PC Computing Names Winner of First Annual 'Handheld PC Torture Test' PRNewswire - 11:14 a.m. Nov 12, 1998 Eastern SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) shipments to the U.S. grew 110 percent last year*, making this one of the hottest technology product categories around. Business professionals love them because they help road warriors stay in touch on the road -- and also lighten their briefcases. But can these tiny wonders -- which contain every business person's most crucial work data, like phone numbers and contacts -- survive a fall from a desk, or out of an airplane's overhead luggage compartment? To find out, PC Computing, the 1,000,000-circulation Ziff-Davis (NYSE: ZD) magazine for technology-focused business professionals, conducted the first annual "Handheld PC Torture Test." Test results, including torture survivors and editors' picks, are reported in December's PC Computing, on newsstands next week. Modeled after PC Computing's famous "Notebook Torture Test," the "Handheld PC Torture Test" re-created the kinds of indignities that millions of business professionals inflict on their PDAs day in and day out. Editors took thirteen of the latest pocket size PCs and simulated the rigors of business travel by baking them, freezing them, dropping them -- and for the coup de grace -- spilling coffee on them. Taking home top honors in the inaugural "Handheld PC Torture Test:" 3Com's Palm III, lauded by PC Computing editors for its winning combination of durability, performance, price and features. guide-p.infoseek.com o~~~ O
