Review summary The HP iPaq rx5900 Travel Companion delivers a sleek all-in-one navigation, productivity, and entertainment device to mobile professionals; we just wish it had better battery life. The handheld meets the laptop in Sony's fully loaded, clamshell-style CLIE UX-50 PDA. Only built-in Wi-Fi is missing from Sony's otherwise fully loaded, clamshell-style CLIE UX40 PDA. It's longer than your average Pocket PC, but its integrated keyboard and higher-capacity battery make the H4350 a top choice for heavy Wi-Fi users. Despite its poor battery life, this Garmin is a powerful PDA and an accomplished GPS device.
