HP iPAQ 310 additionally got a review recently. As we expected the iPAQ 310 has the best screen out there for a GPS navigation device which is super bright and has 800×480 pixel resolution. It is additionally very impressive in terms processor potential - how about a 600MHz dual-core CPU?

But the software… It seems to be lost in every agency. Here is a small excerpt:

We additionally had an issue with not being able to cancel navigation. Typically when you are navigating to a destination, and you navigate away from the screen giving you directions it’ll ask you whether you want to cancel the route planning, but that is not the case with the 310; it keeps navigating, no matter what. In fact, whether you choose a route

and next decided to just cancel, it won’t, even whether you go back to the home page. From there, pressing the “map” button takes you back to the route you were previously navigating. One instance we even turned it off considering we were tired of hearing it tell us to turn here and go there, and it magically turned itself back on a few minutes later to tell us to construct a turn. It’s literally like the Terminator as far as navigation goes.

And there is more like that in the review. It seems like it would be wise to wait for a second generation iPAQ 310 which hopefully will be more user friendly. Currently iPAQ 310 sells for $320 on Amazon.
