HP 680 Palmtop questions

Archived from groups: comp.sys.palmtops (More info?)

Yes, it does have a 56K modem.

Pocket Internet Explorer, and other apps.

For more information - go to
http://www.pdabuyersguide.com/hpjornadahpc.htm - it's a pretty good site.

Yes - it also has a PC Card slot - but make sure that any card you may get
is NOT card bus. Handheld and pocket pc's for that matter do not support
CardBus cards of any type.

There are other web sites out there that have the jornada 680/690
compatability, however, you may need to search a bit.

Try a site, such as http://www.cewindows.net/devices/index.htm for the OS,
and other links on this web site for other information, like
http://www.cewindows.net/periphera [...] esslan.htm for wireless
cards.

I had one of the 680's, 690 and 720 at work. They were good, depending on
what you want to do with them. I surfed the web on the 690 (pretty much the
same as the 680 - more memory)

Good luck.
