HP iPAQ hw6915

HP iPAQ hw6915MobileTechReview reviews the HP iPAQ hw6915 and comments: "HP's camera and Photosmart Mobile software work with the GPS in an intriguing way: the camera can save GPS data with an image which you can then use to get a MapQuest map of the location. This has great vertical market use: for example real estate, where you'd take photos of a house, then later easily look up its location on the map."

About the camera itself: "HP's 1.3 megapixel Photosmart camera (same branding as their standalone digital cameras) takes decent photos that are good enough for on-device display, and are good for PC and web use when sized down. Full size images have significant noise and artifacting but colors and contrast are generally very good. Since noise is easy to fix but poor colors and contrast aren't, the iPAQ's photos look quite nice when resized down to 640 x 480. While the camera isn't the best we've seen, in fact it's not up to the quality of the HP iPAQ rx3715 but it's by no means the worst either. It can take still images up to 1280 x 1024 resolution and videos with audio in H.263 format at 128 x 96, 176 x 144 and 352 x 288 resolution."
