JiWire's Quick Take
Likes
Built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, 4GB storage, USB drive mode, full-featured entertainment and office software suite, portrait/landscape display switching.
Dislikes
Relatively short battery life, big and heavy for a PDA, high price tag, unequal Mac support.
Good for
Those who want to be able to store and view all their multimedia and office documents while on the road, as well as access the Web at hotspots.
Bad for
Those who want an integrated phone/PIM device -- they would be better off with a Treo.

PC Magazine "It's a cool new device for the gadget fanatic who wants to do a bit of everything on a regular basis, whether play a movie, game, or music, pull up photos, do some tolerable Web surfing, view or work on the occasional Office document, or look up an address. It's the first device we've seen that can actually handle all these tasks, even if it's not the best at any one in particular."
CNET "There isn't too much the PalmOne LifeDrive can't do with its integrated hard drive, its wireless connectivity, and its multimedia capabilities, but it's way too expensive."
