I borrowed one and tried it on a sunny day. You don't want it...

Hi Marc

I owe one and I am using it in full sunlight, same reflective screens
as Ipaqs, no problem you must make sure that it is on automatic light
detect.. Batterylife 2hrs on continuous but has a very quick standby
function. Using it for Storing Description of Outlanding fields (French
Alps) and all the Glider and Instrument Manuals.


The one I borrowed had the same type of transflective screen as the
current iPaqs, and it had significantly less contrast (to my eyes) then
my iPaq 3955 in full sunlight. I don't know whether it was in automatic
light detect mode, though...
