Part 2: Video Review HP iPAQ 210

2008-03-28
hey guys at i'm a bit of a tour from pocket or two of the video review for the HP ipaq 210 in this edition will go a little bit into software and if you saw my video reviews on the ipaq 100 series the air pack 210 is really not much different if we go to the ipaq wireless here on the day screen we have a Bluetooth controller which is very very different to the Microsoft Bluetooth stack it's really nice it's really practical I'm actually connected to the internet through my other phone and what I really like is this connection wizard it really makes it seamless and simple to connect to different options for bluetooth one of the things I like is there is a PC remote control here it has a lot of neat things and it's really really simple to pair and connect wireless LAN is really nice to you can actually control if its status on it or off from here it's really practical and you can control both of them from here then we have this today ribbon right here which gives me battery power and then it takes me to the battery power section it gives me different options it has a USB charging section for slower fast connection a CF power setting which is really interesting I had never seen this before but then again there aren't any other windows mobile 6 devices with CF support except for this device so I think so this is pretty much it then the rest is pretty much standard we get office mobile 6.1 and what's really interesting is we get one note mobile already included in the package really really neat really practical if you want to see how Excel looks on this device well we get is a really really well zoomed view of Excel with this foreign screen but then if we zoom out fifty percent we got a lot of screen to work on a lot of really need space really really good I really like this then we have the BT phone manager which since I'm connected using it to the internet it actually gives me data received this sin theta the amount of time I've been connected through bluetooth to my other phone which is good it actually gives me different options to connect but what's really nice is that this bluetooth stack actually gives me an option to connect the devices without the need of the BT phone manager but not a problem at all you have a help of help and support the option here which is pretty much just different tours you get then we get a typical internet explorer we get HP photosmart which is actually better than the microsoft included photo editor it's really practical it brings different options for printing recording stuff on it emailing bleeding we have something for side views and everything it's really really Park practical and then obviously four-inch vga screen brings a lot of neat images really really cute I really like this if we go to programs we have this EMA option which are actually all it does is take you to the Internet Explorer and connect you to the HP web page which is really nothing out of the ordinary I'm not going to cover that then we have clear view PDF we have the typical file explorer I pack quick start tool which I went through on the iPad 100 series and it simply gives you a tour of basics and it's actually like task a task option for training and it keeps training you on different stuff and then it tells you ok you're trained on this and you're trained on that then we get HP ipaq tips which you get every time you turn on the device every time you soft reset it you get this to come out just really need really decent we have internet sharing which I have no idea what it's here for but it's here and then we have HP print smart which is not included in the 100 series if I remember correctly and we have different options to connect to bluetooth printers or to a typical printer which has a Bluetooth duggal pretty much after this we have well Windows Live a search option test pictures and videos windows media nothing really really out of the ordinary it's pretty practical pretty simple and as I showed you all it does it take this oma option only takes you to the HP website really nothing that's going to bring any sort of benefits in settings we predict practically have the typical installation that you would get in a normal windows mobile device it's actually one of the things I like about HP devices the fact that they focus on giving you the windows mobile complete package and not really many editions which will take unnecessary memory off your device and not all manufacturers are actually nice enough to allow you allow you to remove these so this is pretty pretty welcomed as I mentioned in my Hardware video practically what one of the things I would defer about this device is the fact that it's retailed as an enterprise device and that well if I would consider using this as a laptop replacement I would consider the fact that probably Office Mobile is not going to really do the best job and in comparison to would office 2007 or office 2003 would do so I would recommend that HP would consider bringing in different applications or offer you at least a trial or probably discounting softmaker or for better office office options or probably offer opera instead of the Internet Explorer to give you better connectivity options as opposed to what you get here but pretty much this is not the option you will have to invest a little bit of extra money to actually turn this ipaq 200 series into a real laptop replacement now the good thing is you do have the potential the device does has the capacity so this is pretty much it for my software edition of the ipaq 200 series will
