Editor's choice
High-End PDA Models

Editor's Choice: Toshiba Pocket PC e750
Highly Commended: Palm Tungsten C, HP iPAQ H5450

It's something of a flavour-preference choice with our Editor's pick; if you're a keen Palm aficionado the Tungsten C is a solid, keyboard enabled choice at an attractive price point. The H5450 is well provided for enterprise customers, especially those nervous about corporate information falling into the wrong hands. We can't help but like the e750 slightly more, however; it's running a cutting-edge PDA OS, has scads of additional storage and very solid wireless connectivity.

Entry-Level PDA Models

Editor's Choice: Palm Zire 71
Highly Commended: Dell Axim X5

The Zire 71 has very solid battery life in an attractive casing, and it's hard to argue against the value of an integrated digital camera. The Axim is almost the Pocket PC version of the Zire 71; it's got the highest-end processor of our entry-level models, and it's really only its lack of integrated wireless connectivity that keeps it out of the high-end model contention.
