A New World of Possibilities

by Seymour Bronson

If you have ever bought any technological gadget, then you know how quickly they can become obsolete.

One great example of technology moving forward is the Compaq iPAQ Pocket PC 3835. It was remarkable for the time that it was produced and still to this day many people carry around these Pocket PCs. It contained pc software that was meant to run on hand held devices. The 3835 featured 64 MB of RAM and 32 MB of ROM to help move those software programs along. It also featured a 240 x 320 color screen that was the top of the line at that time.

The 3835 had the fastest StrongARM processor at 206 MHz and featured an expansion slot for additional capabilities to add software and hardware. It was a great palm pocket pc to own and use, but along came Hewlett-Packard’s buy out of Compaq and suddenly a new world of possibilities opened up. The 3900 series models featured a faster XScale processor and offered more available features and programming.

The biggest turn for Compaq/HP has come in the way of the pocket pc Smartphone.

Alas, technology never stays stagnant and time has shown this methodically. The Compaq iPAQ Pocket PC 3835 was eclipsed by the newcomer, the 3900 series. The 3900 series featured all of the same wonderful items as the 3835, but offered more memory and faster processing speeds. Even now, the 3900 series is becoming obsolete as new products are making their debut. Whatever model you are looking at, you can count on the fact that a new model will be around the bend just as soon as you make that purchase.

This Smartphone is a great blend of the cell phone and pocket pc. As other companies have shown, more people want to combine their pocket PCs and their capabilities of making and receiving calls and turn it all into one amazing pocket pc phone. This does not even factor in the added advantages of getting a camcorder and camera, plus Bluetooth and Wi-Fi capabilities.

The computer that you bought today will be replaced and obsolete within a year. That can be extremely frustrating for those individuals who want to have the latest models that are better, faster and carry more memory than the previous versions. It keeps us wanting to buy the next brand or item on the market. One of the best examples of technology that has people reaching for their wallets is the Compaq iPAQ Pocket PC. It was once the best of the best for its time.
