Since it plays back WMA files, the storage is enough to cram in music\/podcasts that can entertain you for a few hours. Mind you, this doesn\u2019t mean if I will be replacing my iPod anytime soon, but for short walks or 15-minute bus rides, this is a good option. Then there is the option of converting your videos (on your PC) and putting them on the card. I found the video sucked up the battery life of the device, and decided to forego further testing. Talking about batteries &#8211; how is the battery life. At the end of day two, I had used up 40% of the total battery after initial charge. This is with Good Wireless Email running all the time, and sporadic voice calls, and some music \u201clistening.\u201d <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The conclusion of this nice HW6500 review : &#8221; The big downside of the device &#8211; its happy as a clam in the Windows world. It doesn\u2019t make magic with a Mac as yet, because most of the existing programs like Pocket Mac don\u2019t work for this particular model. On a scale of 1 to 10, this gets a solid 7 from me. A good buy for those who are looking for a Treo option.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Om Malik from Gigaom reviews the HP HW 6500 and writes about using HP hw6500 Mobile Messenger as a multimedia device: I like the storage expansion options and you can get a 1 GB SD card cheap enough to basically use MM as a music player.
