AnexTEK moboDA 3360 PocketPCPhone

 

Hot from Taiwan, hot on specs and hot in performance: the new AnexTEK moboDA 3360 PocketPCPhone.

And, for a change, the English-speaking world is to get this phone before Asia does!

This latest incarnation from the Wistron company is a far cry from its earlier SP230 model for which we had the scoop review last year.

With Windows Mobile 5.0 running on a 520 MHz XScale PXA272 and all the connectivity you’d want plus a 1.3 MP camera this would be a serious contender if you’re looking for an all-in-one device.

How does it perform, how does it feel and how is the quality of the phone, the camera and the PDA?

Those questions we will look at in this First Impressions review.

We’ll have another, more in-depth review, in a few weeks. More...

Pocket Informant 6 (R2.1)

 

A couple of years ago, we reviewed the then newly released WebIS Pocket Informant 4 from the perspective of a first-time user.

At that time Pocket Informant was by far the best Personal Information Manager (PIM) we had seen.

Today we revisit Pocket Informant (PI) in its latest form: WebIS released Pocket Informant 2005 (PI 2005) – the name given to PI6 – fairly recently and as always, followed that up with a couple of additional releases to make it even better.

I've been using PI since our editor reviewed PI4, and it is one of only a few programs I use not just daily, but most of the day.

This new version of Informant, like its predecessors, is by far the best PIM we've come across yet!

Join me on a whirlwind tour of appointments, contacts, tasks and notes all in a VGA compatible package.

 

Oh, but wait! There IS more.

Whereas we won’t be looking at it today, another WebIS product - Mail 2.1 – is a great replacement for the basic email client from Microsoft.

Together with PI 2005 you could easily have the perfect Outlook® replacement!

Samsung e317 Mobile Phone

 

With the wide variety of cell phones available on the market today, choosing a cell phone can be more time consuming than ever.  In fact, it's almost like picking out clothes.  You want to choose something that was designed well and basically fits and suits your needs.  It is interesting to take a look at how different companies design their cell phones and the tradeoffs that go along with it.  For instance, a cell phone's average display may be made up for with an abundant set of features, or vice-versa. 

The Samsung e317 is a compact, stylish phone.  As a budget phone, this phone provides all the basic features, and more, that most people want in a cell phone.  As expected with many flip phones, this phone offers a mediocre battery life, however, many people will still choose this phone because of its compact package with an intuitive interface.

LG F9100 Mobile Phone

 

If you are an American Idol fan, you might have seen this phone being advertised by Cingular in a show or two.  Cingular couldn't have chosen a better audience.  If you aren't familiar with American Idol, the fans vote on their favorite singers by text messaging their responses with their phone.  If you are the person who does a lot of text messaging, then this phone is for you.  LG's unique phone makes it easier to send larger quantities of text with its built in keyboard.

Although this phone is designed for text messaging, it doesn't mean that this phone is perfectly flawless in that area.  Unfortunately, you won't be able to use the keyboard with all the applications.  The other features of the phone aren't particularly outstanding either, but they still do hold their ground.

f-tech Solar 7 Bluetooth GPS Receiver

 

Why didn’t anyone think of this before?

Combine a Bluetooth GPS receiver that most of the time sits on top of a dashboard anyway, with an integrated solar panel and, voila, you have the longest battery life possible.

Have a look at this first, in-depth review of this beauty from f-tech Corporation, based on the Trimble FirstGPS chipset.

We put it through test drives and also checked it out in a pressurized Cessna Centurion to see how it behaved in real life.

Check out the full review here.

PielFrama cases for iPAQ 4700

 

PielFrama has a way of surprising us.

We’re used to their very high quality leather cases – no surprise there (unless you’re a first time customer).

But for this age-old Spanish company who, for decades have specialized in hand-crafted leather goods, to come up with something as different as aluminum cases is something of a pleasant surprise.

Today we have a quick look at Piel Frama's aluminium PDA cases. The one we 'road tested' was for HP's hx4700.

We also will “weigh” that one up against the traditional leather case for the iPAQ 4700.

Have a look at the details here.

Epocrates Essentials

 

Software for professionals doesn’t come any more comprehensive than the exhaustive databases for the medical world brought to us from the folks at Epocrates.

If any medico does not avail himself of this indispensable information he is not doing himself a favour, nor his patient!

Today we’re looking at the Essentials suite of software for the PocketPC.

We do this not from a medical professional’s point of view but with the somewhat biased eye of someone who appreciates well-crafted software.

The dream of housewives and bachelors alike: someone who does all the housecleaning regularly, thoroughly and inexpensively.

I spend a fair bit of time doing housecleaning on my computers: getting rid of junk files that clutter up and waste valuable memory space.

This is even more important on PDAs.

Dialogue ultra-portable Flybook – Part II

 

I’ve spent about 3 months with arguably the best-connected ultra-portable notebook in the world, most of that time on the road and all of the time the Flybook being the only computer I worked with.

How did that go?

Have my enthusiastic first impressions (see our July 21 review) mellowed or did I discover the Flybook is for keeps?

Leonard Maltin’s Movie Guide 2005

 

If you have a choice of 20,000 similar products which will have a very dissimilar end result when consumed, you need a guide.

Any guide will be better than none at all but few in the know will disagree that, when it comes to movies, Leonard Maltin is the Oracle.

So when LandWare teamed up with Leonard to craft the ultimate Movie Guide, did they deliver?

Sandisk Cruzer Titanium 512MB Flash Drive

 

USB flash drives have been around for quite a while now.  Many companies now manufacture their own USB flash drives in common sizes such as 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, or even 1GB.  The difficulty in making a USB flash drive is trying to differentiate it from the many competitors that exist in the market.  It is difficult because there is only so much that you can do to make your own flash drive different.  The main factors involve the size, style, and the speed of the drive. 

Today, we will be reviewing Sandisk’s flagship USB flash drive that attempts to be different from the others.  From the name of the product, you immediately know it has Titanium of some sort, a very strong metal that you can predict will make the product much more durable.  Although Sandisk makes other flash drives such as the Cruzer mini and micro, this product is supposedly faster than both. 

In this review, we’ll find out if it has what it takes to stand above the rest of the flash drives.

Asus MyPal A730 VGA PocketPC

 

There hasn’t been such excitement in the PocketPCReviews team for a long time while anticipating the arrival of the Asus MyPal A730 with VGA screen for a review.

With the high demand for this pre-production unit (it was the only one in Australia at the time of writing) we only could have it for a few days.

Not long enough to do our customary in-depth review, complete with benchmarking and comparisons.

That’s why this review is in 2 installments: today the First Impressions and upon general availability here we’ll do the number crunching.

Splitting this extensive write-up in half will also bring it back to our normal review length again.

Dialogue ultra-portable Flybook (Part I)

 

In business it pays to be well-connected.

For road warriors it becomes even more important to be able to have access to the Internet and other devices via all available means.

And you want it in the smallest possible package.

Let me introduce you to a close to ideal travelling companion, the Flybook from Dialogue.

If you’ve been attracted to the likes of FlipStart, the OQO or any other ultra-portable notebook, you owe it to yourself to have a good look at the tablet-style Flybook.

You expect it to have WiFi and Bluetooth, but add a SIM card slot for GPRS (there’s even a CDMA model), a CF / PC card slot, 2 FireWire ports and suddenly you have an ultra-capable machine.

Did you say you want it in Ferrari-red?

Come and click here for Part I of this extensive review.
