Not only does it feature calendar, address book and e-mail functions, but it also allows you to create Microsoft Word and Excel files on the go. It's one of the most business-savvy personal digital assistants we've seen,'' said Cecilia Wessner, Editor-In-Chief of Popular Science. ``Compaq's Home Internet Appliance is the first device to deliver e-mail and the Web in a stylish, easy-to-use package. Bringing up the Web takes just a single touch, and the opening screen displays unread e-mail, online chat partners and local news. What could be easier?'' According to Popular Science, Compaq's Home Internet Appliance ``is the first machine to deliver e-mail and Web access in a package that won't embarrass you in front of the neighbors.'' The new iPAQ Home Internet Appliance is available for $599 plus $21.95 for Microsoft Network Service. And, rebates are available to further reduce the cost. ``The awards from Popular Science reaffirm the value and quality that Compaq is delivering to consumers to enhance their ability for anytime and anywhere access to the Web,'' said Jack Novia, Compaq's vice president of Northeast region enterprise sales. ``Offerings like the iPAQ Home Internet Appliance and the iPAQ Pocket PC introduce customers to the new world of computing by offering easy and simple access to the full benefits of the Internet.''
