I started to do some research into these for a company I used to work for.
The boss wasn't too interested in using new technology so we spent ~200
man hours doing it the old way.  I originally got the information from a
set of reviews PC Magazine did.  The article described the features of each
model but didn't do any of their fancy comparisons.  If you need Vol/Issue 
email me.  From there I started mailing requests to the companies that 
advertised in the back of PC Magazine and Computer Shopper.  I thought that 
the model that suited our purpose best was the one that was about the size 
of a credit card and came in different configurations of memory.  Can't
remeber the name right now.  Sorry I can't shed more light on the subject.
