PDA phone wars: the Treo 700w vs. the Treo 650 vs. the PPC-6700
Computing Unplugged Magazine - March 2006
If you're in the market for a PDA smartphone, you've got a lot of great choices. Here at Computing Unplugged, we've been tracking the war between Palm and Pocket PC devices since January of 1998, so when Palm came out with their first Pocket PC smartphone, we thought this event worthy of investigation. In this article, we're letting three leading devices shoot it out. The big news, of course, is Palm's Treo 700w, their first foray into the Pocket PC world and possibly a taste of the future of Palm handhelds. Another exciting device is the PPC-6700, Sprint's version of the amazingly powerful and versatile device we reviewed previously in its Verizon incarnation. Which should you buy? You'll be surprised.
The XV6700, viva la Verizon
Computing Unplugged Magazine - March 2006
Senior Editor James Booth has turned to the Dark side. For years he's been searching for a device that would combine his Palm handheld and Verizon cell phone, but he hates the Treos. James is now hooked on Pocket PCs and Verizon's XV6700. Read on to find out what the XV6700 is and what's so great about it.
The OQO Model 01: an amazingly tiny Windows XP handheld
Computing Unplugged Magazine - July 2005
The OQO is a piece of hardware that in many senses defies the current classification structure that is used to identify mobile computing systems. Technically, the unit actually falls into a sub-ultra portable notebook class as it is physically more compact than any ultra portable notebook on the market today. Is it for you? You'll need to read Jason Giacchino's review to know for sure.

The Dell Axim X30 vs. palmOne's Zire 72, Tungsten E, and Tungsten C
Computing Unplugged Magazine - July 2004
While die-hards fans will always choose their favorite OS, we decided to pit the brand new Dell Axim X30 line against palmOne's line of handhelds. The results were not nearly as clear-cut as we expected.

Computing Unplugged Magazine - June 2004

When is the right time to upgrade?
Pocket PC Life Magazine - May 2000
You've seen those compatibility quizzes in trendy magazines that are supposed to determine things like whether you and your mate are right for each other. Who seriously believes an arbitrary scoring system in some magazine can offer real guidance in making the decisions that shape your life? Well, we do. In this fun article, contributing editor Clifford Brooks has put together a checklist to help you decide whether it's time for you to upgrade to the new Pocket PC.
A tale of three palmtops
Pocket PC Life Magazine - March 2000
Mark Asadoorian, an incorrigible collector of portable electronics, compares the features of the top three Windows CE-based palmtops. If you're trying to decide which of these units to buy, this fun article is a must-read for you.
Routefinder PNA: Windows CE guides the way
Pocket PC Life Magazine - January 2000
We've already seen the application of Windows CE in automotive technology with Clarion's AutoPC. Now, Datus Inc., a subsidiary of Korean electronics giant Daewoo, brings advanced GPS navigation technology to your car with the Routefinder PNA 7000, the world's first handheld auto navigation system. But is it an expensive yuppie toy or an indispensable navigation tool? Senior Technical Editor Jason Perlow gives you the scoop.
A week in bed with Jornada
Pocket PC Life Magazine - April 1999
Imagine a color laptop for under $1000. Now imagine it's 2.5 pounds, runs for 10 hours on a single charge, and doesn't need to boot up to start up. That's the HP Jornada 820, one of the hottest new Windows CE devices around. Contributing Editor Jason Perlow, dedicated reviewer that he is, decided to test out the Jornada 820 while sick in bed. It's a valuable and interesting article, if you can get past feeling sorry for poor Jason.
Nino 300 vs. the Palm III organizer: the hardware
PalmPower Magazine - September 1998
Whenever Microsoft enters an established market, everyone notices. Well, Microsoft has plopped it's 300-pound gorilla smack dead center in the middle of Palm's handheld computer market by introducing their design for the Palm-sized PC and licensing the design and software to computer makers. One of the first such licensees is Philips, with the Nino 300. We wanted to know how the Nino compares to the Palm platform devices. In this very objective, no-holds-barred review, Jason Perlow compares the hardware of the two devices. You may be surprised by the results.
