Although sold as a 'consumer entertainment' notebook, the swivelling PDA-style touch screen on HP's newest laptop could have strong appeal to the small business market.
The traditional pen-based PDA market will evaporate within the next four years without significant product innovation, according to Hewlett-Packard (HP). The company will therefore continue to focus the majority of its handheld efforts on converged smart phone devices, relegating its traditional PDAs to the entry-level consumer and SMB markets.
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.
Compaq is offering free operating system (OS) upgrades to PocketPC 2002, for iPAQs bought between September 6 and November 30 this year.
The company signs a deal that will get its games onto Compaq Computer's iPaq, marking the first time Sega characters will appear on a handheld computer.
If you're looking to get organised digitally for the first time, and are a little bamboozled by what's out there, we've corralled together the best PDAs for first timers.
PDAs can be expensive, but because they're so flexible, you can recoup your investment by using them for network administration tasks. See how you can use a PDA such as the Compaq iPAQ as a portable network analysis tool.

In 2005, Canadian wireless company Research in Motion (RIM) came from relative obscurity to steal a global lead in e-mail equipped mobile devices with its BlackBerry. Could 2008 be the year that BlackBerry falls off its perch?
Compaq's iPaq H3870 offers Bluetooth built in to a PDA. Is Bluetooth enough of an incentive to upgrade?
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.
It may not be entirely rational buying a GPS for its beautiful screen and multimedia features, but the 312 almost makes the case despite its numerous bugs and flaws.
