Find The Right PDAs

Palm Zire 31 Handheld

The entry-level Palm Zire 31 should have users singing a happy tune with an affordable price tag, added memory, a fast processor, and MP3 playback.

PEG-TJ25 CLIE Handheld

This CLIE's disappointing software and feature set make it a less than ideal choice when compared to the competition.

Specs: Palm OS 5.2, 16 MB, Motorola 200 MHz, IrDA, 3 in x 0.5 in x 4.3 in, Stylus, Jog Dial, Touch-screen

PEG-NX73V CLIE Handheld

Sony CLIÉ PEG-SJ33

While it has some flaws, the SJ33's fast processor and integrated MP3 player make it a good deal for the price.
