Compared to Dell and Hewlett-Packard, Palm had some catching up to do in terms of offering a reasonably priced PDA with built-in Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. And though I haven't tested the Palm T|X , Palm appears to have finally caught up.
The T|X is a stylish handheld with a beautiful screen and ample storage (128MB, about 100MB of which is usable) that also lets you listen to MP3 files. It lists for $299; our Product Finder has the latest prices.

Looking for a low-cost notebook? Dell's new Inspiron 1200 is a basic work machine that also burns CDs, at prices starting around $550. But there are better-looking, better-equipped $500 notebooks available, saysPC World's Carla Thornton.
With its good looks and strong feature set that includes a 60GB hard drive, built-in Wi-Fi, and a 15-inch XGA screen, the Acer Aspire AS3003LCi is a bargain. When we reviewed the notebook in October, it could be found for $499 (including rebate and store-specific offers); check our Product Finder for current prices.
Sprint Nextel's PCS Vision Smart Device PPC-6700 , the first mobile phone equipped with Windows Mobile 5.0, features a slide-out keyboard that's wider and more notebook-esque than RIM BlackBerry-style microkeyboards, saysPC WorldEditor in Chief Harry McCracken.
The smart phone/notebook alternative, which runs on Sprint's CDMA network, includes mobile editions of Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint; a 1.3-megapixel camera; a MiniSD (Secure Digital) card slot; Bluetooth; and support for Sprint's EvDO wireless broadband network. The device costs $480 with a two-year service contract.
Is there a particularly cool mobile computing product or service I've missed? Got a spare story idea in your back pocket? Tell me about it . However, I regret that I'm unable to respond to tech-support questions, due to the volume of e-mail I receive.
