Review of HP's iPaq rx3715 Mobile Media Companion Pocket PC

hp

Breaking away from the corporate image, the HP's is aiming their new iPaq rx3715 Mobile Media Companion squarely at the home user. Besides some cosmetic differences (a new casing and a brand new multimedia-focused welcome screen), and the usual PDA stuff (Bluetooth, 802.11b WiFi, built-in digital camera, an SD card slot), the big deal is that it has special media software for audio, video and streaming, and a more powerful IR blaster so it can double as a universal remote control. Not too shabby, but at $500 it's not quite an impulse buy just yet.
