________
PDAs with a wireless cellular module, aka communicators, are manufactured for various operating systems. The fastest development rates are demonstrated in the sector of devices operated under Windows Mobile 5.0 (WM 5.0). They take up most part of the market of high-performance mobile computers. Such devices are conventionally classified by their controls. The first group is the largest — candy-bar communicators, resembling very much usual PDAs without a keyboard, for example, Qtek S200, E-Ten M600+, O2 XDA Atom. Communicators from the second group can boast of a QWERTY keyboard or the like. The keyboard can be right on the front panel, like in Palm Treo 700w, or slide out of the device. In the latter case a communicator is a slider consisting of two moving parts that looks like a candy-bar PDA, but just a tad thicker. HTC Wizard platform has been the first and only representative of this class up to recently. More than six months after its release, HTC offered a sequel - Hermes.
