CNET Review
The Good: The HP iPaq hx2790 boasts Windows Mobile 5, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and a fingerprint reader for added security. The PDA also performed well in CNET Labs' tests.
The Bad: The chunky and heavy HP iPaq hx2790 has a low-resolution screen compared with its competitors, and it's expensive.
The Bottom Line: The HP iPaq hx2790 is a PDA for those who are looking for a traditional, businesscentric approach to ultraportable computing and don't mind paying for it.
