this is Jaime Rivera from parking now of the video review for the HPI pack 900 series in this edition we'll look into the software that's integrated into the device I'm going to zoom in a bit to get a better grip okay so if you've been in a long time I pack a user like I am you'll notice that HP doesn't really customize your device as much as long as for UI enhancements for anything you won't find much it's actually Windows Mobile as Ross it could be what do I think about the 2.4 inch screen honestly I like it I don't feel it cluttered or too heavy I like it it I see everything I want to see I really do enjoy it pretty much what you'll get is well office mobile 6.1 which is standard in windows mobile 6.1 you get this new HP photosmart mobile which was included in the 110 and 200 series it's a standard application for printing emailing recording and stuff for images not bad at all you get this help and support option which is good for beginners it'll give you a tutorial on what you can expect from the iPad and things to work on it not bad at all you get also this Google search link which will actually only take you to P ie and help you navigate through Google it's really nothing out of the ordinary you get Google Maps integrated there is no GPS application with mapping all you get is Google Maps how is GPS acquisition on this device well guys it's not bad I mean compared to other devices like the X 650 or the Q 9 which I've reviewed it's just a slow not really something like the 3o 800 that you saw on atom lines review but you could deal with that then after that it's pretty much standard you get this camera application which gives you VGA resolution video and also the 3 megapixels from the camera not bad at all really snappy clear view PDF which is nothing out of the ordinary you get this HP iPad GPS quick positioning supposedly if you download this database it'll help you and enhance the GPS performance whatever I found well I downloaded and I see it just as slow but you know it's there it's free so it's nothing that I'll complain about HP print smart mobile is a very old application which enables you to print things from your device to a printer bluetooth printer preferably and you know it's nice for it to be included but it's also free so you can get it internet sharing is included with the Bluetooth PA n which is good some of the devices don't have it if you saw Adam Lyons touch diamond review you notice there was a remote desktop mobile application which enabled you to map your device to the computer and also listen to the sounds of the computer if you wanted this is also included in the iPad really nice feature great for it to be included you get the Sun Java midlet manager honestly the best midlet manager I've used yet it's really practical really snappy you have Opera Mobile here loaded with pocket downs website and it loads really good I don't have no complaints about it I actually consider it to be superior far superior to the ones I've used you get cyber Iran's voice commander compared to Microsoft voice command where I considered better or worst I consider it the same it's it has the same recognitions and options in Latin America where you have more digits for dialing this actually does recognize more digits as opposed to voice command which will only take the typical seven digits for cell phone number so this really helps around one thing I do like about voice commander is for example if you go to mail and I have this mail open right here you get this option for HP voice reply which will actually enable you to record a small sound recording and answer to your email this is really nice it actually enables the option for you to be on the run not being able to actually type anything and practically record what you want people to hear I don't like the fact that it doesn't have soft key options and I'll show you in a bit but if for example you want to control the file size because it does tend to be a bit large you can control it from the same s IP settings so this is really nice enhancement so if you go to HP voice reply and you say reply to sender it'll give you the bar for recording not really an option for soft keys really uncomfortable but you have to take your stylus out for this to work but it's a nice enhancement not bad at all then if we go back to programs everything is pretty much standard after that if we go to settings it's the same deal everything is standard you don't get actually additional button mapping as you did another eye packs all you do is have one option for the hardware buttons that are included so not bad not good I would have enjoyed something additional after that everything is standard then if we go to the other side we have the typical controls we have an audio control which I believe there's a little bit of a bug here because every time I would send bass boost up or treble every time I soft reset the device this goes back so hope HP's riding this down another option that is different is this keyboard function which allow you to turn the keyboard on and off and also control the backlight really nice feature included after this it's pretty much if we want to go and look at memory I'll I've already loaded my email in my Outlook so pretty much you get a one twenty five point seventy four megabytes of storage out of which you could say you get a fair one hundred and ten megabytes available and then we get program memory 112 out of which fifty eight is available one thing neat about the eye pack is you have I pack file store which is back from the old eye packs really neat so what's good about eye pack file store you get twenty megabytes of ROM that are actually separated from storage roms so if you get to hard reset you don't actually have to be depending on a storage card you can actually use the same device memory to backup files and then restore them really nice I like this after this you pretty much get this ringtone feature which doesn't do much but look for ringtones in your device and let you play them that's pretty much it as I mentioned you don't get a screen rotation option here it's pretty much just the line screen clear type and text size not really something out of the ordinary then we go to the other tab and pretty much here all I could consider different is the fact that for example if you saw the 100 and 200 series reviews you notice they use the wind econ Bluetooth stack which wasn't good because it didn't real work when you send the device to standby so it's really nice that HP chose to include the Microsoft Bluetooth stack in this device which allows for it to remain available when you send the device to standby which helps with Bluetooth headsets and other options Wi-Fi acquisition is really good on this device really decent it's pretty much standard you get this HP I practically quit actually allows you to select the country you're at and then help you get all the settings and connectivity settings from that country's mobile provider my country's not here so I'm not really gonna look at that you have this domain enroll which will actually allow for you to enroll two domains on corporate networks I haven't really had the tents attempt to test this but it's a nice addition I hadn't seen before this is pretty much what's included in software and the Ipek really as I mentioned nothing out of the ordinary probably I would have enjoyed the fact that I could control these soft keys also but not this is not included either this is pretty much it for the part 2 of the video review if you have any questions or something you'd like for us to see in part 3 as per performance keep us posted on the forum thank you very much for pocketnow.com
