What the S500i lacks in the high-end gadgetry of its competition, it makes up for it in style, ease-of-use and its budget price tag.
The touchscreen interface and sexier design will be enough to make knees tremble, however, the Viewty's 5-megapixel camera falls short of our expectations.
Hosted CMS and blog solutions litter the market, yet none offer Terapad's combination of simplicity and functionality.
If the Touch is the player that you want, that you really, really want, you've probably got one already. Fence-sitters should stay there until next year when third-party apps or version 2.0 comes out.
Apple's new iWork becomes a more well-rounded productivity package by adding Numbers for spreadsheets. Pages and Keynote include some nifty visual enhancements too.
Given all the great consumer-facing open source software available, I figured I'd try to evaluate and write reviews on those I use most often. Open source long ago stopped being about developers for other developers. Here's proof.

Apple's iPhone hasn't even made it onto store shelves yet, but it already faces a growing number of rivals, from Cisco to Nokia and even Prada.
The Telstra F850 offers a relatively inexpensive way to jump aboard the carrier's Next G platform, as long as you don't mind travelling in the slow lane.
