Getting Mobile with Mobile Technologies

Life comes at you fast, especially in the realm of technology where there are terms that are continuously flying at you. Some have dual meanings, such as mobile technologies. Mobile technology can refer to a dual-action processor and it can refer to the mobile gadgets, such as PDAs, pocket PCs and Smartphones. We are living in a mobile age and if you are going to stay in contact with your home and work, then you must be able to be contacted no matter where you are.

You have to stay abreast of technological terms if you hope to understand the latest techno-gadgets that are available on the market. Sure, there will be some terms that apply to more than one thing, but it never hurts to learn all you can about technology, for when it comes time to make your hand-held purchase.

One example of mobile technologies is the HP iPAQ Pocket PC HX4700. This piece of machinery is top of the line when it comes to mobile technology. It has received rave reviews from panels, such as those found on www.cnet.com. CNET gives the HX4700 an editorial rating of 7.9, which is excellent. It gives a user rating of 7.3, which is still considered great among consumers. But why has it received such rave reviews?

The reviews come from its outstanding performance and speed. The HX4700 is operating on Windows Mobile 2003 2nd Edition and has the capabilities of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, along with a 624 MHz XScale processor from Hewlett Packard.

The downside to the HX4700, is in it's size. It is a bit bulky, but is still a very sleek pocket PC. There is a small handicap present when the user first operates the new touchpad and this can translate into poor gaming, for those that use their pocket PC for gaming in particular. If you are in the market for a pocket PC for gaming purposes, then you may want to turn to Dell's Axim.
