The iPaq rz1710 doesn’t keep traditions of its predecessors; it seems to be a simplified version. Having the same price with the iPaq 1940 the handheld lacks an integrated Bluetooth module, a voice recorder button, for all that the processor frequency rate is lower, the RAM size is twice as little, the battery became non-removable and design has be greatly changed. If consider advantages, the screen has become much better, and there has appeared the standard headphones jack. With the current price the model has no chance to refresh that great success of its predecessor, to save the day the prices should quickly fall to some $200-220. In any case the company will lose the position gained in the budget Pocket PC sector, as there is no adequate substitute for iPaq 1940 in the price range under $300.
