PDA Buyer's Guide Reviews ASUS's A730w
Posted by Janak Parekh in "HARDWARE" @ 07:00 AM
"Power users rejoice: the feature-packed A730W has every feature you can pack into a Pocket PC except a mobile phone. This VGA device has WiFi, Bluetooth, a 520MHz XScale processor, 1.3 megapixel camera, dual expansion slots and a user replaceable battery. Impressive. Does this top of the line ASUS live up to its feature set?...The A730W arrives on the heel of the A730 which we reviewed in September 2004. The units are identical in most respects, using the same casing and having many of the same features. Thus our reviews of the two units share some editorial text. The A730W adds WiFi (that's what the "W" stands for), has 128 megs of RAM rather than 64 and thanks to firmware improvements does a bit better on benchmarks and camera performance."
Looks like a fantastic unit, overall, but PDA Buyer's Guide finds that the battery life is indeed very poor, especially with Wi-Fi on. :( Too bad; it seems like nearly everything else was done right on this unit.
