Redefining the Impossible

HP Ipaq rx1950 stylus bodge


I found a solution to the problem of the stylus of my HP ipaq rx1950 pocketpc falling out that is better than putting it in the case 'upside down'. If you take the battery cover off, there is a little piece of plastic in there with a dent in that is supposed to click into a groove in the stylus. If you carefully craft a small piece of paper to jam in between the battery cover and this piece of plastic you can place more pressure on the stylus and grip it more tightly.

DO you think it is a good deal to buy an ipod nano? would a pocket pc be a better purchase?

The iPod nano is a fine player, very easy to use and it works nicely with iTunes. It has some little games built in and I think it is supposed to play videos but the screen is tiny and useless for video. It is also worth considering that mine came with 8G of flash (2000 or so tracks) and that would not be cheap to add to a pocket pc. The nano is much smaller than a pocket pc, I use it in a shirt pocket and it is hardly noticable. Battery life is great, about three days on one charge.

However, if you want to watch videos, surf the internet, use skype, whatever as well as then the pocket pc would be the way to go.
