Compaq Computer is getting aggressive in the giveaway game. The PC maker has launched a new promotion: Buy an Evo notebook, an Evo desktop or an Armada notebook and get a Compaq iPaq 3650 handheld for free.
Hewlett-Packard and Compaq's merger plans raise questions about which firm's handheld range will survive in the long term, but both are likely to continue for the present.
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.
Fancy playing a 3D space shoot 'em-up on your PDA? Or a flight simulator on your phone? It's not as far off as you might imagine
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.

Compaq's iPaq H3870 offers Bluetooth built in to a PDA. Is Bluetooth enough of an incentive to upgrade?
A feature-packed smartphone that's well-suited to business users, but it lacks the style and design-prowess of the BlackBerry.
The HP iPaq hx2790 is a PDA for those who are looking for a traditional, businesscentric approach to ultraportable computing and don't mind paying for it.
The HP iPaq hw6900 is shaping up to be a powerful device, but we're always a little wary of products that aim to be a jack-of-all-trades. We hope it can perform in all areas -- GPS, phone, PDA, and multimedia -- and do them well.
