The best thing short of a laptop

byjtown Feb 3, 2001
13 Helpfuls 14 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Smaller than any laptop, standard expansion ports
Cons Voice recording sucks, CF slot should be CF-II, not CF-I.
Recommended it? Yes

I used to use a Toshiba Libretto but I got tired of lugging around the power supply and constantly hunting for a plug. After analyzing my use of the machine, I realized that I could switch to a handheld unit with a few adjustments.

So...which one to buy? Palm (and similar units) were out... Read full review »

A great machine for business people

Pros Vivid color, great programs, great synchronization, built in modem!!, sturdy, has a...
Cons A little big for your pocket :)
Recommended it? Yes

Of all my "gadgets", this machine is my favorite. I am a university student and I type out all of my notes on a desktop computer after I come back from lecture. This way, I re-enforce what I have just learned and come exam time, all I have to do is print the notes that I have already written. The... Read full review »

A Tale of Two Designs

10 Helpfuls 11 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Looks pretty
Cons cramped keyboard, bogus design
Recommended it? No

My quest for a portable began with the Jornada 680/690 leading the pack of potential candidates. I like the clamshell form factor because it provides a keyboard (being limited to stylus-only input really hampers your ability to enter text quickly). I also like the larger, more readable screen,... Read full review »

Good purchase - one of the best HPCs

bybitbank Aug 15, 2000
9 Helpfuls 10 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros speed, battery life, 56k modem
Cons passive LCD, small keyboard, flimsy PCMCIA/CF slot, speaker
Recommended it? Yes

I am a CE software developer and bought the 680 around a year ago to do software testing and use it as a portable email/internet machine. I've used/tested almost all of the available HPC/PPC's available and this is my favorite HPC. I'm not going to repeat the specifications, but just list my good... Read full review »

Great Work Tool

byItaly323 Jul 17, 2000
6 Helpfuls 7 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 1 Comment
Pros Great for its size
Cons For my purposes, none that I'm aware of
Recommended it? No

I've been using this little machine for the past year for work purposes only. It is extremely dependable and durable. I'm fortunate to have a zipper case to store and carry it around. I have dropped it quite a few times but I think being in its case (which it stays in all the time) has helped... Read full review »

HP 680: a good compromise

bytgjackson May 9, 2000
6 Helpfuls 7 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Display, keyboard, modem, battery life, size
Cons Compact flash and PCMCIA slot
Recommended it? Yes

I have been using the HP 680 for about 4 months now. I use it along side a larger Windows CE unit (IBM Z-50) and a Windows laptop (Toshiba 3010).

The unit is excellent for taking notes in meetings, or writing e-mail while away from the office. HP bundles a bunch of software with the unit,... Read full review »

Pros Small and lightweight
Cons No cons
Recommended it? Yes

This comment is about the jornada 690 as I cant find a category for it.

I recently purchased this product for travelling. Firstly its small enough to sit on a dinner tray when I'm flying so I can work and eat with with room to spare. It's lightweight and after previously dragging a laptop... Read full review »

byTechWiz Sep 23, 1999

Pros Small, great screen, good battery
Cons Useless voice recorder
Recommended it? Yes

I purchased a HP Jornada 680 for use as a wireless internet web browser. I also purchased a Sierra Wireless AirCard 300 from GoAmerica.com as part of a bundle they offer with a year of service. The short review is that it works great and I can now surf the internet wherever I go as long as coverage... Read full review »

The Ultimate PDA

4 Helpfuls 5 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Great keyboard, wide and wonderful color screen
Cons Oddly configured Compact Flash Card slot
Recommended it? Yes

Even though the Hewlett Packard Jornada 680 has been surpassed by later H/PC Professional models - the beefier 690 and the more robust 720 - it's better than most handhelds in the emerging market. With a 75-percent laptop size keyboard and excellent color screen, the 680 combines precision... Read full review »
