| Review summary | The Palm TX offers a winning package of wireless connectivity, productivity tools, and fun for users of all kinds. | The Dell Axim X51 series offers a nice combination of features, but we were disappointed by the subpar battery life. | CNET editor's take | 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. | CNET editor's take | If you can live without Wi-Fi, the midpriced Palm Zire 72 is a well-rounded PDA with features suited for both work and play. |
