Now that the hp ipaq 614 has been unboxed, it’s time to see how big HP’s latest baby is compared to some other units laying around closeby.
The first contender is Palm’s ever-famous Treo 680/750. Our ipaq is a bit thinner(due to the slimmer screen) and a bit higher:
A vintage Palm TX is much bigger, but slimmer:
Our rx4240 is a bit smaller, but wider(more on that box later in this review):
Both the QTEK 8500 and Nokia’s N71 are smaller from the front - however, the N71 is significantly thicker:
Last but not least, here is the device next to an iPod touch(as wide as an iPhone, but approximately 100% slimmer):
In the end, the HP ipaq 614 business navigator is a pleasant device. It definitely isn’t among the smallest machines on the market - but small doesn’t necessarily mean good(especially when smartphones are concerned). HP has struck a very good balance here, the device can be held comfortably for longer timespans. Now if it only had VGA and a proper keyboard…
Tune in soon for a look at what HP chose to do with the space!
