In short, the iPAQ 214 is almost the perfect PDA. It's usable, relatively light (192g) considering its size, has a fantastic screen, a flexible selection of connections and a host of really useful software extras.

Yet the niggling question remains: when a smartphone such as HTC's TyTN II can do all this, and bring mobile data, a GPS receiver plus a hardware keyboard to the party as well, how many people will really end up buying one? Especially when the price - at a not-inconsiderable £224 - isn't exactly what you'd call competitive.Read full review
