The new HP iPAQ rx1950 targets mostly new users of Pocket PCs. You will not be spellbound by its performance but its well-designed case contains everything you would expect from a Pocket PC of this category. In addition there is a bonus of integrated WiFi. So if you are considering buying your first Microsoft-based system Pocket PC right now, you should not leave out this iPAQ in your considerations.

Hewlett-Packard has always been one of the main innovators in the Pocket PC field. But contrary to the past, not all innovations or even whole devices are now received as positively as a few years ago. Smaller or bigger objections are more likely nowadays. But when looking at the new Pocket PC with the HP logo on its hood, that is HP iPAQ rx1950, it fortunately seems to me that at least in the introductory level devices HP abandoned all experiments and used what was proven. That is definitely good news.

By using a concept that has previously been tested and which targets new or less demanding users, also means that we can hardly find anything surprising or even shocking in this HP iPaq. But that is more or less a feature so we need to put up with it.

What is in the Package?
There is no need to waste time describing the coloured box itself. Anyway, it will end up somewhere on the shelf, in the cellar or even in the bin. But first you should probably take out the the contents, which are:

HP iPAQ rx 1950 device
1100 mAh Li-Ion battery
AC adapter
USB sync cable
Simple protective case
CD-ROM including Outlook 2002 and bonus applications
Quick start guide
Warranty card
Voucher for software at iPAQ Choice
Available accessory leaflet

Except for the device itself, which we are going to describe later, the box contains only the very basic stuff. The battery is supplied separately, which apart from anything else means it is replaceable. As is common for HP, the AC adapter is one-piece only, without replaceable plugs for different sockets. The cord is long enough, 180 centimetres should be sufficient to the nearest socket for everybody. The communication with a PC is done through a 120 centimetres long USB cable containing also the connector for the AC adapter – there is no separate adapter for direct charging.

iPAQ is a Pocket PC so very few will use at one place only. To prevent damage during transport, there is a protective case included in the box, the same one as supplied with h4150. Technically speaking, it is a nylon banner with soft lining protecting the device from scratching. The banner creates a pocket sewed on both sides with elastic fabric. There is no belt clip. In other words it is a very simple case which, however, fulfils its purpose.

Now we are getting to the end of our short list. You will find only a bare minimum of applications on the supplied CD, it contains more or less the bonuses from Microsoft only. HP has been instead offering a voucher for its iPAQ Choice web shop for a certain time where you can exchange the voucher for a few applications of your own choice. Furthermore, the box contains just some leaflets, a short guide for beginners and warranty information. That is to say the box contains only the necessary stuff you cannot do without. Anything else is an unnecessary luxury which rises the price but nobody prevents you from buying the missing equipment :)
