Hewlett Packard Jornada 548

The HP Jornada 548 is slim, rugged, easy to use, and comes loaded with dozens of useful features. A full-colour miniaturisation of Windows 98, Pocket PC comes preloaded with such handy features as Pocket Word, Pocket Excel, and Pocket Money. The drag-and-drop interface, complete with pop-up start menu, will be immediately familiar to anyone who's used a PC in the past five years. We put the Jornadas' lithium- ion battery through its paces and consistently got four to five hours of hard use, but this included frequent MP3 playback that ate up battery power. The TFT colour screen only supports only 12-bit colour (4,096 colours), not the 16-bit colour (65,536 colours.) We found the screen a bit streaky but otherwise fine, and snapshots display clearly.
