The best thing short of a laptop

Date of Review:  Feb 3, 2001
The Bottom Line: If you want long run-times and don't need to do massive data crunching, this thing is great.
Review: 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.

A Tale of Two Designs

Date of Review:  Jan 14, 2000
Review: 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)...

A great machine for business people

Date of Review:  Aug 29, 2000
Review: 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...

Good purchase - one of the best HPCs

Date of Review:  Aug 15, 2000
Review: 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...

HP 680: a good compromise

Date of Review:  May 9, 2000
Review: 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...

Great Work Tool

Date of Review:  Jul 17, 2000
Review: 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...

A Great Little Handheld

Date of Review:  Jun 5, 2000
Review: 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...

Jornada 680 Wireless Internet

The Ultimate PDA

Date of Review:  Mar 29, 2001
The Bottom Line: Why buy a laptop when you can own an HP Jornada 680? It can do almost the same job yet without the hassle of booting up to check your schedule.
Review: 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...
