It works in a decent form. Like other people said, the wi-fi coverage is poor compared with a laptop, but it connects. Sometimes in my wireless router the connection is interrumpted without reason, but after a while it runs again. I updated to the last OS version provided by Asus (unfortunately not in spanish)and after that the messenger stops to work. So I must connect trough the internet page. It surf the web well, considering the size of the screen. I wanted it to being connected when I'm abroad, and with such a lot of places with wi-fi available now, is usefull for me. Of course, it always depends the needs you have.

I like my ASUS A626 very much. I never have a problem with wi-fi signal strength where I use it. Big bright screen, and all the tools to keep me organized and in touch with email and calendar. And I can get my butt whipped at chess while I ride the bus.

This pocket pc is great. It is a pretty small one and looks great. This pocket runs really fast. Mine has pretty bad wifi range, but I don't know how it would be with a brand new one. (bought mine used) I really recomend this pocket pc to everybody.

Preformed much better than expected. I was able to find lots of free software. Skip the windows media player and install TCPMP instead, plays well and did'nt have to convert most of video I already had.Only complaint is battery life. That would be more tolerable if I could pick up additional batteries and had a way to charge them. Might even buy one for my daughter now the price is $30.00 cheaper. Amazon overnight shipping was really overnight, I had it in less than 24 hours.

I have used this pda for several weeks now and I really like it. It is well-made and has great sound quality from earphones, and even from it's little speakers, considering the size. It runs Office files and other files such as the Bible plenty fast. It's only weakness is playing back Windows media video files. I have found that keeping files limited to 385kbps CBR works well. In order to look good and play smoothly, the best resolution I've found is 240x180 pixels at 24fps, instead of 320x240 pixels, which is the max screen resolution.

I have not tested the WiFi very much, but it has worked fine in airports. It does use the battery up quickly.

FYI, creating play lists in Windows media player is tricky. To create a playlist, you first need to add whatever files you want into the Now Playing directory. You may need to start playing them. Then you can hit Menu>Save Playist and give it a new name.
