Review by Lutz Bendlin. HP have recently released half a dozen new Windows Mobile devices. The most interesting devices for our area are of course the ones with integrated GPS receiver. While the iPAQ and are still vaporware they won't be available until well into there is another iPAQ - the series - which has a GPS receiver built in and is specifically designed as a navigation device, or "PND".

Another difference is that the is actually available for purchase both in Europe and in the North American markets. Obviously the device itself. Then wall charger with adapters and cigarette lighter adapter. A carry case, and the mount. And a whole lot of interesting leaflets. All fans of the design of the iPAQ I hope I am not the only one here rejoice - the 45 degree edge is back.

It is running around the whole case of the iPAQ and gives the front of the device a very clean and fashionable look. I tried to "accidentially" open the device but haven't yet found a non-destructive way to do so. This speaks for the build quality of the case and raises concerns if I still got the mojo. The power button is on the front, and it protrudes from the case. This is bad. To add insult to injury, it also operates the wrong way around.

To put the device into standby remember, we are talking a Windows CE device here you have to press the button for a good five seconds. However, a very short press is sufficient to wake the device back up. This is a sure recipe for disaster if you carry the device around in your shirt pocket. When you get this warm feeling around the heart it will already be too late - the device will have been switched on inadvertently for an hour or so, and the battery will be drained just as you are about to need the device.

The iPAQ comes with a stylus which is housed in the upper left corner. The GPS antenna should obviously also be somewhere in that area. Completing the front design are the hole for the microphone and the Bluetooth status LED. You are well advised to generously apply black electrical tape or your favourite equivalent over this LED to avoid being permanently blinded. What were they thinking? The back of the device has this nice rubbery coating that makes it easier and nicer to hold the device.

You can get to the battery by sliding the cover plate down. Thankfully the battery is pretty standard the series use the same and it can be ordered from HP or third party vendors. Given the power button design mistake it may be a good idea to carry a charged extra battery with you. On the back the iPAQ has a very weak speaker. After a soft reset with the SD card inserted the device will boot into plain Windows CE and run your executable.

Also, the text-to-speech directions weren't as smooth as some of the other GPS devices we tested as it mangled and chopped up the pronunciation of some street names.

However, more concerning is the system's ineptitude at route recalculations. We missed a number of turns to test this functionality, and while the iPaq was quick to come up with new directions, they were completely circuitous.

Instead of coming up with a new route, it would try to have us go back to the point where we missed the actual turn instead of plotting a new course from our current location. Multimedia performance was mediocre. Given the soft-spoken directions, we weren't surprised to find that songs sounded weak and hollow through the systems speakers.

We experienced similar results with video, but on the upside, the audio and picture were always synchronized and picture quality was good. Bonnie Cha. View Local Inventory. The Good The HP iPaq Travel Companion is a sleek portable navigation system with a gorgeous screen, text-to-speech functionality, and integrated Bluetooth. It also displays 3D building renderings and has multimedia capabilities.

The iPaq was pretty awful at route recalculations, and the voice prompts weren't very loud or clear. Despite a sleek design and an attractive feature set, the HP iPaq Travel Companion shows an ugly side with inaccurate route recalculations and poor voice directions that makes us say pass for now.
