News: BlackBerry in Blue
The latest BlackBerry is slimmer than earlier models, measuring 4.5 by 2.9 by 0.8 inches and weighing 4.8 ounces. The BlackBerry 6210 is a PDA/cell phone combo unit that sports a stylish metallic blue case, offers twice the memory (16MB of flash plus 2MB of RAM, compared to 8MB of flash and 1MB of RAM in older models), and connects to a PC via USB port. What's more, the 6210 offers wireless two-way e-mail synchronization, so that messages you delete on the BlackBerry don't have to be deleted again on your desktop.

Bsquare recently showed off an in-the-works cell phone/PDA combo, the Skeye.Mobil, that looks a bit like a pocket-size Windows XP notebook. The device is meant to be held in landscape mode, measures 5.5 by 3.4 by 0.8 inches, weighs a slightly hefty 10.6 ounces, sports a good-looking 65,536-color 4-inch active-matrix touch-screen display, and a slide-out QWERTY keyboard. An included utility lets you view documents in 80 different file formats. The target market includes health care, real estate, and enterprise users. The device will most likely sell for $600 to $800.
