Default Question about OBD-II

Hi,
I am shopping for a OBD-II reader. Nothing fancy, just something that can pull all sensor data at runtime and preferably something that I can connect to a handheld device like palm pilot or pocket pc.
I have narrowed it down to these two -

http://www.digimoto.com
http://www.tekmatetools.com

Now are there any sensor data that the third party scan tools cannot read or identify and can be read only by the honda obd scanner ? Will any of these two above mentioned obd-2 scanners be able to read all available sensor data from the honda obd-2 ?

Thanks.

As Jim Blake said, I dont want to just read codes. I can get that done free at Autozone.

I want to read sensor data.

you mean like the data list? look at the helminc website in my signature and look at the honda pocket tester. It's a PDA that connects to your DLC. It will do pretty much anything you want to do.
PM me and I could get it at an employee price.
