MODEL AND PRICE THE SKINNY
REX PRO, All your contact and calendar information
Franklin Electronic in a credit-card-size package. Very difficult
Publishers data entry makes this effectively a read-only
$210 device.
PALM III, 3Com The king of the handhelds, with good
$350 reason. Simple, easy-to-use design more
than compensates for mediocre display.
NINO 300, Philips Sleek design, but bulky
Mobile Computing for a palmtop.
$349
CASSIOPEIA E-11, Convenient small size, but relatively dim
Casio screen makes the complex Windows interface
$390 difficult.
