Timothy
a very valid point several features on the new iPaq’s
are a feature of the OS rather than the iPaq
I
was surprised
about your comments on transcriber, my righting is very poor but it really
has
got the measure of me, it’s a pity voice recognition is so poor, I
will
try my wifes iPaq and
see
if its just mine.
I
should
also add the battery life appears better (although its
been a month since some b$%&*£d stole my previous iPaq)
BTW
I
understand that Compaq are preventing “upgrades” from units
that
have already had a knocked off copy installing I think there version number
is
different.
The
PDF
reading was impressive but the extra memory does help, I did not expect to
be
able to read all the Crystal reports manuals (full developer set) on the ipaq.

two
3850 iPaq’s
Tankard
Ok I
will:-
Things
that are new on the 3850:-
1)
voice recognition (Not very good, it will not work on mine
about 5%
accurate)
2)
Case much better, a hinge affair with a hard plastic front to
protect the screen
3)
Fits the old backs and all work
fine
4)
The docking connector is DIFFERENT !!! it will not work with the Targus keyboard
!!!
5)
Faster
6)
Active sync will work with
subfolders
This
is
part of the PocketPC 2002 os upgrade which should start shipping before
year
end (according to Compaq support)
7)
Just been reading a 650 paged PDF
!
8)
MSN messenger built in (Not used
it)
I’ve
tried a third party shareware client over a wireless lan, and to be honest
prefer my vaio sub-notebook (with built in camera, mic and Windows
XP)
9)
TS client built in
Again,
part of the upgrade
10)
Beams contacts to phones and back
again
Part
of
the upgrade!

As said before the transcriber is out of this world, you can
write
any ware on the screen in upper/lower or joined up script you can write
loads
without stopping even over text you have already put down when you pause it
converts the accuracy I would say is in the region of 95% ! you can still
use
the keyboard, Block recognizer and the letter recognizer but really with
transcriber its not necessary.
I’ve
been using transcriber (it was a download from the MS site) since I first
got
my iPAQ in August 2000. I actually prefer the block recognizer, but that
could
be because my handwriting is really untidy and it
struggles!
12)
Cut and paste much better
