However, every now and then there comes a PDA that has our areolas pulling their finest impression of the pyramids of Egypt. The H5450 is one such PDA -- here’s why

Atomic doesn’t often look at PDAs, as they generally don’t get our nipples hard – the response is usually more semi-flaccid. However, every now and then there comes a PDA that has our areolas pulling their finest impression of the pyramids of Egypt. The H5450 is one such PDA -- here’s why.
 
The most obvious coolio feature of this PDA is its biometric finger scanner. You heard right -- this PDA has its own finger scanner. And best of all, it actually works! With this feature activated you can be sure that your sensitive documents are going to stay private. If you’re silly enough to grind the finger you used into mince meat, and thus can’t use the finger scanner, you’ll have to wipe the entire memory of the unit, losing all applications and data. So you can be sure that even if you lose the unit, there is no way for anyone else to view your files.
 
The other highlight that sets this unit apart from the rest is its connectivity features. First off the bat is integrated Bluetooth support, allowing you to pair it up with a compatible mobile phone for dial-up network access. Even more impressive than this is its integrated wireless LAN support. The H5450 supports the 802.11b protocol, and is no more difficult to set up to run off your wireless LAN than a standard PC.
 
Other than these features the H5450 is a fairly stock standard iPAQ Pocket PC, which is no bad thing. The 400MHz PXA250 XScale processor, paired up with 64MB of built-in memory and 48MB of ROM ensures that using the H5450 is a quick and lag-free affair.
 
The only thing that’s going to hold back prospective PDA buyers from purchasing this device is its cost. At $1,499, it’s one of the most expensive PDAs on the market -- thankfully its comprehensive suite of functions, most of which are useful unlike certain other PDAs, still makes it a compelling purchase.
