They are all manufactured by Panasonic. Their difference are: CF-150B uses lead acid battery instead of nicad which has less problem with "memory" on the battery level.(correct me if I am wrong, but I read this from PC-laptop magazine). The CF-150B has backlighting which Tandy doesn't have. And you can usually find CF-150B sell for under $600, good luck and happy shopping -Albert
