Review summary There isn't too much the PalmOne LifeDrive can't do with its integrated hard drive, its wireless connectivity, and its multimedia capabilities, but it's way too expensive. 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.
