Handhelds Reviews

GMate Yopy 3500 review

Review Along with Sharp’s Zaurus, the Yopy offers a credible Linux-based alternative to the legions of Palm OS- and Pocket PC-based handhelds on the market.

Sharp Zaurus SL-5600 review

Review By boosting its speed, adding memory and smoothing out software kinks, Sharp's Zaurus SL-5600 Linux handheld offers a challenge to Pocket PC and Palm OS devices.

Toshiba Pocket PC e350 review

Review If you can overlook its less than generous software bundle, Toshiba's Pocket PC e350 is a tempting entry-level handheld.

Destinator review

Review This Pocket PC-based GPS navigation solution is easy to learn and use, and generally works well. However, an upgrade will be required before we can recommend it without reservations.

Buyer's Guide Looking to upgrade your handheld? One of Palm's new-look Tungsten or Zire devices may fit the bill. Check out our complete set of reviews.

Palm Tungsten C review

Review With built-in Wi-Fi, a fast 400MHz Intel processor and 64MB of RAM, Palm's Tungsten C is well equipped to keep mobile professionals connected and productive when on the road.

Palm Tungsten W review

Review Palm's handheld/mobile phone combo is generally well designed, but there are a few deficiencies that prevent it from being an outright winner.

Palm Zire 71 review

Review Palm finally has a well-priced handheld that can go head-to-head with Sony's mid-range CLIEs.

A pair of new Palms

Preview Palm has announced two additions to its range of handhelds: the Zire 71 for consumers and the Tungsten C for businesses.

TomTom Navigator 2 review

Review Despite its lack of speed, TomTom 2 is an excellent Pocket PC-based GPS navigation system. Significant enhancements in version 2 make it the current best of breed.

Hiptop comes to the UK

Preview Following its success in the US as the T-Mobile Sidekick, Danger's Hiptop mobile phone/handheld is coming to the UK -- in a new colour-screen version. But will it fare any better than the ill-fated Pogo?

Sony CLIE PEG-SJ22 review

Review The SJ22 lacks some software that comes with the SJ30, but its lower price makes it a great deal for a colour Palm PDA.

Toshiba Pocket PC e750 review

Review Building on the strengths of its predecessor, Toshiba's Wi-Fi-enabled e750 can claim a place at the top of Pocket PC heap.

Sony CLIE PEG-SJ33 review

Review Although it has some flaws, the SJ33's fast processor and integrated MP3 player make it a good deal for the price.

Mitac Mio 338 review

Review If you're on a tight budget, make sure you consider this attractively designed Pocket PC along with devices from better-known handheld manufacturers.
