Winner: G100, Good Technology, (866) 7 BE GOOD, (408) 400-4800. www.good.com
Unlike PDAs that try to be all things to all people, Good Technology's G100 is an ultraportable mobile computing device that focuses on one task: enterprise wireless e-mail. OK, Good also provides PIM support for contact lists, tasks and calendaring, but wireless e-mail is
clearly the draw. The device is small, but not too small, and the interface is elegant. Unlike many competitive solutions that require the periodic use of a cradle to synchronize PIM info and e-mail, the G100, used in conjunction with the vendor's GoodLink service, provides real-time wireless sync with a Microsoft Exchange groupware system using Cingular's widely available and affordable Mobitex wireless service. Using 3DES encryption, the system is also secure. You can manage devices centrally, including deleting all content from lost or stolen devices. The G100 isn't the be-all and end-all mobile computing device, but for wireless e-mail in Exchange environments, it's awfully tough to beat.
