5 out of 5 stars Great for Teachers   June 1, 2007
Ovide Morin
9 out of 10 found this review helpful

I bought the product for my wife who is an elementary teacher. I wanted to give her a gift that would cut down her at home grading. Now she can walk around the room entering grades in real-time using the HP and included Micro Soft Software. The Excel format from the HP seamlessly uploads to her grading software. I bought her a SD card that aids in the transfer of information to and from the HP. No funky Synchronization issues to deal with. I have used a Palm and never found it to be better than a simple back up.

Now all she needs to do is upload the grades into the system. Parents can see their child's progress and more importantly, no entering grades at home.

Happy wife, Happy life.



5 out of 5 stars HP iPAQ hx2495 is outstanding   November 23, 2006

8 out of 9 found this review helpful

I have had my 2495b for about 6 months and it is fantastic. I started using PDAs 15 or so years ago, with the Sharp products (Wizard, Zaurus). Later I went to earlier versions of the iPAQ, and now this model. It has speed, bluetooth, WIFI, and outstanding software. I have downloaded high end aviation software and it works great. The only small complaint I would have at all is that I tried the HP full security feature and it slows the unit down too much. But I have not found a real need to use that feature, anyway.


5 out of 5 stars Some suggestions for Ipaq 2495b   September 3, 2009

I can't remember how long I have had my 2495b but it has been at least 3 years. I have a 4Gb compact flash card and a 2Gb SD card installed and I consistently get 8 to 9 hours. I have never had a problem with this device and it is used 7 days a week. For those of you with the problem of the battery draining, I would suggest you go on the HP support site and research. Microsoft had a problem with the alarms/notifications waking the device up and draining the battery. If I recall, it was a Microsoft problem, not HP. It was a "Microsoft Windows Pocket PC 2003" problem. Google it and you can find a fix. If I remember, I had to change a few settings. Make sure you have the latest Rom installed and have applied all the HP updates. Also, make sure that you set the external keys to not turn the PDA on, with the exception of the on/off button. If it is in your pocket, many times the 4 lower keys will turn the unit on unintentionally. There has been extensive discussions of the battery drain problem on the HP Forums. One solution was setting up a "fake server." Apparently, Microsoft never stepped up to the plate to provide a fix. However, as in my case, there are work arounds. I have been well pleased with my Ipaq, especially the battery life. Hope this helps.
PS I remember, I have replaced the battery once, but like I said, it is used daily.
