Eten P700
Reviews This handheld/phone combo provides tri-band GSM/GPRS communications, built-in Bluetooth and good expansion facilities. It's well worth considering if you don't mind carrying a bit of extra weight.
Asus S1N
Reviews The ultraportable S1N from Asus will suit mobile users who don't need fast 3D graphics or particularly long battery life. You'll also need to be happy with an external optical drive.
PalmOne Tungsten T5: a first look
Reviews PalmOne breaks new ground with the business-focussed Tungsten T5, but we wish it had Wi-Fi built-in.
Dell Latitude D505
Reviews Budget-minded business buyers should take a close look at Dell's well-featured Latitude D505, which introduces Intel's cut-down Celeron M processor.

Dell SmartPC 250N

Apple PowerBook G4
Reviews With its good looks, light weight, features, and performance, the Apple Titanium PowerBook G4 has it all. If price is no object, this is a compelling alternative to just about any Windows notebook or even a desktop PC.
Toshiba Portégé 2000
Reviews Toshiba's Portégé 2000 sets a new standard for ultra-thin sub-2kg notebooks. Frequent travellers and mobile aesthetes will probably accept its moderate performance in exchange for its 'wow' factor.
Sony Vaio PCG-Z1SP
Reviews The Vaio PCG-Z1SP is a thin and light 2.1kg Centrino system with the looks to tempt the well-heeled business user. Application performance is excellent, but a standard battery of moderate power means that battery life is merely good rather than impressive.
Mio A701
Reviews The Mio A701 is a decent GSM/GPRS/GPS handheld with some nice features, although it lacks Wi-Fi. We aren’t the biggest fans of Mio Map, but you can buy this device without the navigation software and install another application.
Sony Vaio VGN-TX5XN/B
Reviews Although it looks stunning and includes an optical drive while remaining both compact and lightweight, this Vista-based ultraportable has a few shortcomings that we find hard to forgive given its hefty price tag.
Handspring Visor Prism
Reviews The best-value colour handheld on the market.
Acer n30
Reviews Acer's n30 Pocket PC is compact and lightweight, and includes Bluetooth, but it could do with integrated Wi-Fi and a swappable battery.
HP iPAQ hx2750
Reviews Offering good performance, security and wireless features, the impressive HP iPAQ hx2750 gets the job done for mobile professionals.
Palm Zire
Reviews Palm’s inexpensive and ultra-basic Zire lowers the entry-level bar for handhelds. However, the price needs to drop even further if it's to become a compelling purchase for first-time buyers.
