Royal Consumer Information Products, best known for low-cost commodity appliances like shredders and postal scales, this week became the first to announce a low-cost colour PDA based on the Linux operating system.
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.
There is more than one type of memory used in Palm-based PDAs. Before deciding on a PDA purchase, review the extended storage options presented here.
Handheld makers will see shipments grow at a healthy clip over the next few years, but only if they give their gadgets the oomph needed to win over new buyers, according a new report.
Chipmaker Intel is altering the specifications of its XScale processors so that handheld devices will be better able to incorporate additional features, such as Wi-Fi connectivity and integrated cameras.
Pronouncing that a given device doesn't need any more storage is a near-foolproof recipe for looking stupid somewhere down the line. However, I'm sceptical that many people need a 16GB mini-SD card for their phone.
Is Apple keeping the iPod Touch and iPhone platform closed to third party developers to protect its impressive record on security?
Channel 10's threadbare online presence stands out among the other TV networks' swish Web sites. But why?

The HTC Touch Diamond offers much in the way of sex appeal and flash, and it's certainly got a formidable feature set. However, we hope HTC resolves some of the performance issues we've noticed before its local release.
Macromedia is including the Pocket PC in its strategy of leaving the browser behind.
The HP iPAQ 912c defines the middle of the road. When you consider its performance versus the price, the 912c is passable but painfully average.
Not the flashiest phone around, but its jaw-dropping price, ease of use and vast software ecosystem, make it a good choice for first time smartphone buyers and Palm OS aficionados alike.
Decent performance, GPS and good connectivity are a plus for a handset with yesterday's heavy-set PDA aesthetics.
The i-mate Ultimate 9502 is the larger sibling of the i-mate 8502, and shares the honour of being Australia's first HSUPA phone. While we believe this phone is in the same league as a BlackBerry or the iPhone, be wary of Telstra's promised internet speeds.
