Yes, it does.
But, the 640x480 files are huge.

I know I don't have 640x480 futurama - but if I do have something larger then 320x240, it's nice to know it'll be able to fit on there just nicely.

The E800 is back on the list for now

Cheers! It would be brilliant if somebody could write one; if it was for standard HID joypads then I could get a mini joypad or alternatively my PSX one!
I think the e800 is the PDA for me anyway, I can't wait/afford the E830 and I can't see the 120mhz doing much for me, don't need bluetooth really (for the TINY amount of time I'll go online via my phone, IR will do) and although the extra speed of the X30 would be nice, I can't quite see myself using it.
Thanks everyone, I'll report back when I get it!

Just got my e805 from a Brighthand member. Woo-hoo, what a beautiful screen! I am a big Palm user (and a PPC newbie,) and the Toshiba's screen is WAY more impressive than the extended screen on my TH55, (though of the the Palm devices, the TT3's screen is in many ways, just as impressive.)

I am planning on using my Toshiba mainly for web surfing, and ebook reading right now. As I get up to speed, I may end up using it as my main PDA. The main issue will be the size. I should have a Covertec case coming sometime this later this week; I'll have to see how it goes carrying it in my jacket with that case.

I am also awaiting a Socket BT CF card, which will allow me to have both Wi-Fi and BT on this one device. The Socket card, (as I understand,) is small enough to fit flush with the device, so I am planning on leaving it in the Toshiba all of the time.

In short, I am really excited about my Toshiba. Used e805's are priced pretty reasonably compared to the e830 and the other new VGA devices coming from HP and Asus. If you can't see yourself spending >$500 for a PDA, an e805 might be the way to go.

I'm strongly considering buying the PP since Toshiba has it on sale for half off, but am worried by comments like this. Could you clarify what your experiences are? Is it just IA Mirror that is so slow, or is IA Presenter a dog as well? I don't plan on using FMV or transitions in my presentations.
