This PDA is a full featured handheld device which has both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi capabilities. With the included software you can easily stay in contact with co-workers and clients and keep your data synced between devices.

You don't have to worry about working in unfamiliar formats or learning a new program, as this PDA has pocket versions of MS Word, Excel, Outlook and Internet Explorer.

This PDA also includes voice recorder capabilities which increases the functionality and means one less gadget to worry about packing for business trips. Another beneficial addition to this PDA is the inclusion of HP ProtectTools software which allows you to set a password or PIN for access and you can encrypt data on the PDA and SD cards.

Overall, a very good PDA for mobile professionals to consider if they are updating or purchasing a PDA for the first time.
