Does anybody own or have any experience with an iPaq3650 (and can thus give some advice on the quality and usefulness of such a device? My friend down the hall has a iPaq and I saw it last night and I'm amazed. I would definetely love to find one under my tree this year from what I know of them now.

That has to be one of the dumbest rip-off names I've heard recently...

Well, they are made by Compaq...

The name sucks...but that PDA is very good at showing things under sunlight. The Cassio ones though have a larger range in color..but why bother in a pda.

I just started work doing tech support a couple days ago. The only computers we have in the offices are iPaqs, but I can't remember the model number. I'll check soon enough, but the ones I played with today were pretty good. I like the compact look of the tower. I hate that it doesn't have a floppy drive (thus making it a complete rip-off of the iMac).
You better get that iPaq soon, though. Once the merger with Hewlitt-Packard is complete, the entire Compaq line of systems is going to be discontinued (at least that was the last I heard. It's possible that some of the lines may be retooled a bit and sold under the HP brand name).

Hewlett Paqard?

Wait a second...is the iPaq the PDA or some kind of desktop computer?
Posted by Omega (Member # 91) on :
Both.

Um, I'm referring to the PDA.
And what about the HP business? My laptop is an HP so might there be some benefit to waiting (as if the iPaq were to come into my life, it would most likely do so under an evergreen). Of course, the friend who has the iPaq has a Mac for a desktop, so I suppose it doesn't matter.
