Change the name of this board to "HP Jornada 560 Series"

I think you are limiting the discussion by having the title of the board only refer to the 567. The 568 is far more widely used anyway. And I love my 568! its one of the best PDAs Ive ever had, and Ive had quite a few. Things I love most about it are (in order): 1. Battery life! The 568 has the best battery life of any PDA ive used, and thats just with the standard battery. When I put on the extended battery I can go on a 12 hour plane trip to Japan without recharging once. Thats damn good! And thats running feature-length movies off the 512mb Ultra-CF card too! 2. Its relatively thin and very light! no brick here...fits in my pocket and still has a CF slot. 3. The flip cover. Awesome for protecting the screen. All PDAs should have this as an option. 4. Internal Flash Backup. Another must-have! non-volatile uncorruptible FlashROM backup for contacts calendar and other crucial things. (like Quake saved games!:) 5. General button design and layout. Very inutitive! Very nice! The overall design just oozes class. 6. The camera is great! The picture quality isnt even half bad. Plus I can Bluetooth and Wi-Fi in the CF slot to use my T68i as a GPRS modem, and surf the web anywhere! 7. Its not X-Scale! Yes thats right, I wanted a NON-Xscale PDA, because none of my software Ive bought over the years will work with an X-scale unit yet!! Totally lame! I know, I know, eventually they will all catch up and release X-Scale versions (at major increased upgrade prices Im sure), but until then Im sitting pretty with a PDA I love that runs everything I ask it to without a hitch. Now of course, there are some things I wish for: 1.A transflective screen 2.An SD/MMC slot (I know, you can use the MMC battery, but its pretty damn slow) 3.Built-in WiFi and Bluetooth (I know I know, Im dreaming) Those things would be nice. But, considering I got it brand new for 300$ at CompUSA's blowout, I cant complain about any of those things. In fact for the battery life alone its worth any of them!! Sure its discontinued, but it will serve me well for a long while yet. |
