Excellent Phone / PDA combo

Advantages: PDA Functionality, Small form factor, Looks stylish, Excellent features
Disadvantages: Reflective screen, motion blur on cammera, 'easy press' buttons.

...This was my replacement for my Nokia 6210 and Dell Axim PDA, The model I have is supplied by Orange and branded the M600, although it is the same phone. Having had a PDA/Phone combo before I was a little sceptical about its suitability, with it being a great PDA but useless as a phone with it being too large to use effectivly. The did not disappoint, with a comfortable size, easy to hold in your palm and easy to hold against your ear without being oversized. Compared to some phones on the market it is by no means the smallest, but it does have that heavy well built feel and fits into your jeans pocket quite nicely. When using the supplied case the phone will no longer fit into your pocket de to the belt loop, and would you really want to hang this kit off your belt? The buttons are also easy to press when accessing from your pocket...

Review of HP iPAQ 114 Classic Handheld

HP iPaq Enterprise Handheld

Advantages: Easy to use.
Disadvantages: None yet. Will update.

...I have just joined Ciao community to put the record straight on this PDA. A previous Ciao reviewer has given a negative review. I have only owned the PDA (HP iPaq 214 Enterprise Handheld) for two days. I believe I was one of the first in the UK to receive this machine as it became available from 25th January 2008. I was almost put off buying the iPaq by the other review here, but decided to give it a try. I am glad, as the PDA does everything a PDA should and at a very good speed and price. The other review here is definitely not for the iPaq 214. How did he get it some months before anyone else? The description bears no resemblance to my iPaq 214. The reviewer says the camera is appalling and defunct - it does not have a camera at all, so that clears that up. It does have 128 MB SDRAM and 256MB flash ROM, mine also came with 1GB SD card...

iPod Touch - a PDA for the masses?

Advantages: Intuitive interface, very easy to use, gorgeous device, very slender profile
Disadvantages: Fingerprint magnet! No browser flash support. Also no native support for adding applications

...* be if Apple stop limiting it. Skip it if you're not interested in anything but the music and video playing :) I've used a PDA in the past and they're not the most friendly of devices to use and can be a pain at the best of times. What's that got to do with an iPod Touch? Well, although it's not advertised as a PDA, it has the potential to be perhaps the most easy to use PDA on the market if Apple allow it. I know what it's meant to be but it could be so much more. I say that there's a lot more it can do but Apple have imposed artificial limits on it presently that stop that. For example, they've disabled the ability to add, edit or delete items in the calendar application and they've also chosen to leave out the mail, maps, weather and stocks applications that the iPhone has access to. To some that might not matter but when you...

aquamark handheld steam cleaner

Advantages: low price,easy to store
Disadvantages: not powerful enough

...I purchased an aquamark handheld steam cleaner because I primarily wanted to clean my filthy stainless steel cookertop and my oven,I also thought that it would be useful to help me tackle a lot of other household chores. I opted for the handheld version because they are a lot cheaper that the larger models and I dont have an awful lot of storage space. The product comes with a number of different attachments for different types of job. There is a large hollow brush for upholstery, two smaller brushes labelled a and b to use for stubborn stains on for example work surfaces and bathroom surfaces..the labelling allows you to have a separate brush for these two rooms and is more hygienic. A small "sockette" made from elasticated towelling is provided and this slips over a triangular shaped head and is desingned for use on delicate areas ie...

Review of Aquamark Handheld Steam Cleaner

imate the serious contender

Advantages: versatile and an excellent performer
Disadvantages: built quality

...that when you purchase the imate it will work with any mobile network as the product is not sim locked so you will have no problem switching between the different mobile providers. 9/10 Build quality- This is probably the only let down of the imate in that the built quality feels poor and very cheap especially when compared to the orange spv range,but this product is lower in price so you will have to decide what is most important. 6/10 Overall summary- This is a fantastic versatile product that is easy to use and customise has plenty of features and performs very well both as a pda and a mobile phone.build quality is not fantastic but the performance more than makes up for its only weak area.On the whole a great product and worth considering. 8/10 i hope this review has been of help if you need more help you can visit...

Review of I-Mate K-JAM

Jam Packed!

Advantages: One ultra portable device
Disadvantages: Battery Life

...installed by directly placing it on the phone itself and running it from there or by installing it from the desktop. You will never need to worry about carrying round a PDA and mobile ever again. I would also say camera however it isn't the best but serves a purpose .This is a great all in one tool that will allow you to have a mobile office, camera, video camera, games console, computer, internet, organiser, mp3 player, video player, ebook reader and phone all on one device. The downside to this great device is battery power. Standard phone use will be fine the moment you start using the WIFI and the PDA side it starts to drain and I find I have to charge it every night but hey I sync it daily anyway. The headphones/hands free are pretty pants and very tacky compared to the rest of the device. But otherwise that's it in my opinion. It...

Say CHEESE to your PDA

Advantages: Fun, easy to use, compact
Disadvantages: limited function, no longer manufactured

...Use your PDA as a digital camera with the Kodak PalmPix - then HotSync the pictures to your PC. Cost around £100 new, now are about £10 on ebay - which is just about what they are worth. There are two 'flavours' available, one for the 'square based' Palm III, IIIc, IIIe, IIIx, IIIxe, VII, IBM Workpad and TRGPro series machines, the other for the 'round based' M100 M500 etc The camera offers two screen resolutions; 640 x 480 and 320 x 240 pixels, bearing in mind this uses the same memory in your PDA, you probably don't want huge files anyway. Download the supplied application onto your PDA, pop a couple of AAA batteries into the camera and you are ready to take pictures in seconds. I work in IT and have to to send engineers to customers' sites. The PalmPix ideal for snapping pictures of their billings, mugshots...

Review of Kodak PalmPix PDA camera

One of the Greatest Handhelds Ever

Advantages: Impressive Graphics, Great Features, and Great Online
Disadvantages: Gamelist is a Little Small and Controls are Tough for Some Games

...This marks Sony's first try at handheld video game units. In this review i'll be reviewing five different categories Design, Controls, Graphics, Multiplayer/Online, and Game Library. Much like the PS3, the PSP's design is very classy and slick. This is a black handheld that is a little large but that is really its advantage because it has a large screen, which is actually an LCD screen wioth HDMI resolution. This makes the games much better to see because of less reflections and the high resolutions makes most of the games look beautiful. One of the issues the PSP has is its controls. While they do resemble greatly to the Playstation console controls there is only one analog stick and one L and R each. This does make some games tougher and some multi-platform games end up playing worse then the console versions due to the change in...

Review of Sony PlayStation Portable (PSP)

Another Very Good Handheld from Nintendo

Advantages: Big Game Library, Awesome Control Scheme, and a Nice Design
Disadvantages: Multiplayer Lacks Depth and Graphics Don't Hold Up to Sony's PSP

...Nintendo enters a new generation with another handheld, the Nintendo DS. In this review i'll be reviewing in five different categories, Design, Controls, Graphics, Multiplayer, and Game Library. The design will be recoginized by most veteran gamers because it is the same design as the Donkey Kong version of the Game & Watch. It has two screens that both become useful for the games. The later version, the DSi would come with bigger screens and a camera. The original DS came with the GBA port but the DSi doesn't, which is kind of sad. Much like the Wii, the control scheme is the big attraction. It comes with a pencil shaped stick called the stylus, which is used for the bottom screen, this helps the player interact with more objects in the enviroments more then the regular controls. After playing a good number of the DS's game...
