Photos Palm cofounder Jeff Hawkins has unveiled the company's latest project: the Palm Foleo. A companion product for smartphones, the Linux-based Foleo looks like an ultraportable notebook and is designed to let you more easily view and edit email and office documents, among other things.


Editors Choice Award Orange SPV M700 review

Orange SPV M700 review

Review HTC's P3600 has been taken up by Orange and rebadged as the SPV M700. In its new incarnation, this sleek and well-built 3G/HSDPA device benefits from attractive pricing and from having its integrated GPS receiver enabled by default.

T-Mobile Ameo review

T-Mobile Ameo review

Review The Ameo is a well-specified and generally usable Windows Mobile 5.0 device with a large screen and an attachable keyboard. But despite all its built-in functionality, which includes HSDPA and GPS, we suspect that few mobile professionals are likely to replace their notebooks with one.

E-TEN Glofiish X500 review

Review A quad-band GSM/GPRS Windows Mobile 5 handheld with integrated GPS and Wi-Fi, the Glofiish X500 packs a lot of functionality into its slimline frame. You get a useful bundle of applications too.

HTC P4350 review

HTC P4350 review

Review It's difficult to recommend the HTC P4350 unreservedly: it runs Windows Mobile 5.0 rather than the recently released version 6; also, HTC's TyTN shares the P4350's key characteristics but adds 3G, which will be a clincher for many buyers.

Nokia N800 Internet Tablet review

Review A definite improvement on its 770 predecessor, the Nokia N800 includes a faster processor, more memory, dual expansion card slots, a webcam, stereo speakers and an integrated stand. However, it still relies on Bluetooth or Wi-Fi for internet connectivity, and business users may find the software bundle somewhat limited.

HTC P3600 review

HTC P3600 review

Review HTC's attractively packaged P3600 offers excellent local and wide-area wireless connectivity, including HSDPA. However, it's expensive without an operator subsidy and battery life could be better.

HP iPAQ rw6815 Personal Messenger review

HP iPAQ rw6815 Personal Messenger review

Review Although it includes a phone, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, the iPAQ rw6815's phone lacks 3G, the Wi-Fi is only 802.11b standard and Bluetooth is the 1.2 version. If you can live with this functionality, this is a neat enough Windows Mobile device.

T-Mobile MDA Compact III review

T-Mobile MDA Compact III review

Review T-Mobile's latest connected handheld is the first from a UK network operator with a built-in GPS receiver. The lack of Wi-Fi is a major drawback, however; we'd also like to see the wide-area connectivity upgraded from GPRS to 3G.

i-mate JAQ review

i-mate JAQ review

Review i-mate's bulky JAQ could suit those who find many keyboard-equipped handhelds hard to use. In opting for this device, though, they will have to put up with decidedly average design, specifications and performance.

Palm Treo 750v review

Palm Treo 750v review

Review It may lack Wi-Fi, have a cramped screen and use proprietary cables, but we like the Treo 750v a lot. Palm's usability enhancements to Windows Mobile 5.0 are particularly well implemented.
