Hardware, operating system
iPAQ runs Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional as an OS, while its heart is a 416 MHz Marvell PXA270 CPU, which is a bit outdated, as although it’s a fast and powerful chip, it’s not the best in terms of energy saving. RAM is 128 MB large, and ROM is 256 MB, we have 75 MB for running programs and about 100 for storing data, storage can be expanded with a microSD card. We have a separate drive (iPAQ File Store), which is 25 MB large.
In terms of speed there is nothing wrong with the handset, even small slowdowns were rare. Applications launched in a moment, scrolling is continuous, so we have nothing to complain about. Pocket PC Mark results tell the same – VsBenchmark didn’t run unfortunately, probably because of the landscape screen that cannot be rotated.
| Pocket PC Mark v1.03 | ||
| Dhrystone Benchmark (CPU) | 162.60 MIPS | |
| Whetstone Benchmark (CPU) | 5.24 MWIPS | |
| Memory Benchmark | 571.17 points | |
| File system Benchmark | 85.28 points | |
| Graphics Benchmark | 203.09 points | |
The results are just as expected, practically all are a strong medium. Marks for the CPU test are appropriate for the chip’s capabilities, memory and file system scores are also okay, while the score for the graphical test is exceptionally good.
