Reviews of the HP iPaq 310 Travel Companion

    CNET Review

    November 26, 2007

    The Good: The HP iPaq 310 Travel Companion is a sleek portable navigation system with a gorgeous screen, text-to-speech functionality, and integrated Bluetooth. It also displays 3D building renderings and has multimedia capabilities.

    The Bad: The iPaq 310 was pretty awful at route recalculations, and the voice prompts weren't very loud or clear.

    The Bottom Line: Despite a sleek design and an attractive feature set, the HP iPaq 310 Travel Companion shows an ugly side with inaccurate route recalculations and poor voice directions that makes us say pass for now.

    Review Summary: The HP iPaq 310 Travel Companion is good-looking hardware that handles navigation basics fine. But until the extras work better, it's not worth the high price.

    Review Summary: The lack or otherwise of *any* updates that address the significant issues raised above is probably directly relevant to people in pre-purchase phase.
