If you're looking for a slim, stylish model to be your personal assitant, you may have to give up your dreams of Travis and make do with the digital variety.
Electronic organisers are no longer the sole preserve of the male executive and there's now plenty available that you wouldn't be ashamed to slip in your handbag. Here's our guide to the best three out there.
HP iPaq 1940
The iPaq has a lovely, delicate feel, but is tough enough for you to sling in your bag without causing any major damage. Lightweight and slim, the silver chassis is simple yet stylish.

Palm Zire 71
The silver and blue casing of this excellent handheld slides up to reveal a digital camera capable of taking some surprisingly good pictures. If you don't want to spend so much there's a no-frills, budget version called the Zire 21 with white casing, black and white screen and no camera.
Zire 71 price: £179
Zire 21 price: £120

Sony Clie TJ25
This natty little PDA is just what you'd expect from Sony: tiny, shiny and trendy. It may not have any fancy-pants hi-tech features, but it does a good job of keeping track of your busy life for you - and it looks good while it's doing it. You can't ask more than that.

Our group uses the 1940 and is very happy with it. But the main problem for the girls when working is that they don't carry a purse with them (trainee doctors). And most don't wear a belt...so has anyone found a neat way for carrying a PDA which is not belt dependent - some sort of small over the shoulder mini-purse with a PDA slot? Or some other idea??
