Customer Reviews good the only thing left out of your product is a manual for the compaq ipaq ia-1 home internet appliance were can we get a owners manual or a contact link to this product. Terrrific product, DOA Nov '03: This is a *terrific* product, particularly for real seniors--like octogenarians--who find today's computers much too complex for simple needs (e-mail, games, a little online shopping, news). We've milked all we can for three years out of my 89 year old mother's iPAQ IA-1s and there is simply nothing as good on the market...but the iPAQ IA-1 is road kill. Unforunately, the iPAQ IA-1s have been on their last support leg from Compaq for two years, and now MSN (which offered C-level support at best over those years--about what you'd find in Russia for service on an esoteric American sports car) is finally pulling out this month, Nov '03. The iPAQ IA-1 device itself hasn't even been manufactured for at least a year (although they keep sending my mother refurbished ones; you can't beat the warrantee). Don't buy one. It's gulping its last convulsive breaths. Keep an eye on SageVision/MSU Devices and see if they come out of bankruptcy; it sounds like they were on the right path in 2001. For my mother, I'm thinking of getting a very simple computer, making sure it can't go off, and leaving it on all day, every day. Good luck. magraf in Richmond, VA
