Part 4: Video Review HP iPAQ 110

2008-01-10
hey guys a time every letter from parking now common this is part four of the video review for the HP ipaq 110 in this edition will go a little more at the detail into the connectivity options the iPad has to offer and a couple of extra stuff I looked into wild toying with the device if I had to put Wi-Fi to the test i would consider the I packs wireless package to be decent definitely Wi-Fi is a i would consider better in comparison to other mobile devices for example I deliberately left my router two rooms away just to check signal strength and you'll notice I get two bars on my router here at the top then you'll notice in my laptop I get a three bars over here at the end but if I would try to compare this to my Harold my Harold barely gives me one bar of my router and in some cases it just simply loses it as opposed to the ipaq which always shows it to be available and connects pretty quick to it another thing I do consider nice about the ipad is the HP ipaq wireless I consider it quicker to get connected it's actually much better as available here on the honor today screen in comparison to the comm managers I've used from other devices like HTC bluetooth is really nothing out of the ordinary as I mentioned in the past probably one of the things I don't like about the Bluetooth stack that's included is the fact that if you send your device to stand by it'll turn bluetooth off and not leave it on so it's not really good for example if you want to try connecting through the BT phone manager through a phone and then keep it active while on standby for messengers or stuff like that differences are probably since it's a different Bluetooth stack and you could probably go into here into settings you'll notice it has different profiles that you choose what kind of accessibility you want all the different services that are probably available and obviously about what's interesting though is for example if you go in here and to my to the manager and then you'll see all paired devices here that I have one of the things I like is that it has like a wizard interface which reminds me of the old ipaq 1940 I used to have with different wizards for connections to explore Bluetooth device hi Claudia high-quality audio setup connect to the internet via phone hands-free we got p IM synchronization and then if you click on any of these it will take you to a wizard to get connected let's bring it over here again we have active zinc via bluetooth the file browser connect to a network joint personal network you can exchange business cards you can use it as a pc remote control which is something i would have i've tried to look into yet but i haven't really gotten it to work and connect to a keyboard which is something i have exploded as of yet pretty much in bluetooth these are the innovations as i mentioned it's not perfect i would consider the microsoft bluetooth stack to be a bit better but it's it has its advantages since this isn't a phone device you don't have a obviously the option to connect to edge or 3g or GPRS but HP was kind enough to include the bt phone manager for this from BB RP it is really good for HP to include this the only thing i don't like about this is its it was designed to be the device oriented and service specific so if you go into settings and then you try to set up a communications device you actually have to try to detect it and you'll really have a hard time at the beginning trying to get this done because of the fact that of the device that you have is not included in the list it'll take a long time for the device to detect it but anyways afterwards even even though i had these problems i was able to get at least the the HTC s620 which is the same t-mobile dash and use it as practically an equivalent for my Herald because my Herald is it included and obviously my network here is not included because i'm currently not at the US but in the end it didn't work which is the most important part if you were trying to connect for example if you have another windows mobile standard pro device the way you'd have to connect the procedure would be is a practically bring your device in the internet sharing put it on pam-4 bluetooth and then hit connect and then once you get that after you pair your devices obviously you later hit connect here on the BT phone manager and once you do set for whatever device you have set it it'll actually give you the instructions and it'll tell you click on this and tap on that to get connected and then you later hit next then it'll try to connect it won't actually connect right now because I'm having a bit of a network problem but this is pretty much the procedure which I consider after you get paired to be simple it's a really good application it really helps out get an extra way to get connected to the Internet well I hope you enjoyed part 4 of the video review for the HP ipaq 110 this is pretty much it for pocketnow.com
