Volume issues with CoPilot and 5450 ipaqs

[naquada]

just had a long conversation with HP over the problems with volume on the new 5xxx series ipaq's



they said that the issue is present in 54xx series and that they in fact will not support their own INS system running on this as they consider it 'unsafe' for driving..



however the good news is that according to HP in the UK, the 5555 (55 series was mentioned by specifically the 5555) has had the problem corrected, and should now have a volume that is higher and more usable for GPS apps..



for copilot and other GPS systems with text to speech, they only recommend 38xx and 39xx (both now end of lined) as well as 5555 series. they also have no plans to remedy the problem on the 5450 unit...



I have yet to test if the processing speed of the 5555 causes issues with speech and rerouting as in the 54xxx units..



hope that helps everyone..
