Elink
Motient, the operator of the nation's largest wireless radio
network, now offers elink,
a two-way wireless email service for the RIM handheld. Although
the Palm i705 has received all the glitzy media attention, hard-core
wireless email users know the RIM
handheld (sometimes called a "Blackberry") is the
ultimate email gadget. The Palm requires you to constantly turn it
on to check for messages, while the RIM works more like a pager,
delivering messages proactively. The tiny keyboard actually works,
a unique trackwheel provides effortless stylus-free navigation,
and a built-in calendar and to-do list syncs with your
desktop.

Alright, Mr. DeMille, I'm ready for my phone call.
Manage your contacts, appointments and e-mail without lugging a laptop.
All of the products from Palm
and Handspring use the
fast, versatile, Palm operating system. Microsoft's handheld
operating system, Windows CE, is more colorful and provides better
integration with Windows desktop software, but you sacrifice
ease-of-use and battery life. If you must have a Windows CE
device, try the Compaq
Compaq iPaq H3650 Pocket PC.
Yell at them to your heart's content.
Wildfire is a dial-up, speech-driven
voicemail and appointment management service.
