The iPAQ can only display 4096 colors while the Casio can display over 65,000 colors. The iPAQ is easy and comfortable to read, but I would love for it to be just a little brighter. There are six brightness settings on the iPAQ, at the highest setting, it is just a bit brighter than the Casio’s dimmest setting. How does the screen compare with the Casio E-115? Well, side by side, I’d say that the Casio has a brighter display with richer colors. It will work great if you want to use it in your car with a GPS for example. I think that the iPAQ will be popular because of this. It’s no fun to have to shade or squint at the screen when you are outside. I love the ability to use my PDA everywhere. The screen also looks great on a bright sunny day with no clouds. If you look at the very first picture in this review, it was taken outside on a bright cloudy day. Their screens basically turn black and non-viewable. Other color PDAs can’t be used comfortably outside. The best thing about the display is that you can use your iPAQ It uses a reflective screen like the Aero Palm-size PC. You can attach the basic style pack though which does make the unit feel less slippery (more about the packs later) but it increases the overall size of the unit somewhat.

One small complaint that I have about the PDA is that it is almost too smooth as it has a slippery feeling in your hand. Having used the iPAQ for almost a week now, it is very hard to go back to my Casio E-115 which now seems like a huge brick in comparison. The iPAQ is comfortable to hold in your hand. The shape is slightly tapered with the top being a bit wider than the bottom. The front, top, bottom and sides of the PDA are made of a matte finished metal, the back is plastic made to look like matte finished metal. The sides are rounded and smooth with no rough edges. The iPAQ is the smallest Pocket PC so far and is very similar in size to a Palm IIIc PDA. I think I’d like it more if it wasn’t so shiny. It has a modern, artsy, spacey, flashy look to it that you’ll either like or hate. When you first see the iPAQ, you notice that it doesn’t look like any other Pocket PC to date.
