I bought my HP iPaq h1910 back when Hewlett Packard was first coming out with their new models. I like to think that I'm an early adopter (one of those people that have the latest and greatest of everything new on the market) but if the truth be told I'm just a sheep - like 95% of the population.

Why did I buy it? I was tired of running a paper diary, a computer diary through MS Outlook on my work computer and the same with my home computer. Purchasing a PDA seemed like the most logical decision as I could carry this instant diary, which didn't contain whiteout marks all over it, and then synchronise it between home and work. Has it fulfilled all my expectations? Sometimes.

The reason I really bought my PDA, apart from the obvious diary and contact list features, was that it played mp3's and movies. Chuck the headphones in on the way to work and the hours pass as though they were mere minutes - or maybe its just because I only live 3 1/2 minutes away from work.

It also makes me seemingly more popular. Everybody wants to stop me and gaze at my gagdet - well, when it was new they did. Now everybody's got the latest PDA with Voip, GPS, Bluetooth, WAIX and everything else that I have no knowledge of what they are or how it could possibly benefit my life.

Still, I might need to update soon.
