Dell Axim X50v
Contact: Dell * 800-999-3355
Web: http://www.dell.com
Price: $500
Summary
Pros: Most powerful Pocket PC available; stunning VGA screen that you can use in landscape or portrait mode
Cons: Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition is lackluster, with few improvements over the earlier version
Rating: 5 out of 5
Recommendation:
The Axim X50v is the first Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition—based PDA to offer both a VGA 640 × 480 screen—twice the resolution of most PDAs—and the software improvements in Microsoft's latest Pocket PC OS. The almost surreally powerful X50v is hobbled only by Microsoft's lazy approach to updating its Pocket PC software.

MSN Toolbar Suite
Contact: Microsoft * 800-426-9400
Web: http://www.microsoft.com
Price: Free
Summary
Pros: Delivers most of the desktop search features Microsoft promised for Longhorn; includes the best Microsoft Outlook search functionality I've seen
Cons: Isn't an enterprise product
Rating: 5 out of 5
Recommendation:
The MSN Toolbar Suite dramatically enhances the way you find information on your PC and on the Web. If you've been dismayed by the weak local desktop search support in Windows or Outlook or have been looking for a more integrated search experience, the MSN Toolbar Suite is the answer. And if you've been waiting for Longhorn to deliver an awesome desktop search experience, wait no more. It's here today in the MSN Toolbar Suite. Highly recommended.
