The home-bound mobile device that isn't actually mobile
You won't break Getac's rugged PDA by sitting on it
An interesting concept but is sadly flawed
iPhone and iPod touch friendly gloves
HTC's Advantage X7510 is both too large to drop into your pocket and too small to drop into your bag and be a laptop. So what is it? The Windows Mobile 6.1 operating system gives it the potential to make voice and data calls and it features HSDPA, so data speeds should be fine.
MWg’s Atom Life (£200 inc. VAT) is a mid-range Pocket PC, offering excellent connectivity and plenty of features. But with no hardware keypad, the Atom takes the approach of a traditional PDA.
The Toshiba Portégé G910 (£399 inc. VAT) is the successor to the G900 – a Pocket PC offering lots of features for the business user. While its predecessor offered a sliding keypad, the G910 features a clamshell design and leather-look plastics, and looks more like a miniature laptop than a phone.
In this age of connected devices, there is something almost archaic about the traditional PDA, which has been driven to extinction by the smartphone. However, HP continues to support it for its business customers and the HP iPaq 214 Enterprise (£225 inc. VAT) is the latest iteration.
The best doodles you ever draw are the ones while you’re on the phone or in the middle of a meeting. Inevitably you had to quickly screw up that bit of paper, but with the G-Note series you can instantly store all your doodles, and boring stuff like minutes of meetings, digitally through this A4 notepad.
Following the launch of the UMPC (Ultra Mobile PC) last year, we've seen a variety of portable products that attempt to offer better usability in a portable package. T-Mobile's Ameo (£80 inc. VAT) sits between the UMPC and Pocket PC, combining 3G connectivity, a 5-inch touchscreen display and a removable QWERTY keyboard.
The Roky 2 (£70 inc. VAT) is a full Qwerty keyboard that is fully compatible with all PDA operating systems, but just happens to be made of 100 per cent fabric. All but the Bluetooth receiver attached to one end that is
Even now, email remains the internet's killer application. So wouldn't it be rather compelling if you could receive it as soon as it's sent, just as quickly as you'd get an email at work or on broadband?
The increasing popularity of smartphones and Pocket PCs has more people than ever browsing the internet on their mobile devices. For those who find the displays on such devices too small, Nokia's 770 Internet Tablet could be the answer
HP's iPaq has always offered a good range of features, and excellent usability, but has long been lacking in style. The iPaq rw6815 Personal Messenger (£365 inc. VAT) attempts to address this.
Laptop protection is big business and this designer sleeve for your laptop is made from Low Resistance Polyurethane (LRPu), which means it will take the impact of any accidental drop or crush and then will expand back into its original shape
Keyboard or no keyboard, it's the smartphone designer's conundrum. Sacrifice device or screen size for fast input, or hope consumers will enjoy the large display. With the rw6815 HP has opted for a keyboard-free smartphone and it certainly impresses
You'll find a great collection of features in HP's new iPaq hw6915. How does this list sound? GPS with navigation software, 1.3-megapixel camera, quadband GSM phone, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, all built into a Windows Mobile device with a physical keyboard...
When you ask a user what they want most from a smartphone, the answer is likely to involve it looking and feeling more like a mobile phone. The M600i satisfies both these requirements
Weighing just 112 grams, and measuring just 15mm thick, this is by far one of the smallest smartphones we've seen.
The HP rz1710 is the most affordable iPAQ on themarket, competing with other companies producing lowcost PDAs, such asDell. This is a stylish entry-level organiser with all your basicmultimedia functionality on tap.
Fujitsu Siemens has been a consistent player in the handheld market, but it has never had a wide range of offerings. With the Pocket LOOX400 series, the company is following Dell's example
The Dell Axim X50 is by far the most appealing handheld the company has released to date. Weighing in at 167g, the Axim is still on the heavy side, but we found that it sat comfortably in the hand.
The Dell Axim X30 (£278 inc. VAT) takes the styling of the slightlyolder X3 but brings with it a faster feature set for a similarlyaggressive pricing. That said, the styling of the Axim X30 doesn'tbreak any new ground.
Acer has announced details of a new PDA in the form of the N50. However, the N30 (£169 inc. VAT) is the only consumer handheld currently available. For those looking for a little more, there is the Acer N35 (£245 inc. VAT) that comes with integrated GPS
The problem with Pocket PC smartphones is typically one of bulkiness. Take O2's enduring XDA II, for example. It combines the easy touch 'n' click power of a PDA with the GSM/GPRS connectivity of a mobile phone
