In Pocket PC, there is one curious feature. This is not the most necessary in life you get used to typing so that later you can not exist without it. The store looks like a PDA fanciful fun, prestigious toy, a trifle expensive. In fact, it can, the size of a cigarette case pustyakovina? But then, played enough pleasure, running on the line all the applications downloaded from the Internet even a hundred programs (which, clearly, decisively better than those that are included with the computer, but only because once their superiority is difficult to see), you begin to understand - the thing in general, useful. Well, there are books to read, drive at your leisure shahmatishki ... A week later, casually forgetting typewriter at home, runs into a real depression. Turns out to be without a computer in your pocket, life becomes flat and gray. Nothing better to do on the subway. There is nothing to hit at the heart nekompyuterizirovannyh passers-by. Nothing to remind yourself of the extraordinary break. And you have to glance wistfully at the sides, to dispense with envious looks, and most contrary to process ... Rotten business. Maybe hang it around his neck - not to forget? Are the same woman expensive jewelry, but to us, it turns out, can not? Pocket computer - one of the optional gizmos that can love. As an old fountain pen (terribly rare, the work of the Mr Parker, who personally bought about two years in a luxury boutique "Schoolboy" for twenty dollars). As a type species Ericaceae tube. As a brass gold cigarette lighter "Zippo". Over time, a small computer turns into a real nurse. He wakes up, and customize, and writes on a tiny screen you want, and important words. "Life is short, a little patience." How sweet, huh? This Knyshev - Screen PDA with love ...;)

Let's talk about accessories for PDAs ... Just got a whole series of new stuff for a wonderful machine Jornada 568 by Hewlett-Packard. This is one of the best handheld Pocket PC 2002 family. He is so good that he can be forgiven and high costs, and some (very minor) flaws. Besides all these "thingies", "pumpochki" and "pribambasinki" give Jornada bright individuality. Even in the apparently not hurt either. First numbers it going "electric". Namely - the adapter to connect your computer to the car and attached is an additional battery. Firefox is definitely helpful. The problem of food for Pocket PC 2002, in general, and for the Jornada 568, in particular, one of the most acute and intractable. Six (okay, let eight) hours of battery life, which in practice is reduced almost by half or, lacking, perhaps, for the alarm clock and reading electronic books. Play games, watch video or listen to music for the polymer lithium battery Jornada - things ruin. Not without reason, the most popular homemade products for all Pocket PC (not only for the Jornada) are the external power supply for cell replacement format AA. Simple device, but it looks archaic and ungraceful. On the other hand solves the problem, podzaryazhaya shrunken the battery when the electric grid is unavailable.

Power adapter from the onboard vehicle network device Nemudrenye, compact (pocket not draw it) and beautiful. Just insert the plug into the cigarette lighter and the adapter itself - attached to a system connector Jornada. Everything went charging ... However, I always like something scary. Voltage on-board vehicle network happens to be jumping and varies from model to model. But what if "vparim" our current Jornada 15 instead of 12? Not puffed? Although cars are unlikely to respect. There's tension is controlled by your, car computer.In the sense - perhaps ...

But an additional external battery from the HBO-Pi ", I mean from Hewlett-Packard, the thing is absolutely safe and necessary. This is the same as full-time, polymer battery clipped to the back of the PDA and significantly increases the battery life. I'm not inclined to doubt the statements reliable company, so do not hesitate to bring this amazing figure. Coupled with an additional battery Jornada 568 can operate continuously 28 hours ... (!) No matter how much it cost the battery, but without it does not seem to get along. Only here the dimensions of the Jornada (already not very small) increase almost by half - thickness. On keyboards is a special subject. Pocket PC form factor Palm size essentially devoid of the keyboard, as intended more for reading than for writing. It's true - it is this machine and we need (because it is so and gain). But when it comes to scribbles to write in Graffiti or pounding the tiny keys on-screen virtual keyboard, the thought creeps in - did not give a blunder. Do not hurry, choosing besklaviaturny model? Statements such as "do not like the small keys because of their size kalkulyatornoy" I do not believe. In any case, it is pressed even if small, but the hardware buttons than the sight passive manipulator in the softkeys. Understand that the controversial statement. On the other hand, large folding keyboard for operational uncomfortable. To expand the keyboard like the Go Type or similar software, you need a solid surface. Pocket typewriter while transformed into a kind of notebook, and quite miserable - because of the small screen size and lack of high-capacity drives. That is to write short notes or addresses to lay out large keypad will not try, but for serious work with text is better to take with a laptop. How can that be? Refer to miniature attachable keyboard, which, at not a very convincing first impression in practice are quite comfortable - for a set not too long texts or phone numbers.

