Pros Built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth; Integrated Backlit Keyboard; Form/Size; Screen Quality

Cons Desktop Cradle/Charger; Flimsy Case; Costly Accessories (Battery)

Recommended it? Yes

As a long-time user of PDAs, I continue to be amazed at the incredible improvements that each succeeding generation of products brings.

More than a PDA, smaller than a laptop

Pros Sleek, stylish, and functional. Wow factor +10

Cons Expensive accessories. Cradle is flimsy and clumsy. MSFT-centric software package.

Recommended it? Yes

I've had my iPAQ 4355 for a week now and it has vaulted to near the top of my indispensable gadget list, second only behind my robot lawn mower which still occupies the number one spot.

Recommended it? No

This thing is an ergonomic disaster. It will do the things a reader should, and does them well. However, a very big however, it is very difficult to hold without inadvertently touching the screen at some point. When that happens, it goes bonkers. If one sits on one's deck at... Read full review »
