Book of Jornada: Chapter 0 Know My Name!

Do you know...

"Jornada" = Spanish, pronounced as like "hor-na-da", meaning "working day".

An apt name indeed.

Here is what the user guide says:

The size and capabilities of the HP Jornada H/PC let you keep your most important business and personal information current and close at hand... Your HP Jornada is also the perfect companion to your desktop or notebook PC. It allows you to take vital business data and documents with you when away from the office, then easily transfer updated information back to your PC upon return. A powerful, reliable, mobile business partner, HP Jornada offers you the highest quality in performance and battery life as well as rich programs and utilities designed by Hewlett-Packard.


I do believe my Jornada 720 (728 ROM) still lives up to its name. Here we are talking about two full decades (720 was produced in 2000). This is what is meant by solid consumer technology and truly user oriented design, not greedy money grab or quixotic experiment.
