I have a HP Ipac that I do not use. I think I paid $ 600 for it new. Send me an email if you want more information on it $200.00 I was going to put it on ebay but never got around to it.

Mike- Depending on your phone carrier there may be certain models of phones that can run the pocket PC. I use an HTC Touch with 3D inspection software. The HTC also runs windows mobile. So you might want to look into that system. 3D is a great inspection software.

Mike,
Please make sure to check out our software. We were the first ones to have home inspection software on a handheld device over 12 years ago. I recommend getting the HP iPaq 210. It has a beautiful screen with great battery life. Please give us a call if you have any questions on our software. We are used by the biggest franchise in the country and have thousands of inspectors across the US and Canada that use our software.

I was in your shoes about 5 yrs ago. I have found that a Blackberry works best for me in the Chicago area. Software..I compared the major brands and went with Home Guage. Easy to use and great tech support

Good luck

I went to my cell phone carrier and got a cheap phone with windows operating system on it just for inspections. I use InspectIt for my reports. If you would like more info on the software you can email me.
