From its large onboard memory and SD card slot to the implementation of a 3.5mm audio jack and scroll wheel, the iPaq rx4540 combines a well-thought-out feature set with compact design to appeal to users who plan to use their handhelds for mobile entertainment.

Palm TX Palm TX

There's little to complain about this chic model that follows closely on the success of the Tungsten T5 except that it is not for those looking for the complete all-in-one mobile device as it does not have phone and camera features.
