Asus A626 3.5-inch PDA Windows Mobile 5.0, Wi-fi (802.11 B+g), Bluetooth 2.0 (edr), - MYPAL A626

Slow. Very Slow.

I had a Palm TX for 2 years, and loved it. But it died. The only additional functionality I wanted in a newer device was ability to play the Windows Media format, since most radio stations will only stream in that format. Unfortunately I bought, and had to return, the Asus A626. It ran extremely slow. I've seen other Windows Mobile devices in the store that run fast enough. But not this dog. Worst of all, it wouldn't play a WMA stream from a major radio station (CKLW), nor would it play any Shoutcast streams. I just bought a new Palm TX.

Love my pocket pc

I purchased this handy little gaget for my budding business. I looked into Pocket PC phones which are double the cost of this little unit. Plus added monthly fees. I own a Palm pilot and was hoping this would come close to it in performance. Let me just say, I was very impressed. Syncing is a cinch, navigating is great, I don't always have to use the stylus the touch screen reads fingertips very nicely. I enjoy that I can change from portrait to landscape, the Excel mobile is just perfect. I have not tried the wifi/internet yet as what I purchased it for isn't necessary to access the internet. This thing is 20 times better than my old Palm Pilot. It comes with a case, very nice. 2 stylus. I love the hold key to lock the buttons as I carry this in my purse. I compared it to the HPIpaq and I feel they are very similar but this one was the better choice for me as it was a bit cheaper but still had the power I wanted. It has a SD card slot and if you have a card reader (my laptop has one), loading your data directly onto the card makes syncing not necessary all the time. I was suprised it didn't come with a cradle like my Palm Pilot. However, I'm glad it doesn't have one, I can say I hate those things, I much perfer a cable. This little guy will also charge when plugged into your laptop (like an Ipod). Mine came with Windows Mobile 6.0. I'd recommend this to anyone looking for this power but doesn't want a Pocket PC phone and all it's expense and monthly outrageous fees.

asus a626 3.5 pda

this is an incredible pocket lap top, it's user friendly not many complications, just wish they'd install a stronger signal antenna inside the pda, it would make finding a internet connection so much easier, a great piece of equiptment to have that's more than compact.

Nice little device

Some difficulty to connect it with my home network (in fact, i didn't find out how to connect it on my network) but other than that work great.

The Asus A626 is just what I needed, I really can work with my Word and Excell documents anywhere I go, and the conection with Internet works perfectly.

I really recomend this PDA to anyone who works with Microsoft Word, Excell and Power Point.
