Part 3: Video Review HP iPAQ 110

2007-12-27
hey guys it's Hema to be better from parking part three of the video review for the HPI pack 110 this addition we're going to go through capabilities and a couple of bugs I've noticed after a couple of weeks of usage media capabilities is probably one of my disappointments one of the things I didn't like about this device is that even though you have a px a310 processor which has 300 624 megahertz of processing power I converted a Bourne Ultimatum through svv mobile DVD which is a 320 by 240 which is Q VGA resolution under 25 frames per second which will render or 437 kbps video and even though you're supposed to have all this power and the processor has enhanced media capabilities there is a little bit of lagging probably a small fraction of a second but I would have expected and you'll notice that there's a little small little bit of lagging here I would have expected that at least for this small resolution you would have flawless video video performance but I honestly haven't noticed that to be that good I would have expected or would have preferred it to be better it's just too bad for this part obviously video quality is something important for example this American Airlines flight landing in bill C alpha was filmed under a bit more quality than the Bourne Ultimatum I showed earlier and you will still notice some lagging here and there one there there's another one and those are probably things that I would have expected this device to show up better on and obviously you won't see it there and then obviously when you bring larger videos like for example part two of our video review which was filmed at a 3640 kbps and their VGA resolution lagging just keeps on getting bigger and bigger too bad for this device honestly I would have expected better rendering it has a large processor it's a really good for its price range it's just too bad video performances definitely not what I expected gaming performance isn't bad I was just expecting that probably the device would understand the commands better because of obviously it's a Windows Mobile classic device it has the same buttons for when this the game was configured anybody remember Wolfenstein 3d from the OS here it is but the problem is it doesn't the button mapping doesn't really understand the the way my Windows Mobile 2003 device did I was really nostalgic about the fact that I could probably play these games on my on this new device but uh it hasn't really gotten as better as I'd expect obviously playing these games on a phone device is really bad it's button mappings are not at all the same I was expecting that to be better here but it sadly isn't going into bugs I've noticed three in the last couple of days for example one of them is Wi-Fi you'll notice my WLAN icon here at the bottom to be turned off but then you see the windows mobile icon turned on at the top any time you send your device to standby and then you turn it back on it'll sometimes try to connect again to Wi-Fi sometimes it'll just stay stuck like this and then you have to soft reset your device to fix it haven't found any other way to fix it myself another one for example is the fact that if you enable GPRS connection and the BT phone manager then whenever you're connected to Wi-Fi and you lose your Wi-Fi connection by some issue like distance or something it'll start to try to connect to the GPRS connection uncontrollably I've tried to find a way to disable this or try to make the device ask you if you want to connect and it just doesn't give you an option it'll just try to connect and try to connect and keep on doing it until you end up soft resetting again another sad bug from the device then and the other one is probably battery life I just finished charging my device like five minutes ago ten minutes ago the most and then you'll notice that I'm down to 61% probably in ten charges this has only happened to me twice this is second time whenever I disconnect you're probably at 100% and then in a couple of seconds you send your device to standby and turn it back on and then you're down to the 68 probably one of the other things I haven't liked about the device is that even though you do get a mini USB connection at the bottom and that is supposedly compatible with any other USB connections I try to use my you my mini USB connector from our Harold which has the same amount of approach and voltage that the HP device has and it just won't recognize it that's probably one of the things I would have enjoyed and probably the bugs obviously are some things that no user wants but then again this is probably it for what the problems I've noticed in the device and that's pretty much it for part three of the video review of the HP iPAQ 110 remember to keep us posted on the forum in case you want to know anything else that's it for now for pocketnow.com
