Review: Latest Pocket PC OS Not a Must-Have

PCWorld.com reviewer Yardena Arar tested Windows Mobile 2003, the update to Microsoft's Pocket PC 2002 operating system, and found it to be so-so. The new OS makes setting up a Wi-Fi connection easier, and enterprises will appreciate the virtual private network client and other data security improvements. Otherwise, the new OS, which may be available as a download for some Pocket PC 2002 models, is not essential, Arar says. Windows Mobile was tested on Hewlett-Packard's new IPaq H2210 and a wireless-enabled Toshiba E755.

News: Dana Goes Wireless

AlphaSmart has announced plans for a new version of the Dana, a Palm OS-based notebook alternative. The new edition will include built-in 802.11b technology for wireless e-mail and Web surfing. The Dana Wireless also includes enhanced spell checking, built-in USB modem drivers, and other improvements. It should be available by the time you read this; pricing wasn't released as of this writing.
