Follow related website bookmark from Reddit: IAMA 27yo guy who hasn't owned a video game system since the Super Nintendo, never beaten any Super Mario Brothers, and my first dedicated MP3 player was an iPhone 3G. Fire away! I consider myself a typical 27 year old tech-savvy guy, and I'm on Reddit the majority of my day. Honestly the last video game system I owned was a Virtual Boy, but most agree it wasn't a viable VGS. I was terrible at Nintendo and resorted to Game Genie to help with my sense of accomplishment, even if it was fake. I never ever beat any of the SMBs, and took me about 9 hours to win Super Metroid with a Nintendo Power guidebook. I had an HP PDA with a flash card in it that I figured out how to use the Media Player to access MP3 files I dropped onto the card, but I abandoned it due to the fact that a PDA is terrible doubling as an MP3 player and held off on purchasing any MP3 players until Apple provided that amazing all-in-one iPhone product.
After reading Reddit for about 6 months I realized I'm obviously in some sort of minority when it comes to the expected hobbies of a guy my age. I only knew what Portal 2 was because I saw the TV commercials and spent 20 minutes in /r/games on Portal 2 day. I know I'm probably opening myself up for ridicule, but I'm normally made fun of because I don't know anything about W.O.W. more

computer gears: it's all my computer gears. From left to right: Western Digital My Book World Edition 500G network storage, Bose desktop speakers, HP 8510w Mobile Workstation with HP advanced docking station, Apple 30' Cinema Display, Logitech MX Revolution mouse, Logitech Dinovo Edge keyboard, Sony HDR-TG1 DV & Apple Macbook Pro 15' PDA, Round 3: This is the HP iPaq hx2490, which has now replaced my Palm TX as my PDA device.
In case you're curious, I actually had an HP iPaq rx3115 to start off in 2005, back when PDAs were in their glory days (it is very hard to find them anywhere anymore, as they have been replaced with smart phones and Blackberries). By the end of that year, it died and because I purchased the Best Buy extended coverage plan, I was able to exchange it with a Palm TX which had just come out (it's not that I hated Windows Mobile, but I really did want a Palm from the beginning, but at the time, Palm didn't made a device with built-in wifi, so I had to "settle" for the iPaq).
The Palm TX was feature-rich with wifi, Bluetooth, consumer-IR (versus shorter-range standard IR), 128MB memory, and a very nice 320x480 display. It was a great device and served me well, and was a life-saver when I had to keep track of items that were destroyed in my basement flood, as well as serving as a reliable secretary during both of our condo moves. This wasn't surprising as Palm's calendar, to-do list, note pad, and contact applications are stellar and it is a dream (and fast) to navigate through everything, especially during those emergencies when you have to access information quickly and easily, like while driving.
As great as it was for data management and syncing to a desktop PC, I found that the Palm fell below par in most other areas, particularly web browsing and character recognition. These are areas where Windows Mobile devices shine.
So what hapened to my Palm TX? A few weeks ago, it wouldn't power on. I managed to revive it eventaully, but then it permanently died a few minutes later. I still had a few months left on my extended coverage plan from Best Buy, so I took it back to them and they deemed that the device needed to be replaced with a new one.
Did I switch back to the Windows Mobile by choice? Not exactly. Palm has apparently discontinued production on the Palm TX, so Best Buy wasn't getting any more in stock. The only equivalent they had in stock (and this was a difficult process as they only had 2 remaining, both at a different location), was the HP iPaq hx2490. It was priced at $469.99. Since my Palm was $399.99 when I purchased it, and they couldn't get another one for me, they did a straight exchange on this one (after a bit of a dispute--thanks Melissa for helping me out on that!) ;) They wanted to give me a Palm Tungsten E2 as a replacement, but this model only has a square screen and no built-in wifi (but it did have Bluetooth and IR).
So after over 2 years since my first PDA purchase from Best Buy, I have myself a new one. Again. Without having to buy another one. However, this time I elected to not purchase the extended coverage, and will settle for HP's manufacturer warranty.

