Hewlett-Packard' new line of PDAs demonstrates the manufacturer's flexibility in designing models of different levels, and perfectly meets the needs of respective groups of users. The h2210, is a typical workhorse that combines a utilitarian feature-rich design and a moderate price. The iPAQ h2210 is an inexpensive PDA (priced at around $350) based on the Pocket PC platform, equipped with a 400MHz XScale processor, integrated Bluetooth adapter and two slots for SD/MMC and CompactFlash cards.
The design of the HP iPAQ h2210 reminds that of the most popular mainstream PDA - Dell Axim X5. But HP's product looks more elegant and follows the style of top iPAQ models. Also, the h2210 is smaller than the X5, and generally looks better.
On the side panels you can see nonslip coating which makes this PDA similar to the Dell Axim. It's not rubber but something like kapron or polyethylene with a velvety texture. It's more slippery than rubber but less than hard plastic. You feel more confident with such coating when holding this PDA in your hands. Maybe this is just a psychological effect, but anyway, it's very pleasant to handle this device.
In front you can see standard 4 application short-cut buttons and a 5-way joystick. The joystick easily tilts in all directions, but it's a bit tough to press, that is why there's a certain risk of incorrect response - if you press it not right in the center, the joystick may tilt rather than go down. In all other respects, it's pleasant in use. Above you can see a power button recessed into the PDA body so that you don't press it occasionally, and charge and Bluetooth LEDs.
The screen is made of a standard transreflective TFT matrix of the standard resolution of 320 x 240 pixels and 65,535 colors.
The PDA is powered by a Li-Ion 900 mAh battery is flat and can be removed.
In the box you can find the PDA itself, a charger, a USB cradle, documentation and a software CD.
