The 400MHz iPAQ H3970 is probably the most versatile in the range offering the widest range of accessories and greatest compatability with add on devices through its use of Pocket PC 2002 and the original form factor that accepts all expansion jackets and external keyboards and cables.
The powerful iPAQ 3970 has a 400MHz Intel XScale Processor with 64MB of Memory built in and a Secure Digital (SD) Memory Slot which also accepts MultiMedia Cards (MMC) for memory upgrades of up to 512Mb or up to 3Gb via an optional Compact Flash card jacket.
The Compaq iPAQ 3970 boasts integrated Bluetooth capabilities enabling the use of wireless e-mail web browsing with a Bluetooth compatible phone such as the Ericsson T39, T68i, Nokia 6310, 6310i and many more recent models.
The iPAQ 3970 offers a sharp 65,000+ colours Transflective TFT liquid crystal display Touch Screen (240 x 320 pixels) for decent rendering of video and photos on screen or for integration with a Compact Flash camera.
The longer lasting iPAQ 3970 has an improved battery life of up to 15 hours, with bluetooth disabled, and which can last several days away from a charger, although it is designed to be redocked each day rather than for a week's travel without power.

This makes it ideal as a Media Player eveb=n without headphones and especially for GPS Satellite Navigation as the clear voice directions can be heard distinctly over the din of traffic and engine noice or in-car radio.
