Mar 18 Acer n311 PDA Review
Found in: Mobile News, PDA, Pocket PC, Reviews,

Acer has definitely cracked the PDA form factor with this compact little device. Measuring a 14mm thick and weighing 135g, it is one of the thinnest and lightest PDAs we have seen, yet it still feels pleasantly solid in the hand. Quality again describes the screen. To start with, it's large, dominating the surface area of the PDA, and with a 480 x 640 resolution and a bright backlight photos look superb.

The Acer n311 is based on Samsung S3C2440 processor which runs at 400 MHz. Acer n311 features 64 MB RAM and it offers 128 MB ROM. It features also Bluetooth 1.2 and has built-in Wi-Fi 802.11b connectivity.

Acer n311 runs Windows Mobile 5.0 operating system and has SDIO capable SD/MMC card expansion slots, as well as USB 1.0 with Host support for transferring data from compatible devices such as portable hard drives or digital cameras.

This Acer's PDA features the full line-up of software available from Microsoft for the platform, including the newly overhauled Office Mobile suite comprised of Excel, PowerPoint and Word Mobile plus Outlook 2002 for your PC. Also present is Windows Media Player 10 Mobile. Acer has also chosen to bundle Pocket TV Enterprise Edition, an application for playing back MPEG1 encoded video content.

Information concerning the expected availability and pricing of the Acer n311 was not available at this time.

Jan 26 BenQ P50 PDA Phone on Sale in UK
Found in: Devices, Smartphone, PDA,

It's been over a year since BenQ announced the gorgeous P50 at CES2005. It's finally on sale in the UK. The wait has been worth it. The P50 is touted as the PDA phone for business users with sophisticated taste. Let's try and figure out why.The Benq P50 perfectly integrates business and entertainment functions into a Wi-Fi enabled PDA phone.

The GSM (quad-band 850/900/1800/1900 MHz) P50 runs on Microsoft's Windows Mobile 2003. It's powered by an Intel PXA272 416Mhz processor and packs-in 64MB of SDRAM and 64MB of Flash ROM. That's a powerful platform to run on. The display is a generous 2.83" QVGA TFT LCD with touch screen and supports a resolution of 240 x 320. It's quite compact at 122 x 60 x 20 mm and weighs a 170 grams.

The integrated 1.3 megapixel camera with 4x digital zoom takes care of your mobile photography needs.Camera features extras as adjustable brightness, contrast, white balance and special effects. The P50 can handle most of the major audio/video formats for playback. You can even set MP3 clips to be your ringtones. Connectivity options are aplenty. You can choose from WLAN, GPRS, Bluetooth, IrDA, USB, and SDIO. It comes with all the standard applications that you would expect out of a PDA/Phone. Talk time is estimated at 4 hours and standby time at 120 hours.



It has a strong desire to please the business-suited among us too. Windows Mobile’s ActiveSync will take care of keeping your contacts and calendar up-to-date, and there’s all the usual viewing and editing of Word, Excel and Powerpoint docs via the trusty QWERTY keyboard.

You can purchase your BenQ P50 now if you can shell out £365 for the handset only or for free with some hefty Vodafone contracts from Expansys.com .
