Excellent handheld for the price


Haven't had a problem with this little ripper of a device. I got it cheap, and bought a Sony MemStick to boot overseas which has essentially given me a MP3 player as well.

Recently my support CD was stolen, and I had to wangle with Acer for them to send me a new one for free (they wanted $40 for it), and my only complaint is that none of the software is available on Acer's website.

Apart from that, I get everything I need out of this, Palm functionality, without the Palm pricetag!

Verdict

Acer's Palm OS handheld eschews leading-edge technology, and its Memory Stick slot may not suit everyone, but the design is attractive and the price competitive.

Typical price

£ 229

Featured Talkback

Put simply, what is the compelling reason to pay ~$200 extra for an Eee with Windows XP? A Windows Eee won't come with any useful applications and you'll have to buy anti-virus software to boot. The truth about low cost computing is that nobody really cares whether the machine is running Windows or Linux as long as its cheap, its easy to use and it works.
