HP h1910, Dell Axim X5 and ViewSonic V35 Reviewed on Tech TV
http://www.techtv.com/callforhelp/products/story/0,24330,3416114,00.html
I just watched the review on The ScreenSavers. They spent a lot of time comparing video but also touched on other issues. I can't get to the site right now but if you are in the market for a $250-$299 Pocket PC, you might want to head over and check the review out.
Update: The site is back up and the link is now a direct link.

Yeah I thought they did a good job comparing the pros and cons. I really like the little ipaq and if I werent such a glutton for punishment ( I need help) I would have that instead of my 5455

Gawd! Lets hope Leo didnt do the review, the dolt! Id listen to Martin's advice first!
I dont have it recorded, but Ill try to catch it. Leo is the same idiot that was answering a callers question about Video CDs, and he made the statement that SVCD's used MPEG-1 so it wouldnt be better than a VCD. Not to argue the quality issue, but we all know that SVCD is MPEG-2 CODEC. :-)

Well, after seeing the dropped frames from all the X-scale processors, I am glad I have held on to my Jornada 568 
Until there is a very significant performance improvements over 206 mhz Strongarm-based PPC's, i'll be holding off on the upgrade (though the screens on the Axims sure look nice and aren't dusty).

Yeah real fair comparison
How can they CHOOSE the DELL over the IPaq 1910 200 Mhz and the Viewsonic 300Mhz????????????
EASY!!!!!!
The Dell model was the 400 MHZ HIGH END MODEL !!
What the hell kind of apples to oranges comparison was that!!
The ipaq 200 mhz blew the pants off of the viewsonic (300mhz) in all their "benchmarks". But go figure........ The dell model was their winner, IT WAS THE 400 MHZ HIGHER END MODEL! You think they can mention a little disclaimer.
Stupid review, very disappointed in TSS.

TechTV did something really bad here, They did not use PocketMVP which does have XScale optimizations! I maybe drop about 200 frames in a 30 minute 30fps 320x240 divx on my 400mhz axim. In reality, if you are happy with a StrongArm PPC, stay with it. The Raw Power of the 400mhz XScale is not much greater (By Intels own tests).
I just wished Apples MHZ != Performace ads sunk in to people better when they had them.

anyone compare the screen quality -3970 vs 5450?
I saw the 1910 and compared it to the 3970 and it appeared to my old eyes that the 1910 was a tad more sharper, brighter, and had deeper colors...
but I have yet to see the 5450 in person...
probably doesn't matter...I think I'll wait for one with the new bus...anyway...
thanks