Here is what I love about the device so far:
-Windows Mobile 5. This is better in many ways than Windows Mobile 2003 SE I had on my first iPaq, and much, much more modern than Palm OS 5.4 which I had on my Palm TX. I don't really like the new 2 soft buttons at the bottom of the screen versus the old grey menu bar, but the way the OS handles persistent memory and file storage is a huge upgrade over 2003 SE. The Today screen is much-improved, too.
-The screen. Great contrast, colour, brightness, and it has that slippery feel when you write on it with the stylus. Palm's screen was dull, rubbery-feeling, attracted a lot of dust, and horrible to use outdoors. Even though this screen is only 240x320, versus the Palm's 320x480, It's better overall.
-Text entry. Palm has Graffiti 2, which is horrible. It shouldn't be a challenge at all, but more times than not, the system decided to interpret my "t"'s as "i ." There was a hack where you could install the far-superior Graffiti 1, but it had a bad conflict with the Blazer browser, so it wasn't an easy trade-off. Windows Mobile has Transcriber (cool but flaky to use sometimes), character recognizer (exactly like Graffiti 2 only reliable), block recognizer (similar to Graffiti 1), and keyboard entry. But even keyboard entry is better in Windows Mobile because you have mouse gestures which makes it super-easy to capitalize characters.
-Applications. I was extremely disappointed by the Palm's lack of solid applications when I got it 2 years ago. The Blazer web browser was a joke for browsing anything but text, VersaMail was flaky sometimes, Adobe Acrobat Reader was nothing short of an insult, and there weren't a lot of "cool" applications available. Right away with my new iPaq, I got Google Maps for mobile, which is fast, pretty, and amazing in every way. Adobe Acrobat Reader is wonderful on Windows Mobile. Again, something I really missed when I first switched to the Palm version.
-Voice recording. I missed this feature when I didn't have it on my Palm. Even if I don't use it much, it's good to know it's there.
-SD and CF slots. My cameras use one or the other, and now I can copy images from both and see them on the screen right away!
-128MB memory. It's good to have a lot of memory when running any Windows system, big or small! My palm also had 128MB, which was almost overkill, but this device really needs the space!
Now, for the bad:
-It is Windows, meaning that my Mac won't sync with it. Unless I sync it while running Windows on my Mac! Or... I could get 3rd party Mac software like "The Missing Sync."
-It uses Outlook for syncing mail, tasks, notes, calender items and contacts. I was never a big fan out Outlook, but I think I'll switch to it at work, even though I really love Thunderbird. I might install Outlook at home, too, but maybe just for everything except email.
-it is large. I actually hated this model when I saw it in stores, but now that I actually use it, it doesn't feel so large. It does have a nice rubbery grip surrounding the entire case, so that might save it if I ever drop it! It feels good in my hand, too.
-Data entry. While I love Windows Mobile for all its different text entry options, actually entering data can be frustrating. It just takes too long. Too much scrolling, clicking, all while having to use the stylus. And then finding your information afterwards. It's very desktop-computer like, but because you're not using a desktop, it can be slow. Palm was far superior in this aspect with its incredibly fast and simple PIM apps.
That is all. Now... time to play!
Photos comments: Brianwolk: P.S. Yes it does feel weird getting a new PDA (without a built-in phone), this being 2007, as opposed to a smart phone, but I'm in no hurry to pay $45/month for a data plan or being stuck with a sub par device. And my cell phone still doesn't strike me as a serious PDA device.. Marcalindsay: I'm jealous! I liked my original Palm IIIxe back in the day. When I got my first IPAQ from work, I missed palm. When that went and I made the jump to the Palm TX I really wished I had my IPAQ back. If you don't like it let me know, I'll gladly trade ya!. Best of Pda hp web site 1.

You Te the devastator on Drek, he is impossible otherwise. You can beat the first 2 forms withouting it, but you cannot beat his later forms without it so I t thought I might as welle it the entire battle rather than saving it for later. The PDA is required bece you don't have enough ammo. I have no HP upgrades or gold weapons. I recorded myselfom when I bought the devastator to the final level to prove I beat the game withouting it to fight the enemies in the levels, I onlyed it for puzzles. ~Sonics Shadow

As part of my Bsc Final Year Project, I was trying to develop a system which enables 2e a laptop as if it has a 2 Axis Accelerometer (X, Y). In this demonstration I am controlling a Panda 3D Sample Gameing the movement of the laptop. My Laptop is a HP G62 which doesn't have a built-in accelerometer (Most Laptops Don't Have one).This can also beed in Tablets, Pads, PDA or t about anythingputer that has a built in Camera. Of course the accuracy needs to be improved. This application doesn't track one particular feature such as hand or head butes optical flow calculated between 2 different images. Developeding OpenCV Pyramidal Lucas and Kanade Implementation. For this no special hardware or markers required pure software based implementation. Please put forward yourments. Related Videos :
