Why did I sell my 1910?

[LRRobinson]

I recently sold my iPaq 1910 partly because I knew that it couldn't be upgraded to Pocket PC 2003 and I wanted wireless capablities. Now I miss it so much. So small, so sleek, so light! The 3900 series and other series are so BIG compared to the 1900 series. Why can't I get a 1910 with WiFi and Bluetooth.

When someone has a Pocket PC in that form factor with those capabilites and keyboard input wouldd be nice too, then I will be the first to sign up!

The 1940 and 1945, slated to come out by the end of this month, have built-in Bluetooth in the same form factor of the 1910. They also support SDIO, so you should be able to pop an SD Wi-Fi card in there (if they ever come out!).

I agree, the 1910 has to be the cutest form factor ever.

Yes, I am going to guess in about 12 months, someone is going to have the same sized Pocket PC with 802.11g and Bluetooth! I am still looking for an integrated keyboard on a Pocket PC. Is this against MS rules, not to have Pocket PC with keyboards? Does anyone know?

Re: 802.11g, I don't know - Pocket PCs can't even saturate an 11 Mbps connection, so why would they need a 54 Mbps connection? Still, you're right, we may see it someday.

Regarding the keyboard, no, there are no rules about Microsoft not allowing it - the problem is that none of the OEMs have the guts to give it a try like Sony has. :mrgreen:

The new Hitachi G1000 Pocket PC Phone Edition has an integrated thumboard a la Treo, if that's what you're referring to, and it will be available soon from Sprint PCS (rumors place availability for this Friday).

I'm all over the Ipaq 1945 and can't wait to get rid of my Dell Brick. I pick that thing up in the morning and have to decide where I'm going to carry it. I suppose during the winter it would be easier but during the summer it is just ridiculous.

and as for the Hitachi...better get a man purse for that thing.