New Attachable Keyboard Hewlett-Packard different unusual execution. This is not a unit that connects to the system connector and the cap covering the top PDA. The keyboard is connected to either connector COM-port or the bus USB. Covering the body frame machine is equipped with hinged lid - to protect the screen. The lower part of the structural elements - compact keyboard with a full set of keys and layout QWERTY. Keys figured droplets - stretched vertically. This ergonomically designed, and just beautiful. Fingers just hit the right keys and the keyboard does not seem cumbersome.

At the lower end of the keyboard lock is installed - retractable strap, whereby the keyboard connector is joined to the system, combining it with a computer in one unit. Side - the power button (regular close button keyboard itself). The design looks quite solid, and the mechanism of the connection allows to quickly remove the keyboard ... The next type of attachable to the Jornada 568 devices - additional slots for removable flash memory cards and peripherals made in their format. The thing that is installed on your computer slots CompactFlash Type I suffice for most applications, but not for everyone.Here's the situation - you use a digital camera, MP3 player or any other digital device (voice recorder, video camera), using the memory card or MultiMedia card PC card (they are used in professional digital photographic equipment). Rapid exchange of information without connecting to a desktop or laptop computer can not - unless, of course, the digital device does not have an infrared port.

The first adapter - a removable structure, attached to the bottom of the hull Jornada, the top end which is installed slot size MMC. The adapter connects to the system connector, looks like an extra battery (almost exactly coincident with it in size). In general, attached is a slot for MMC card is more convenient than the "jackets" for computers iPAQ, not so much increasing the size of a computer. But another, more universal, the design of the adapter on the size Jornada affects the most fatal way. True, new features are worth it, because the adapter lets you connect to a PC Card MultiMedia card and PC card immediately (regular CompactFlash with no abolishes - the disposal of the user there are card slots for memory and peripheral devices of three physically incompatible formats).

MMC-PC adapter attached to the system connector is located at the bottom of the computer case, agreeing with them by size. Unpleasant feature that the thickness of a computer doubles (or almost half). But the design is very elegant and visually machine does not spoil. MMC slot is located at the side of the adapter, PC card - the top end. Handy thing for those who actively uses different types of portable digital technology. And perhaps, for those who look at the Jornada 568 large volumes of information. Yet rewritten to a memory card format PC card large table, a photo album or a compilation of texts of a fast and reliable on a laptop - a built-in slot, or on the desktop - through an external or built-in adapter PC card. We should not forget about the additional opportunities Adapter - card reader MMC, recorded on machines Palm, reading music from MP3 player cards based on flash memory, using various peripherals, made in the format PC card - modems, network cards, GPS modules, and more another that produced for laptops in recent years (with appropriate driver support their work on the Pocket PC family of Pocket PC 2002, which is the Jornada 568) ... We conclude, perhaps not the most necessary, but most enjoyable - handbags and carry pouch. At this time, Hewlett-Packard offers the cingulate handbag made of leather and leather cover, too-case.

In her purse nothing tricky. Flap valve with soft Velcro "fasteners", the vertical loop for attaching to your belt. Dimensions handbags coincide exactly with the size Jornada - the computer will not hang, but with additional devices in the bag will not fit. For me (because of the outrageous thickness) is not particularly relevant. But - more attractive. I do not lose it?
Cover-case resembles popular covers for computers Palm. The right half leather bag - with a large inset "fasteners" (still Jornada is not a Palm).Two sticky rectangle with outer side of which is a layer of loops "fasteners", glued to the computer chassis. As a result of machine is easy to fix in the case and is easy to remove.

The left half of the TIR-box fitted with a large pocket for papers and five pockets for a set of cards or electronic cards. Comfortable, well-executed case, it is in the style Jornada ... hard to say which of the following you like, and what to leave untouched. I brought an extra battery (28 hours - fantastic!) And the combined adapter for MMC and PC card ... keyboard? Maybe. But the question of price - how many requests for this joke sellers. If a hundred dollars, then it may very well be. And if more? But in general should just share a laptop and pocket PC. Each of them has its own purpose. They are great to complement each other - I think no less effective than a PDA and a desktop computer. But to write great articles on the PDA? .. Why not? Remember Sholom Aleichem? If you really want and can not, then - you can. And like, no strength. Even if it is, this unusual keyboard, pull all the two hundred dollars:) unsweetened live Pocket PC owner. Too much temptation ... The authors, translation:
