While devices like the BlackBerry and HP’s own iPAQ hw6965 are targeted at busy professionals, the iPAQ rw6828 is aimed at hip, tech-savvy users who want to extend their multimedia capabilities. As such, the rw6828 features a larger-than-average screen that is bright and colourful, making it ideal for viewing videos and photos. It also has impressive audio credentials, with a built-in FM radio and MP3 player, as well as stereo speakers.

It packs plenty of connectivity options, including a tri-band GSM mobile, GRPS, Bluetooth and WiFi networking, although there’s no support for 3G mobile networks.

The compromise is the lack of a keyboard of any sort, with all interface managed through the few buttons and the rest handled via the touch screen.
