Courageous

Hey guys

been a reader of these forums for a while now, been looking to get a PDA to help with organising myself with uni etcetc. Since i got some money to burn i was thinking of getting a hx4700 - mainly for use as an organiser and multimedia device while im waiting on the bus etcetc. I saw one at Myer Sydney CBD and i was like wow the screen is beaauuuttiful! and it really didnt look that big as it looks in the pictures in the review.

Got a few questions:

ive got quite a few divx/xvid files ranging from 640x324 to 640 x 352, since the hx4700 is 640x480, does this mean i wouldnt have reencode the video files?

How is the battery life, would the standard battery allow me to watch a 2hr movie comfortably? Obviously with wireless and bluetooth enabled it will be alot less (but i dont have wireless yet - still thinking of whether it would be worth shelling the $$$ out)

Also is there any way to install Chinese language OS on the hx4700? When i was at Myer it didnt have chinese lang support from the settings window so im wondering if it is at all possible or do i have to send it back to HP?

thanks guys!

You should be fine. Betaplayer (a free app) will play those puppies

With bt/wi-fi off I watched Airplane. Battery went from 100% to 74%.

Don't know this one, I have enough problems with English.

jinxiong,

You can try to install the Monster Chinese from Maction.

This might be the only one work for Hx4700.

But since I have installed it for trialing, I have been able to find how to use the handwriting recognition program yet.

Good luck.

Haven't been able to find the handwritten recognition software.

thanks for the info guys

also will i be able to connect the hx4700 via cable and watch movies on the TV screen? i think the axim x50v has this feature
