I believe I have one of the first Palm Pilots sold- purchased after reading about it in the United Airways magazine on the way to the US. I called on several computer stores USComp, Circuit City etc, all said they were not in stock, until a Circuit City in LA called me the day I was leaving and I bought it. It was very reliable until it gave up in 2002. I have had two since, but they do not last as well as the first. K.H Sorry I can't find my user name in my access codes, but it may be as entered

      A handheld with good features for the business user, but those who want the latest HSDPA and GPS options may have to look elsewhere.

      Mio's Digiwalker P350 isn't a stunning PDA. It isn't a stunning GPS, either. It's still a good unit, however --- read our review to find out why.

      O2 Xda Stealth

      O2's Xda Stealth looks a lot like a regular slider phone, until you flick it open and notice the Windows Mobile 5.0 operating system, push e-mail capabilities and built-in Wi-Fi support.
