while you are on the go. It does not rely on an internet connection that a desktop computer needs. You can enjoy the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth features of the hand held devices that allow you to transfer documents without the need for wires. The best way to decide which one is right for you is to review the specs.

It comes with a hefty price tag of around $650, but you can count on a 400 MHz XScale processor, a biometric fingerprint scanner and much more memory. The biometric scanner is a clear winning point because it means that if your hand held is ever stolen, someone will not be able to retrieve your documents or use your pocket PC software.
