`
`The majority of Windows CE
`systems will probably be users'

`third—PC. The big bang for the
`buck with these miniature sys-
`tems comes from their ability to
`take advantage of the familiar
`windows

`
`PDA~ocntric operating systems
`tried {without much success) to
`build
`proprietary
`interfaces
`around communica-

`The three systems we tested had
`a lot in common. Each fits easily
`into a jacket: breast pocket. a

`at about
`three-quarters of a

`niences stand out. though: You
`must haven-mail filteredthrough
`a POPS server. and you have to
`input data by using a combina-
`tion of the unit‘s cramped (hut

`board and its stylus on the
`pressure-sensitive screen. During
`evaluation. we frequently found
`ourselves finger-tied and won-
`dering what to do with the stylus.
`
` in the works. including DataViz
`
`and Puma (file-conversion and ~
`synchronization utilities). Sym-
`antec (contact-management ap-
`plications). and Wright Systems
`(mobile forms programs).
`Many of those applications
`aren't out yet. so some Users
`parked in front of Pocket Excel
`and Pocket Word on a Windows
`
`CE palmtop may be disappoint-
`ed. They should remind them-
`selves. hoWever. that spread—
`sheet
`and word processor
`programs made their way to
`PDAs due to the earlyctforts at
`such FDA pioneers as Hewlett-
`Packard (the LX series of
`PDAs) and Sharp {the Zaurus
`series of PDAs}. With Windows
`running on these palmtops. the
`promise of a wave of applica-
`tions ported to Windows CE
`can't be dismissed.
`The weak link in the FDA
`
`chain remains the obligatory
`small. monochrome LCD pan-
`els. The
`tiny.
`rudimentary
`screens that adorn these units
`
`don‘t exactly afford panoramic
`views of Web pages; for that mat-
`ter. they don't even offer even
`the luxuryofoolor. After years of

`
`Although these PDAs look
`alike from a distance. a closer
`examination shows that each
`
`has a different focus and config-
`uration. The Velo 1. which is
`clearly positioned for the enter-
`prise user. was the only PDA
`to include a built-in v.32bis
`
`modem: the others depend on
`PC Card modems for conununi-
`
`cations support. in addition. the
`Velo 1 is the most expandable.
`with a maximum RAM ceiling
`of 36MB. while the others top
`out at 8MB of RAM. To many
`this may sound like semicon»
`doctor overkill. but we envision
`complex database and commu-
`nication applications that may
`need this much memory.
`As far as software goes. each
`system also goes its own way.
`For example. the Cassiopeia
`comes with a financial calc-
`
`ulator that can help you with
`bond interest or mortgage paya
`merits. while the Mobiler
`adds a CD-ROM—based set of
`
`utilities for synchronizing data
`with a desktop or mobile PC.
`The Velo 1 comes with both
`Pocket Quicken home finance
`software and a handy voice
`memo application for storing
`and organizing recorded sound
`bites.

`
`Despite being based on a range
`of different processors. these
`three first-generation
`Windows CE units
`
`didn‘t reveal huge per-
`ion'nance differences.
`_ Nevertheless. the Velo 1

`range performer of this Wnidows
`CE trio. On its Pocket Excel re-
`calculation and Pocket Word
`
`spell check, the MobilePro was
`nestled between the Cassiopeia
`at the low end and the Velo 1 at
`
`the high end.
`In addition to the standard
`
`software offerings in Windows
`(IE—including Pocket Word,
`Pocket Excel. lntemet Explorer
`2.0. and several PIM modules-—
`the MobilePro comes with a
`CD-ROM—based set of utilities
`
`called Windows CE Manager
`for synchronizing data between
`the FDA and a desktop PC.
`These applications made it easi-
`er to keep your data up to date
`and in the right place.
`At $649. the 4MB MobilePro
`emphasizes the synchronization
`of data with a desktop or note-
`book PC and could very well be
`the value compromise between
`the power and flexibility of the
`Velo 1 and the economy of the
`Catniopeia. It‘s the Wrodows CE
`FDA for those who need to live
`
`on a strict budget but don‘t want
`to compromise.

`NEC Electronic:
`
`EC‘s MobilePro 400 is a fully
`functional Windows CE sys-
`tem that is middle of the road in
`
`one IrDA infrared wireless port.
`The Mobile Pro comes in two
`flavors: a MobilePro 200 version
`with 2MB of RAM and the
`4MB MobileProIlflt} we evalu-
`ated. Both versions come with
`
`8MB of ROM. which is equal to
`that ofthe Velo 1 and twice that
`
`of the Cassiopeia.

