Overview

i-mate JAMA

Editors rating
Rating: 6.7
Verdict

The i-mate JAMA is a Windows Mobile Pocket PC squeezed into a phone-like casing. However, business users might be put off by the fact it is dual-band, only runs Windows Mobile 5 and lacks Wi-Fi.

Typical price

£ 214.95

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.
