Wireless handheld devices and services compare-o-matic

Network World Fusion, 09/24/01

The compare-o-matic lets you compare two or more wireless devices or services based on criteria you set. Select whichever criteria you are most interested in, and the system will create a comparison table. Note: While you could select every app and every criterion, that would result in a table roughly the size of Rhode Island. Also, Internet Explorer 3.x and Lynx do not display the results tables properly.
