How often do you see students and professionals lugging around scheduling books and laptops in order to stay connected? Even the stay at home parent needs some way of keeping track of important appointments and information. No one can afford to stay locked to their home computer all of the time. But there are of course other soulutions.

There is a way to remain on the go and still stay connected. You can try an iPAQ Pocket PC. There are two different versions that may meet your needs: the H5550 and the H1910.

Both have a trans-reflective display that is of the highest quality and produces clear, high definition pictures. Both have removable batteries, which means you can replace the battery with a fully charged one and not have to worry about losing your important documents and files.

The iPAQ Pocket PC model H5550 is the clear winner when it comes to advanced technology. It houses a 400 MHz processor and a biometric fingerprint scanner, which ensures additional security for your important documents. But at what cost?

The biometric scanner is a clear winning point because it means that if your hand held is ever stolen, someone will not be able to retrieve your documents or use your pocket PC software.

If you want better quality headphones, then you will have to purchase an adapter at a Radio Shack, but they are relatively inexpensive. Also not included with the pocket PC is the cradle. You can purchase the cradle for around $49.The H1910 model is definitely worth the price, even though it has less power and a few drawbacks, such as the headphone jack.

Pocket PCs are definitely the way in which many people are staying connected. There is no need to lug around a laptop or worry about finding an internet connection, when most pocket PCs nowadays have Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. The iPAQ Pocket PC model H5550 and H1910 are two pocket PCs that you will definitely want to keep in mind when you are shopping around for a handheld pocket device.
