How about CE based "PC Companion". I have a colour Sharp HC4500, with inbuilt pocket MS office. Automatic synch to the desktop of my home computer (a laptop - I havent had a desktop at home for 3 years). It has 16Mb of memory and because of the small code used, the 73Mhz processor behaves like a pentium. After 2 weeks I remain very impressed, and think that the concept of PC companion is a useful one. I can pick up email on it at the surgery, off line browse and reply or delete, sending the replies when I next connect (like this one - actually its now 0955 on Thurs am, 1 pt has DNA'd so Im going through my email!
