HP iPAQ 4355 Pocket PC Now Shipping

I talked about the HP iPAQ 4355 Pocket PC in an article that appeared on Operation Gadget back in November. In it, I reported that the iPAQ 4355 was named one of PC Magazine's best products of Comdex, that it incorporated Bluetooth, WiFi, and a bright color display, and that it would begin shipping in January. Right on schedule, it's become available at Amazon.com.

Brighthand reviewed the iPAQ 4355 a couple of weeks ago. In the review, they pointed out that the keyboard is a welcomed edition to a Pocket PC device and that it has a directional keypad similar to that of the Treo 600. The display is bright but lower in resolution than some PDAs. The iPAQ 4355's WiFi works but has a range that is about 30 feet less than that of the Dell Axim X3i. Also, WiFi use consumes a lot of power, but this is the case with every device that uses it.

If you are interested in a product like this, I'd definitely recommend reading the review. It's well balanced, and provides some perspective on competing products. My conclusion after reading Brighthand's review is that I need to do some research into products like the PalmOne Tungsten C.
