The scoop: Palm TX handheld, by Palm, about $300
What it is: The Palm TX combines the best features of a business-oriented handheld (organizer, document viewer, Web and e-mail) with the best features of a consumer handheld device (photo viewer, music and video player). The TX includes a high-resolution screen (320 by 480 pixels), integrated Wi-Fi and Bluetooth wireless connectivity, and a 312-MHz processor.

Why it's cool: I like this model because it merges the best of both worlds into one device. Treo converged devices are nice if you want a cell phone and PDA, but those come with a higher price tag and a monthly service fee. The addition of embedded Wi-Fi and Bluetooth on this device provides some network connectivity for Web browsing and e-mail access, so you can get your e-mail without investing in a Treo or other device. Even Wi-Fi Protected Access security with the preshared key option is supported, so users can connect to their secured wireless networks. Kudos to Palm for thinking that some wireless networks are actually secured instead of wide open.
Some caveats: There's no embedded digital camera - but like those who will have a separate cell phone, users of the TX will likely have a different digital camera - they're more concerned with having integrated Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.

The scoop: Gateway Convertible Notebook (CX200x ), about $1,400, by Gateway
What it is: The Gateway Convertible Notebook is a study in contrasts. It has a 14-inch widescreen display, one of the first tablets we've seen with that. Since this is a tablet, users will want to write on the screen and carry it around. Because the larger display creates a heavier notebook, this works against the concept of a tablet.
