HP iPaq rx1950 may not be the latest PDA on the market but it still one of the best feature rich PDA i have ever encountered compare to the price. HP spruces up its entry-level handheld line with the HP iPaq rx1950 model, a slim and light PDA that doesn't cut corners on performance or battery life, with class-leading results. Armed with the latest Windows Mobile 5 operating system, the rx1950 can be a pocket office on the road but skimps on a few features here and there, most notably Bluetooth. At $300, however, the rx1950 costs half that of high-end business PDAs, so if you're on a budget and you're OK with the lack of Bluetooth, then the HP iPaq rx1950 is a perfectly capable handheld.

Despite having one of the slowest clock speeds of a PDA on the market, Samsung's 300MHz processor powers the HP iPaq rx1950 to the head of the class, making it one of the fastest devices of its kind. It may run at 300MHz vs. 624MHz for Intel's XScale PXA270, but raw speed isn't everything, because the rx1950 was faster at synchronizing with a host computer than the bigger and much more expensive HP iPaq hx2790. It can churn through data about as quickly as other Windows Mobile 5 PDAs costing twice as much, regardless of whether it's editing an Excel spreadsheet, reading e-mail, or viewing a presentation.
