Imagine sitting down at the breakfast, table of a morning with your eggs and a cup of coffee or a glass of juice. You reflect on the beautiful morning (perhaps also on the previous night's revelry) and you reach for the day's news. Sounds pretty normal so far. But imagine now that the day's news...

Good idea, miserable product

Pros nice idea
Cons does not perform as advertised
Recommended it? No

Read between the lines of the other reviews and you'll realize this is a fatally flawed product. First, it eats batteries at a high rate, and if they run down you have to go back to your PC and reload the OS, apps and books all over again. Heaven forbid you should be out on the road.

I didn't want... Read full review »

Pros Compact size, bright backlighting and auto shutoff
Cons no attached protective cover
Recommended it? Yes

My oldest son started high school this year and he asked if he could have PDA of his own to help him organize his life. I told him that I would have to do some checking to see if I could find a decent PDA that wasn't a lot of money.

I was shopping at Best Buy a while back and I was... Read full review »