`Like the Cassiopeia.
`MohilePro has a barely passable
`{1.5-inch speaker on the left side
`of the display panel for sound

`Pro Cradle. which facilitates

`The MobilePro is based on 3

`NEC V4101 CPU running at 33
`MHz. On our tests. the Mobile-
`Pro was the mid-

`
`a day on the job. it weighs 13
`ounces with its pair of AA bat“
`teries in place but without its
`AC adapter. The device can ac-
`cept a Type II PC Card. and it
`has a serial port and an IrDA
`wireless infrared port.
`Like the MobilePro. the Cas-
`siopeia comes in two memory
`configuration The A-tfl model
`we looked at came equipped
`with 2MB of RAM. but we sug-
`gest you consider the A-ll
`model. which comes with 4MB
`of RAM and costs about $100
`more. Both the A-lt] and A-ll
`units come with 4MB of ROM.

`MobiloPro and Velo 1. This

`First Looks
`
`Phillips Mobile Computing Group
`
`M1
`
`Positioned to ap-
`peal to enterprise
`users who want
`
`highend features
`and are willing to
`pay a little extra,
`the Velo 1 costs
`5699. But it's Well
`
`worth the price because of its in-
`cluded array ofgoodies—from a
`built-in modem to its synchro-
`nization cradle—that are aimed
`
`at power-hungry users.
`Ready for the road the Vela 1
`measures 6.8» by 3.7- by 1-inch
`and weighs 13 ounces without its
`AC adapter but with two AA
`batteries installed. Like the
`MobilePro. the Velo 1 comes
`with 8MB of ROM; the Cas-
`siopeia comes with half as much.
`The oddball of the group, the
`Velo 1 uses a DRAM Mini Card
`
`slot for memory expansion of up
`to 36MB: there‘s also a flash
`
`memory Mini Card slot. Unlike
`the other two PDAs. the Velo 1
`itselfdwsn't have a PC Card slot.
`and for larger-scale expansion
`
`you need to use the external Type
`[1 PC Card bay. The system does
`have a serial port
`and an IrDA in-
`
`frared port.
`The sculpted Vela
`1 has easily the mast
`refined design of the
`bunch. To the left of
`
`its display is a pop-
`out toggle for an PJ-
`11 phone jack. mak-
`ing it the only one of the three to
`be communications-ready out of
`the box; the others require a PC
`Card modem to make a connec»
`
`lion. In addition, to the right of
`the display is a small button,
`which when pushed lights the
`screen for added visibility The
`donmide ofthis communications
`
`equation is that with the modem
`operating. battery life is decimat-
`ed. so plan on bringing the AC
`adapter along with you.
`Built around a MIPS Iii-3900
`
`32-bit processor running at 36.6
`MHz, the Velo I placed first on
`all three of our performance
`tests. On our recalculation tests
`
`Pocket Word file. and the open-
`ing of a file. the Vela 1 was al-
`ways at least a second ahead of
`the other two.
`The Velo 1 unit we looked
`at came with its own mix of
`software in addition to the
`standard Windows CE fare.
`
`with a 25K Pocket Excel spread-
`sheet, the spell-checking of a
`
`The Velo 1 has a handy set of

`
`
`for popping up interact Ex—
`plorer. Excel. or any of several
`other applications. In addition.
`there’s a copy of Pocket Quick-
`en for running the family fi—
`nance numbers while you‘re on
`the road.
`
`interesting pro-
`The most
`gram is the Velo 1':- Voice
`Memo application, which al-
`lows the user to record brief
`voice memos via a built-in mi-
`
`crophone and store them in
`Windows Explorer—like tree
`fashion. As with the other two.
`the Vela 1'5 on-hoard speaker
`was barely adequate.
`Positioned as the power-
`user‘s hand-held computer, the
`Vela 1‘s $699 price includes a
`docking station and built-in
`modern. The system is clearly
`the fastest‘ most expandable.
`and most feature-rich unit we
`
`tested. Compared to the Cas-
`siopeia and Mobilel’ro.
`the
`Velo 1 looks and feels like a
`
`second-generation system. and
`it is our choice for taking your
`data and favorite applications
`on the road.
