It wants to be a portable media player, and to that effect it’s got a funky design, compact form factor, multimedia features and more memory than is usually included on a PDA. But other kids in the schoolyard like the iPod and Creative Zen Vision:M - who cost the same amount - are much bigger and stronger than the rx4540 is. The rx4540’s lack of media playback buttons are its chief shortcoming, and while 1GB of memory is indeed a lot for a Pocket PC, it’s chump change compared to the equivalently-priced iPod, which has eighty times that amount of storage."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/web/2003/hisham-20061113-ipaq4540.jpg" /><br /><br />Jenneth at GirlsGoneMobile.net has completed her review of the rx4540 Mobile Media Companion (check out their photo review <a href="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/index.php?topic_id=52271">here</a>), and her conclusions appear to be spot on based on the comments made in our forums - it really doesn't offer enough to be more than a niche device. Looks like back to the drawing board for HP!
