IPAQ – the PDA - trials and tribulations

Hello good morning and welcome to Cybersurf – a weekly look at what’s happening in our neck of the Cyberwoods. I am your Cyberhost, Steven Lang – this week taking a look at the PDA – short for personal digital assistant. What we are really talking about are those flat rectangular devices that look sort of like cell phones but in fact serve the purpose of diary, e-mail client and much more.

About a year ago I bought an IPAQ 1940 with a windows operating system on it. I threw away my paper diary and loaded up all my info on the little flat screen. For about nine months I was thrilled. It worked like a dream, it was much smaller than my paper diary and carried far more information – including voice recordings, songs, photographs and full length books.

Then one day I woke to find the screen had cracked. Sure that it was still under guarantee, I took it in for repairs and so began a very unhappy experience. I will not bore you with the painful details, but I invited Paul Boshoff, Personal Services Group country manager for HP to find out if this is what we are to expect.

And with that we wrap up today’s edition of Cybersurf – thanks for listening and be sure to join me again next Monday, same time, same place.
