- a bit pricey but a step up from Palm
My Palm Tungsten E 2 died (quit taking stylus input) so I was in the market for a new PDA. I was basically satisfied with my Palm, but wasn't thrilled with the regular reboots needed, occasional sync issues, etc. I didn't want to pay the accompanying monthly fees for internet access through a smart phone, even though I would like to carry just one device. So I looked at the IPAQ, and eventually swallowed hard, paid the extra $ and bought it.

I've had it about a month now and am used to using it.

I like the feel of the IPAQ, I like the screen, I like the software included (Word, Excel). I wish it had a notepad like the Palm (where instead of keying in words I can scribble a note in regular handwriting, not graffiti, and transcribe later). It's a handy device that does what it's supposed to do. I don't really use the Outlook email on the device, except to refer to email that's been synced from my laptop. And though I guess it'll be occasionally nice to have internet through my wi-fi connection, which seems to work pretty well, I don't think the internet on such a small screen will ever be something I'll get into. My usage of this feature will be no doubt sporadic, as web pages on such a small screen leave much to be desired.

The one big problem I have, and haven't been able to fix, is syncing while Zone Alarm is running. After going through the sync process several times, and trying the Windows mobile help fix, which didn't help at all, I just disabled Zone Alarm, and then was able to sync. Now, I have to do that each time I sync, which is a bit of a hassle, but manageable.

- Good PDA
I got this as a replacement for a previous iPAQ that had a screen failure after 3 years. Mobile Office is nice addition though there were no "Wow" applications or functions.

- Easy even for me
My first foray into the world of PDAs has been very pleasant with this iPaq 111. It's sleek and easy to manage, and I know I'm not using it nearly as much as I could (or in all the ways that I could).

I have only two complaints -- one: maaaan, it sucks down battery power like a starving man at a buffet, and two: I have not yet figured out all the nuances of downloading email attachments to the folder of my choice. But I'm a novice yet, and time will tell.

Meanwhile, I can heartily recommend this (except for the battery-suckage, cuz, sheesh) to other PDA newbies.

- Cautionary note on the Marvell WiFi in the iPaq 111
A cautionary note for anyone looking to use the iPaq 111 as a WiFi scanner or survey tool -- the WiFi driver does NOT properly report the channel to any of the common scanning utilities.

The Marvell SDIO8686 chipset reports the channel as "858512" for all channels. If you are relying on the unit as a survey tool, you are going to end up with bad data. A case opened with HP Support 4/22/08 has only gotten a "we'll look into it" response, and a hint that their might be a firmware update "coming soon".

If you rely on your scanner/stumbler/surveyor, make sure you try your utilities out first before buying this unit!

- Great PDA
I bought this for my teenage son. I had bought him an older, used one, spent money to replace the battery, and then it died before I even received the battery. This one is extremely fast, has a lot of memory, and my son will do his reports for school on it. He seems to have problems with many of his gadgets, but he absolutely loves this and it's still working great for him.
