Yes, it doesn't have bluetooth but I figured I could live without it. It has WiFi though I haven't figured out how to use it yet. I thought it would be nice to be able to access the web via the PDA.

What medical programs would everyone recommend? I know I can get the PDR free (purchased the book for school) but what else should I have? Medical dictionary? etc.?

How do you like your PDA? I just purchased an HP IPAQ RX1955 also. Is it user friendly? Do you have a memory card that goes along with it? If so, what brand is it? I purchased a 2 GB SanDisk SD card. I hope it works. Thanks for your reply.

Yes, I love my PDA. I purchased two memory cards for it (actually swiped the memory card from our camera first then purchased another). I keep my medical programs on one and music on the other. I've really enjoyed having it. I haven't, however, been able to figure out how to sync it to my computer to sync my calendar. My computer has a newer version of Outlook than HP has on the iPAQ so they don't communicate. I contacted HP two different times about it and they recommend that I uninstall the newer version and download the older version on my computer (how dumb is that?)

Anyone else having trouble sync'ing their calendar/Outlook stuff to their computer?

I installed the Outlook which came with the PDA so that I'd have compatible programming. It required I uninstall the outlook which came with the computer, but anything to make it work properly.

I feel sooooooo sorry for those who are afraid or not willing to change their routines. advice to students...get one while you are learning and make your PDA your ROUTINE!!!

I purchased the HP iPAQ 2495b as well. I love it too!

It did require soft resets at first, but I downloaded the most recent sync program from HP, and it fixed that.

I bought a 1 Gig card from Ebay & have Epocrates Essentials, Davis Drug Guide, Stedman's Medical Dictionary, Mosby's Nursing PDQ, Geriatrics, Archimedes, MobileDDx, a regular dictionary, Bible, FTP software, games, Spanish/English Translator, etc.

I downloaded the manual because I bought the PDA off ebay, but the manual doesn't cover this problem. Help!!!

Did you figure out how to dowload programs on to your SD instead of your PDA? I am fighting with mine also. I just got it today off of ebay. Please Help.

Just bought 2795b and installed pepid (required by my school) yesterday. So far so good and it has become my favorite toy.

I have an HP iPaq. Looks like a PXA250. I think it's a few years old but it's barely been used. I have all my programs on a 1 g card. We were required to buy 8 programs from our school.

HI!
I am thinking of purchasing the HP iPAQ 111 or 211. I have Microsoft outlook (office) 2007 and I am not switching...will it work? Or should I go to the Palm products instead?
Also, how much music will either product hold...memory card, etc?

I have had 2 IPAQs, (I am at work now so I can't remember the model numbers) the first one the screen became unresponsive so I got another because I can't live without it. Now my hubby has it and I have an AT & T 8525. My PDA has both bluetooth and wi fi. When I wanted anything placed on the SD card, I put the SD card in the computer and downloaded whatever to it specifically, put programs on it, music on it, pictures on it. Active sync does not read cards.
