Product Description

The MobilePro 880 H/PC Professional PC Companion is a complete productivity solution in a package so thin (1") and so light (2.6 lb.) that it can go with you practically anywhere. Whether as a communications platform, productivity station, or presentation tool, the MobilePro 880 is a pleasure to use thanks to its touch-typeable keyboard (one of the largest available on an H/PC) and generous display size. Big enough to view the full width of many documents and Web pages, the 9.4" diagonal touchscreen displays 64K dazzling colors at SVGA (800 x 600 pixel) resolution.Powered by Microsoft Windows CE, Handheld PC Professional Edition, the MobilePro 880 incorporates pre-installed Pocket versions of the applications you need most - e-mail, word processing, spreadsheets, presentations, personal information manager (PIM), database, and more. The integrated 56Kbps 2 V.90 modem helps you to keep in touch while on the road. And back at the office, you can easily synchronize your MobilePro 880 with your desktop or notebook PC.

Coolest Little Instant on Laptop .......2005-02-04

It's fun. It's super light and it instantly turns on and off. Also, since there are no moving parts, it seemingly never crashes or breaks.

All right, you can't put it in your pocket! But you can type on it easily, browse the Web with its built-in 56 Kb modem, and view Web pages, e-mail or documents on its crisp, full 600x800 color display. With all the news about Pocket PCs, NEC's release of its new MobilePro 880 Handheld PC Pro almost slipped by us.

The MobilePro 880-inside and out

The NEC MobilePro 880 is the updated version of the full-screen MobilePro 800 introduced by NEC over a year ago. Like its predecessor, the MobilePro 880 has a large screen capable of displaying 64K of colors. The screen on the unit I tested was very readable. It seemed a little brighter around the edges than in the center, but only in the opening desktop screen.

The MobilePro 880 also comes with a 78-key, 92% full size keyboard. It's about the size of a keyboard on a small notebook PC and probably one of the best keyboards on any Handheld PC Pro. The keys are closer together than a standard desktop PC keyboard and don't travel as far. I found that it took a day or two of part-time use to fully adjust to the differences. During that time I'd occasionally hit the wrong key or hold a key down too long and type it twice. But once I got the feel of the keyboard, typing was a breeze. The MobilePro 880 has a pad below the keyboard that you rest your palms on while you're typing. If you've never typed on a keyboard with one of these pads, it's another thing that takes getting used to. But it's supposed to help prevent repetitive-motion injuries.
