Garmin is a brand that’s been synonymous with GPS navigation since the days when only mariners were using it. So it’s somewhat disappointing that the iQue 3600 doesn’t compare well to the competition here.

Cheap to buy and run, the X5470 is great for mono printing, but less so for photos and images.

Not great value for money, but the XPS 700 offers plenty of power and striking looks.

A good display that’s fine for office use and any work that needs the resolution, but it isn’t a contender for the A-List.

The n35 is a complete navigation kit comprising a capable PDA with integrated GPS receiver (that folds down flush into the back), CoPilot Live 5 software, a sturdy windscreen mount and a cigarette lighter adaptor. At this price, it’s noticeably the cheapest PDA on test.

Custom design watercooling and some judicious overclocking make for a showstopping performance and price.

Speedy and adequately functional for light use, the UX27– though not perfect – is the best UMPC yet.

The Navman looks and feels like a quality PDA.

Packed with extras to target some of Vista’s interesting new features, but it isn’t quite the marvel we were hoping for.
