Hi all!

I am interested in this pocket pc :

I-Mate JAM

I currently use an ipod but things are getting a bit hard to manage that with
a phone and I have always wanted a pocket PC.

The I-Mate Jam is about the size of an Ipod except it has a large colour
screen. So it would be like having a ipod photo, phone, pocket pc so i
can play back dvd backup movies or mess with PC application on the go.
I think it will be ages till Apple will release anything like this.

But what i would like to know is... how does it sound?
It will need an adapter in order for me to use my Sennheiser HD-1's.

Is the sound quality comparable to an ipod?

For a while I was quite keen on the O2 XDA 2i , but it's way too big...
I'd feel too embarassed to use it as a phone,
The screen is lovely ... reminds me of my Sony PSP.

The following links are to the same device except it's be rebadged :

Does anyone know when O2 UK will actually stock it?
I am currently with them and would like to upgrade rather than take a
single hit and buy the device off-line.

Cheers, Yasmin

i used to have the 02 xphone2. the xphone2 and o2 mini are made by the same taiwan company called HTC (http://www.htc.com.tw/). the sound from my xphone is pretty good for a mobile phone. you could download Betaplayer, which is freeware. it has a lot of equaliser options and is much better than the one that comes with pocket pc.

You might also want to look at the Treo's from PalmOne http://web.palmone.com/products/smar...50/index.jhtml . Same thing from a big name company.

On the same topic, I'd like to know what people think of th PSP (Play Station Palm?) playback.

ok thanks for the handy hints guys... but has anyone compared the
audio quality from the XDA Mini against an Ipod?
