Full CNet review of 4700

[timmer]

Doesnt look like this will be my next PDA. CNet's pros and cons :

The good: Zippy 624MHz processor; 4-inch VGA screen; runs Windows Mobile 2003 SE; integrated Wi-Fi and Bluetooth; user-replaceable battery.

The bad: Bulky; touchpad is unintuitive and isn't always responsive; subpar video performance


So non-reponsive touchpad is no good for games and subar video performance too.

Looks fine here, do the laptops they review have a touch pad that where ever you drag your finger a windows scrolls around?! No there's trigger zones on the touch pad that allow the scrolling.

Then I had to laugh at the 49 user reviews for a product not even released :/

They seem to think it has only one card slot?

Ahmm...they keep promoting it, and priced accordingly, to the high end business people. They really do not care about games and video performance.....

Well, considering that the 4700 has a screen TWICE the size of the Axim, it has to draw 4 times the pixels. Gee, I wonder why the video performance isn't as good?

Wait until you start seeing VGA games, then the performance won't make any difference, because you will only have half the resolution on the Axim!
