Summary: Clio is great
Review: I own a Vadem Clio and I love it. With a built in modem and the Microsoft Pocket Office software it is the perfect companion to a traveler who doesn't want to lug around a laptop or can't afford one. Its very lightweight and the power cord is very small so it can easily fit inbetween items in your suitcase as well.The only downside is that like other laptops, if something integrated into the device stops working (ie. the modem) it can get very costly. I did, however, find a way around this and learned that there is a PCMCIA port on the Clio where you can just plug in a standard laptop modem or any PCMCIA device!

Summary: Get a REAL laptop or PDA!
Review: My company got about 2 dozen of these things about two years ago.....I am guessing that they thought they looked cool or something. As a member of the IT support staff, these things are a complete nightmare. The power supplies are touchy, the memory corrupts and needs to be flashed often, and the keys on the keyboard are not very durable. In addition, Windows CE is just a plan bad OS. Top it all off with little or no service if they do break. We found some company out of California who is charging an arm and a leg per machine that we might as well invest into a real laptop. On the plus side, these do make really nice door stops.
