Nice device to use.
(5 out of 5) by Victor Ionescu on Sep 15, 2007 (Cyprus)PROS: I use it to read books, and I'm ok with the display (3.5').
Till now I read only *.DOCs and it is just was I need.
Great touch screen, very handy device.
Battery is more than enough.
Good wireless range.
CONS: I still have to figure out why some of my documents can't be open in Word (got an error message and need reboot). Same for some PDFs.
Too quiet built-in speaker.

Great PDA except for annoying touchscreen issue...
(3 out of 5) by Brian Meyer on Feb 17, 2009 (Iowa City, IA USA)I have owned an ASUS A626 since May of 2008. Overall I have been pleased with its performance. It shipped with the Windows Mobile 6 upgrade and I added a 2 GB SD card.
As a student pharmacist, I use my PDA as an electronic reference and currently have Thomson ClinicalXpert, Dynamed, Archimedes, and Clinical Pharmacology On Hand loaded. The A626 has not had any problems running any of those applications, and the WiFi and Bluetooth capabilities are handy.
The one issue that has been ongoing (and fairly annoying) is with the touch screen: it requires frequent realignment. After initial purchase, my A626 worked flawlessly for the first 6-weeks, then the touch screen stopped responding. Attempts to navigate to the systems tab with the controls on the device's face were unsuccessful, and, long story short, my PDA was inop for about 6 days. Email communications with ASUS went round about, with no obvious solution achieved. Eventually my device resumed functioning on its own, but has required frequent screen alignments (i.e. several times a day) ever since.

Looks good, feels good
(4 out of 5) by Paul A. Cox on Aug 12, 2008 (minneapolis, mn USA)I don't know a lot about PDAs, pocket pcs, iphones, whatever.
But I do know that this one is pretty good at what it does... it works. It starts up immediately, shuts off immediately, recognizes your handwriting impressively well. It runs programs quickly and effortlessy. I've read a lot of other good reviews on it as well, but I don't know enough to compare it to other handhelds.
My only minus is the picture/video quality. Compared to iphones and itouches, it's definitely below the bar.
Buy this if you want something good for work or school.
Buy an iphone/itouch if you want entertainment.
