GPS Review: HP's Travel Companion
At $600, the new HP iPaq rx5000 series Travel Companion devices are a bit pricey. But the PDAs offer lots of functionality that many other handheld GPS devices don't, including Wi-Fi and Bluetooth networking. The $600 Windows Mobile 5.0 device has a 3.5-inch color screen and features world clocks, currency converters, a global dialing code guide, and global weather forecasts. You can also listen to MP3 files, watch videos, and play games.
