Hewlett Packard Jornada 690 Handheld PC Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I spent several weeks looking at the assortment of PDA's presently on the market. A number of excellent "palmtops" are available, some outstanding for what they do, but they just didn't have the "stuff" I wanted. Furthermore, I'm a longtime keyboard person, and wasn't particularly excited by all the stylus models.
The Jornada 690 is as close to the right choice as I've been able to find for that combination of features, software, usability and portability I've been seeking. The keyboard is cramped and takes some getting used to, but with practice it's usable. The stylus, functioning as a mouse is basically intuitive, and the sketching utility is handy for my particular line of work.
The startup was flawless, and it linked up with my desktop immediately, requiring only a couple of adjustments to have them conversing comfortably. I've had no lockups nor crashes in CE or any of the apps. So far it has run reliably, and is exactly what I had hoped, a laptop I can carry around in my hand, for me the right choice. I give it 5 stars and hope H-P and MS will continue to support it.

Classic Straight USB Cable for the Archos 5 (120 / 250 GB) with Power Hot Sync and Charge capabilities - uses Gomadic TipExchange Technology Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)First of all, I would like to state that the product picture used on this page is NOT the product that you will receive. the first 2 images show a standard archos 5 cable inserted into an archos while the third and images show a completely different product.
Now onto how this cable actually works. The cable itself is of good quality and the tip removal works nicely with the archos snap in plug, although it can be a nuisance if it becomes removed while charging.
At first I was having problems with getting it to connect to my computer properly but after fiddling with it I've managed to get it to work. make sure you have the removable bit fully inserted (it will snap) before connecting it to your computer.
It works well as a replacement cable just make sure the removal bit is properly inserted and know that the cable is not the same as the one that comes with the archos 5
