It's obvious that PDAs are already compact and travel-friendly, but not all handhelds are created equal. With all the features that are going into these devices, some can get downright clunky and heavy. However, these three PDAs boast small form factors and do so without sacrificing key features, such as wireless connectivity or performance. Read our reviews of the Palm Tungsten E2, the Palm Z22, the HP iPaq rx1950, and the Palm TX to see if one is right for you. More resources

| Review summary | The Palm Tungsten E2 delivers the sleek and affordable combination of productivity and entertainment in a package that should satisfy mobile professionals and consumers alike. | The Palm Z22 provides an affordable, very basic, and easy-to-use PDA suitable for first-time buyers and technophobes. | Light, thin, and ready for just about anything the business world can throw at it, HP's iPaq rx1950 is a strong performer but falls short with lack of Bluetooth and low memory. | The Palm TX offers a winning package of wireless connectivity, productivity tools, and fun for users of all kinds. |
