FEELER: hp iPAQ hx4705 ppc pda

[scarlco]

Anyone interested in this fine example of pocket pc goodness? I've had it for about 5 months - would like to switch to a 12" ibook or something along those lines.

Features:
4" TFT display, VGA
624 mhz processor
wi-fi
bluetooth
sd-ram
compact flash
usb cradle
ac adaptor
Windows Mobile 2003 2nd edition (upgrade to new version will be offered soon, so I hear)

Included:
Sena leather case w/ belt clip
Magnesium case w/ belt clip
USB power sync travel kit (hp oem kit - includes car & wall adaptors, multi-country)
128mb sd-ram
512mb UltraII compact flash

This unit works great, retains an excellent charge on the battery, and is incredibly useful. Syncs great with markspace's missing sync, now that they've released the Tiger version. I've actually found that it syncs better to the mac than it does to the pc - but that's a personal opinion.

The only reason I'm thinking of selling this is I'd like to put the sale towards an iBook of the 12" G4 flavor. I've quickly learned that the Mac is like a drug, and I've become addicted. Now, I need to get my fix on the road. In some other thread, someone had said that the mini is a gateway - soon you'll be heading for the hardcore. Well... guilty!

So, is anyone interested? And if so, what do ya think I can get? (Sorry for the bad pic - tough to get a good one showing the display in action)

I'm interested. $150?

Thanks for the offer... but that's a bit on the low side. I originally paid $700 for this earlier this year, and the going price on ebay is in the neighborhood of $400 w/ no accessories. I'm willing to take the loss on those accy's, but not so much on the overall price.

Still, thank you for the offer, though.

Is that really so crazy? I'm just using ebay sales (completed transactions) as a guide...

Mind you, this unit isn't your plain 'ol pda... for one, it's got a true vga screen, with a resolution of 640X480. Although most apps don't utilize it yet, there are some that do - and they look GREAT. Comparable to the psp, I would say. Plus, you can get a hack app that forces most apps to display in vga, making web surfing so much nicer - albeit a bit small. (most pda's use qvga, which is 320X240, depending on the physical screen size, of course.)

Also, the thing is just darned fast, so games actually play well. And video plays well, too.

$150 was a huge lowball offer skoker.

Not intended as a self-bump, but i'm gonna throw this up on ebay tomorrow if no interest is generated here. Really want to get myself an ibook. Spoiled... impatient... whatever. Regardless, I thought i'd offer to the mr camp before heading to ebay.
