The choice of operating system for a personal digital assisant (PDA) is effectively down to two" Palm OS or Pocket PC"but the variety of choices for the handheld itself is very impressive. We test three of the best, and see what's coming up soon.
Mobile device manufacturer High Tech Computing (HTC) unveiled its first branded smartphone for Australia -- the HTC Touch -- in Sydney yesterday.
Yopy, the clamshell-designed Linux handheld from G.Mate, is on display at Comdex, and rumors circulate of a Linux-based HP Jornada.
A non-profit group in India has created a simple, inexpensive, multilingual handheld device aimed at bringing computing to developing nations. Dubbed the "Simputer", the PDA-sized handheld computer will run on the GNU/Linux operating system.

Though it comes with some business-centric security features, this iPaq falls short when compared with other Windows Mobile devices out there.
The iPAQ Voice Messenger is at best, mediocre. There's nothing here that HTC, BlackBerry or Apple don't already do better, and unless your company already has a great HP contract, it's hard to recommend.
HP's latest iPAQ, the 612c Business Navigator, is a solid offering with lots of features and good battery life. It's a bland-looking and giant handset, but good performance and crisp touchscreen somewhat make up for the poor keypad.
There aren't many choices for dedicated, low-cost PDAs, so it's good to know that the 112 Classic pretty much gets all the basics right at an affordable price.
Can the addition of GPS on HP's latest PDA-phone inject some much-needed oomph back into the dwindling PDA market?
