My 3650 got run over by a car - so, by the rules, I won't post a picture

I think we need a new topic about destroyed PPCs :lol:

My first PDA was a Palm Pro in 1995. Over the 5 years I owned it I did RAM and ROM upgrades. In Sept of 2000 I moved to PPC and picked up the first ARM based Color PDA the iPAQ 3650 and I am still using it . The iPAQ will be updated when a PDA manufacture ships a PPC PDA with the following.

Microsoft PocketPC SE
An Intel CPU XScale CPU running at 520MHz
128MB RAM
64MB ROM
VGA 480x640 3.5” or 4.0” Display
WiFi
Bluetooth
1 SDIO slot no CF (CF makes a PDA to large)
And a form factor close to the iPAQ 4150

The Asus 730 looks like a close fit when it start shipping

My first Phone was a car mounted NEC analog AMPS phone back in 1985. I kept that for 12 years then upgraded to a Nokia 6160 TMDA phone in 1997. After 7 years with that phone I upgraded to a Nokia 6820 three weeks ago. The 6820 is a great phone that offers Bluetooth and GPRS/EDGE. That technology lets me surf the net just about anywhere at speeds up to 200Kb with out any wires using my laptop (over Bluetooth) or PDA (over IR until I get a new PDA).

My first portable computer was that luggable Compaq with the two 5 ¼ drives and a built in TTL amber monochrome display. I have had many laptops since then. The latest is an IBM T40 with built in WiFi A/B/G and Bluetooth that links to the new phone for internet access anywhere.

That was my first real PDA. Excellent device!

Oy, that 3650 belongs in a museum for sure! I owned a *3630* yeah, that's right, the *original* ipaq.... God, was it good. I even had the CF sleeve! Weighed a ton and cost me nearly 1500 guilders, but more then worth it.

My first Phone...

Wait, you mean to tell me you only had three cellphones; one of which was physically attached to your *car*?? 8O

Son, I think you took a wrong turn somewhere, you have no right to call yourself Geek Come back when you've had 15 devices and 10 cellphones like me. ;-)

Apparently I have some of the oldest "PPC"s

1. Here is my Convergent Technologies "WorkSlate" not sure if it is the basis for Laptops or PPC - but it is from November 1983...

note the mini-cassette storage

and the time is (sorry for poor quality - darn reflective screens)



2. Here is my IBM "WorkPad Z50" - with VGA back then.


and the screen show is

I use it mostly to read Ebooks on airplanes.

3. Here is my HP 200LX - with DOS, and Lotus Products ;-)

All my PPCs
Left to Right: IPAQ 4150, Toshiba e740, Casio Cassiopia E-115


All the units on:


All the units with today (bad flash):


Sorry for the bad pics, my skill is poor and the camera I think has some problems.

I upgraded my Casio E-100 to a 105 (OS upgrade) then to a 115 (replacement unit), I also used to have NEC MobilePro CE1.0 HPC but I gave it to my brother, I don't know if he still has it.

Welcome CapRiker. 8) Good to have you around. Scary avatar BTW! 8O :lol:

Here are some older pics of my Psion Revo, my Palm IIIc and my FS LOOX.



I still need to locate my Psion Sienna & take a pic of the Revo open & on.
