Acer n35

By Sandra Vogel

This well-priced Windows Mobile-based handheld/GPS combo could prove attractive, if you're prepared to overlook a moderate specification and some issues with the bundled navigation software.

Neat and tidy handheld/GPS combo design ; GPS receiver works well ; reasonable price

Moderate-speed CPU ; limited memory ; navigation software requires use of SD card slot ; navigation software's interface and instruction regime could be improved ; lacks Bluetooth and Wi-Fi

Fossil Wrist PDA FX2008

Fossil Wrist PDA FX2008

Mac compatible ; stable Palm OS 4.1 ; unlike Microsoft SPOT watches, it doesn't require a monthly or yearly service fee

Display elements are tiny and difficult to manipulate ; using the stylus is a joke ; not water resistant
