Official Toshiba
http://computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/product_page.jsp?z=183&PRODUCT_ID=16250&DISC_MODEL=0
Toshiba has launched some official information on their site regarding the e310. Man, this thing looks hot! Ultra-thin, great price point.
"This super-thin Pocket PC is the ultimate personal assistant, keeping you totally organised, informed and entertained on the move. It�s incredibly slim and lightweight so it can be taken anywhere. It�s also fully expandable � just slot in extra memory and applications when you need them. Drop in a Bluetooth� SD� card and this amazing gadget becomes fully wireless too, so you can use e-mail and surf the web with no wires to hold you back. You�ll find all software pre-installed for use out of the box, and you�ll never run short of power thanks to the long battery life. All at a price that�s amazingly easy on your pocket."
Thanks to Mark Hansen for the link!

Wow, almost the same size as Palm m515! In inches, Toshiba is 4.9x3.1x0.5 vs Palm at 4.5x3.1x0.5.
I know a big complaint about the Maestro is its battery life. The new one is (still) using an 1000mAh cell. For reference, the Casio E-125's battery is 1400mAh Although, my wife does use the Maestro as a PDA (as opposed to as a MP3 player or a gameboy) and she has not complained about the battery life.

USA?
This is Toshiba Europe. Will there be a USA/Canadian version or are they just lagging behind in updating their site since it was demonstrated in Europe today?

AND the Web site claims a TWO-year warranty. Compare that to all the others out there!

Wheres the CF slot? I need 802.11b access. Well I hope there is going to be sleeve of some sort. If not then the Maestro is still looking good to me. I hope they come out with a better battery soon.

Ah crap. It's using a reflective LCD. I'll never touch another device that uses that flawed display technology again.

Mmmm, no CF in a half and inch thick product. Well, I guess it is possibly... Hopefully with the new SD I/O standards there will be some more wireless cards coming out for SD. In some ways I wish Wes (PDABuzz) had been right that it was $299 because then it would be very competitive with the Maestro.

If I am not mistaken, isn't this the first PPC2K2 device to officially state that it supports SDIO? I haven't seen any of the other OEMs state that their devices support SDIO cards. I could be wrong, however. I do know that my iPAQ 3835 doesn't support SDIO... heck, it doesn't even support speeds faster than MMC through the so-called "SD slot" it has.
