If you have an iPAQ, one of the funnest things to do is personalize it. Music, video and pictures are all transferable and viewable on your HP iPAQ, helping to lend a personal sense to the device. Here is how to personalize an HP iPAQ.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Step1
Put your personal files on your iPAQ. Connect it to your PC using the enclosed wires, and then download your favorite pictures, music and video.
Step2
Select a theme or color scheme. Like home computers that run Windows, the HP iPAQ can change the appearance of its Windows operating system.
Step3
Create a soundtrack for your life. Use MP3 files and the factory installed Windows Media player to create a play list to spice up your day-to-day activities.
Step4
Show pictures of your friends and family. Your wallet is too small to fit all the pictures you want to show, so transfer them from your computer or digital camera to your HP iPAQ.
Step5
Buy an iPAQ sleeve. There are many cool, protective cases or sleeves which you can use to accent and protect your iPAQ in a way that underscores your personal style.
Step6
Download and play games. There are many games available for your HP iPAQ, including game mods of classic systems like NES.
Step7
Receive your emails. Not all HP iPAQs are Internet or email capable, but those that are can receive email through whatever wireless Internet receiver they’re equipped with.
Step8
Customize your calendar. There are many and varied calendars for every facet of humanity: students, young professionals, retirees or business persons.

Tips & Warnings

  • If themes are your thing, you can download theme packages with hundreds of themes from the Internet.
  • To listen to music, it’s best to use headphones so that you don’t disturb those around you and for increased audio quality.
  • Try not to use too many of the above mentioned applications at once. You’ll run the risk of forcing your HP iPAQ into a freeze and having to soft reset it.
  • When downloading supplemental programs, be aware that some may not be compatible with other applications or file types you’re using on your HP iPAQ.
