Hand-held tech for grown-ups

I've been under a rock for the past few years (advanced degree, baby, other things) and have completely missed following the whole cell phone to palm-top computer to iPad to eBook thing. Now it seems like there are so many different gizmos, but they all do different things. Last I was aware laptops and cellphones that could text each other were the big things. Is there a nice user-friendly site that can get me caught up on all the various types of popular hand-held devices?

    For phones, it's a much bigger set of brands and technologies, primarily Apple's iPhone, the Google-powered Android, and Microsoft's Windows Phone 7. RIM and Nokia seem to straggle this generation.

    Can you be any more specific as to what sort of information/comparison you're looking for?
