HP Jornada 430
Unlike the Jornada 680e, which was meant for pure work and less fun, the 430 is an enjoyable Windows CE device to use and carry around. It has connectors for headphones, which the 680e lacked. The 430 comes preinstalled with Utopia Hum, an MP3 player. What restricts the fun is the limited amount of memory on the device, which is only 16 MB. You can extend this with a compact flash card that can be inserted on a socket behind the 240x320 pixel LCD screen. The Jornada 430 does not bundle Pocket Word, Excel or other applications, but comes with Pocket Outlook for managing contacts, calendar and mail. It can take voice notes as well. Also included is a software called CIC Jot Pro for handwriting recognition. Overall, the 430 is a usable and fun product, but comes at an extremely high price.
