Palm Pre

With webOS, Palm goes past matching its competitors and offers something more. The Pre might not be a home run, but it is an indication of good things to come.

Sony VAIO VGN-FZ18G

We can't imagine the market for a 15-inch home theatre laptop with Blu-ray is very large, but the Sony VAIO VGN-FZ18G certainly fits the bill if it's out there.

Reviews

TomTom One XL

The TomTom One XL's extra screen width is useful on the road, but it adds little else for the extra AU$100 you pay over the standard One.
ASUS P735

A handheld with good features for the business user, but those who want the latest HSDPA and GPS options may have to look elsewhere.
O2 Graphite

O2's latest phone combines many of the features of a PDA with the latest in mobile phone technology including 3G support, push e-mail and video conferencing all in a conventional looking handset.
O2 Xda Zinc

With a faster processor, the Xda Zinc has a slight performance edge over the Dopod 838 Pro but falls short by a slight margin in terms of aesthetics. Unless you're looking for a QWERTY handheld, there are more options out there.
ASUS AiGuru S1

A simple to use wireless VoIP handset for Skype users that doubles as a music player.
i-mate K-JAM

The i-mate K-JAM offers a good package of business features at an acceptable price, although if you want top-notch performance, look elsewhere.
HP iPAQ rx5965

The HP iPaq rx5965 Travel Companion delivers a sleek all-in-one navigation, productivity, and entertainment device to mobile professionals; we just wish it had better battery life.
HP iPAQ rx4540

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 a compact design to appeal to users who plan to use their handhelds for mobile entertainment.
