Hi,

I have just purchased a used Ipaq 1930 and it has come with no CD. I
run Outlook 2002 on my PC, what software will I actually need to operate
the unit correctly?

Is this software available free for download or will I have to purchase?

I'm not after a freebie, I just want to get the IPAQ working correctly.

Really looking forward to using the IPAQ having been a PALM addict for
the past 7 years!

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

I have an Ipaq 1930, too. Since I don't use Outlook I only needed
Active Sync from the CD. And this is also available from M$'s website.
This is a program with which you can include your device's file system
into the normal Windows Explorer. If you don't do much file copying
you could also use Infrared or SD cards - if your computer has one of
these capabilities.

About software for the PDA - look around some software website.
There's plenty of good stuff around:

www.pocketpcfreewares.com
www.handago.com
www.pocketgear.com
www.pocket.at

But I wonder why your package doesn't include a CD in the first place.

Thanks for the info, sounds pretty plain to me. I didn't ask why there
was no CD with the device but the fact that it comes with all cables,
power supply, a case and a memory card gives me the feeling that all is
genuine. I'm fairly confident that all is OK.
