Hardware, operating system
iPAQ is running Windows Mobile 6.0 as an OS, its CPU is a 520 MHz Intel XScale PXA270, there is 128 MB of RAM and 256 MB of ROM, the storage space can be expanded with a microSD card. There is 77 MB free for running programs and 118 MB for storing data, which should be enough.
The handset’s speed was absolutely okay during everyday usage, screen changes and scrolling are fast enough and there is no considerable wait when launching applications. Let’s see the speed tests:
| Pocket PC Mark v1.03 | VsBenchmark 2007 | ||
| Dhrystone Benchmark (CPU) | 87.22 | Graphics | 1837 |
| Whetstone Benchmark (CPU) | 2.82 | Others | 1856 |
| Memory Benchmark | 461.97 | JPEG | 3862 |
| File system Benchmark | 124.75 | Games | 1588 |
| Storage Cards | - | Sound | 591 |
| Graphics Benchmark | 179.90 | Final | 1946 |
The benchmark results are quite contradictory. VsBecnchmark results are quite good (although I’d have expected more of a 520 MHz CPU), the only exception being the test of the sound system. Anton Tomow’s classic test software has, however, yielded some really weak results after running the CPU tests; such a chip should get triple the marks. The memory test results are average, while file- and graphics test results are quite good.
