Fabulous
By Jordan
The Clio is working great for me. I've been using it for about two weeks so far. First of all, it looks very small (and is light) when closed, but the 9.4" screen is great, wwaaaayy better than the Jornada's tiny screen. The folding arms are awesome and Tablet mode is cool too. The handwriting recognition actually works, it recognized most of my handwriting right away and I've further fine tuned it's settings since so it's even better. Recognizes cursive very well too. The C-1050 is twice as fast as the C-1000 and Mobilon Tri-Pad (by Sharp). There's virtually no delay in opening things. No booting up either, since it runs on WinCE and just suspends when you're done using it. Battery life is excellent! It isn't ten hours, but at least 6 on medium brightness & contrast. Synchronization worked without problems using the included software. It's definitely 10 times better than a Palm and in my opinion better than a laptop unless you need to be doing graphics or using Windows programs which don't come on CE as well. I highly recommend it.

It took me some time to decide what I wanted, Palm Pilot, Pocket PC, H/PC, H/PC Pro, ahh! After deciding that the Handheld PC Pro was for me, it was time to compare the H/PC Pros and select the one which suit me the best. I ultimately chose the Clio mainly because of its fabulous form factor...the HP 820 has no touchscreen and the NEC's standard clam-shell design seems to pale in comparison to the Clio's ability to be used as a tablet (for web browsing, writing and jotting down quick notes). When I first began to synchronize data to and from my Clio I too experienced a little slowness with the transfer of my contacts and calendar items, but after talking with the suprisingly helpful folks at Clio support my data transfers are now much faster (apparently the default setting is slow to eliminate possible problems on your first data transfer)...furthermore I had no problems getting connected with my ISP (Earthlink).
The applications included with the Clio are great, I use the Vadem Viewfinder and Calligrapher handwriting recognition every day...
All in all, my choice to go with the Clio H/PC Pro has really paid off, all I needed was an extension of my desktop PC...but I actually got that and a whole lot more. I just can't wait until my wife (the CFO) lets me set up my Clio to be my wireless web-pad around the house!

Originally, I was in the market for a notebook, but I ran into the HP Jornada. I figured that I didn't need a very powerful machine (for all the powerful stuff, I had my home computer); I just needed something portable that could do the basics when I had time between classes. While price searching for the Jornada, I found many PC companions- Vadem's Clio being one of those. The programs, screen size, lightness, battery life, and reasonable price convinced me to buy it. I never thought it would come in so handy as it has! Not only does it have the other attributes I mentioned, but it is very reliable!
