When we went to the PC Magazine Web site, we found we had to scroll down columns of frames, but the graphics, contents, and links were all present and active. An AvantGo client is included in the Pocket PC ROM for synchronizing content from specially formatted Web sites to the PDA for off-line viewing. You can use AvantGo to subscribe to any Web site, but the AvantGo channels specifically formatted for handheld devices are the most pleasant to view. We tested Internet access with Pocket Internet Explorer using a wired modem and an Earthlink account. We found the new connection set-up process and modem configuration in Pocket PC a significant improvement over past releases.
File size is a problem, as with all mobile audio players.
MP3 files use roughly 1MB per minute and WMA files use approximately 0.5MB per minute. Playback quality is fine, and you never need to worry about skipping because, as with all portable digital audio players, there are no moving parts. Ebooks require less storage space than audio files. For example, G. K. Chesterton's The Innocence of Father Brown stores in just 191K and Mark Twain's The Adventures of Tom Sawyer uses just 178K, so a single MB of storage can easily hold four to six books. Find out how.
