When you're buying memory cards for the HP iPAQ, one format is an absolute must-have: Secure Digital (SD). Virtually every model of iPAQ uses this format except for the Mobile Messenger series. Some models use Compact Flash (CF) or miniSD as well. Follow these steps to buy a memory card for an HP iPAQ.
Instructions
1. Locate the owner's manual that you stored away in a safe location and page through the material until you find the memory card compatibility information.
2. Write down the memory card format information. The manual might recommend specific brands; make sure to note that information as well.
3. Visit your favorite computer store or cellular phone retailer. Ask a sales associate for help finding the memory cards.
4. Compare the details. The relevant performance characteristics of a memory card are size, transfer rate and write speed. The size reflects how many bytes of information you can save on the card. The transfer rate is the speed at which data is moved from the card to your iPAQ. The write speed is how fast it can write information onto the disc.
5. Avoid coming back to the store by making sure that the memory card is the right kind for your iPAQ before you seal the deal. Bring the iPAQ to the store and show it to a sales person so they can help you buy the right one.
