HP iPAQ hx4705

RRP: $1199.00

This fast, capable PDA with many outstanding features is undercut by a frustrating touchpad.

ASUS MyPal A730W Pocket PC

Review Date: 18-DEC-2004

RRP: $899.00

The ASUS MyPal A730 packs a lot of features into an attractive package, but it could make better use of some of them.

Palm Zire 72

HP iPAQ rx3715

RRP: $699.00

Despite a mediocre camera, the Rx3715 has more goodies than most other Pocket PCs. Some features aren't terribly useful, but the rest make for a pretty nifty (albeit expensive) PDA.

HP iPAQ hx2790

RRP: $549.99

This PDA is fast, powerful, and equipped with both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, but the biometric fingerprint reader doesn't work as well as it should.

Palm Z22

RRP: $179.00

Stylish, small and simple to use - there's nothing wrong with the Z22. And there's plenty to like about that price, too. If you want a PDA, you'll struggle to match these levels of quality and value.

RRP: $499.00

If you are wiling to sacrifice storage space and power for a low price point, then this is the PDA for you.

Symbol Technologies MC50

RRP: Unavailable

Not ideal for personal usage, the MC50 is designed to facilitate mobile computing offering PDA features in a rugged design. While the unit is solidly built and includes native Wi-Fi, the presence of a scanner adds significantly to the price.

HP iPAQ rx4540

RRP: $499.00

A PDA dressed in a portable media player's clothing, the rx4540 is an attractive device that is equally good for productivity and mobile entertainment.

HP iPAQ rx4240

RRP: $399.00

A PDA dressed in a portable media player's clothing, the rx4240 is an attractive device that is equally good for productivity and mobile entertainment, but the lack of internal memory is a downside.
