At $369 after rebates, this falls into the "smokin' deal" category - if you've been waiting for the "high end" Pocket PCs to come down in price, this might be a good opportunity to make the jump. Affiliate link. UPDATE: Either that price was a mistake, or the deal ended, because the price is back up to $469.

In the next few months, we will hear a lot of discounts/rebates for all brands if they want to keep or get more market share. Viewsonic started this with $299 device and then Dell will follow with $199 (incredible). This is going to be a good holiday season for consumers but a night mare for manufacturers as their bottom line will not look good at all.

Should I wait to replace my HP568 with one of the newcomers (HP 5000 or high end Dell) - or go for this Toshiba now? :?: I can't beieve these prices - either they are great for us consumers, or we have been grabbing our ankles for so long we don't know what a good deal looks like anymore ops: !!! Either way - Christmas is shaping up nicely for all of us!

Ed. You are havinng WAYYYYY tooo much fun with the big font stuff :lol:

Second coming text they call it in the Newspaper world. The Dell deal is almost that big a story, though.

Interesting, that if they add the extra $50 Amazon gift certificate they gave out with e310s they are right down near the price of the high end Dell with virtually identical specs, but wireless and metal case added.

I am more interested in seing new ppc's not more versions of the existing model. but i recognize that veryone has different preferences.

gmelfissg Pupil Join Date: Mar 2002 Posts: 37		don dre It the prices are lowered for a basic pocket pc with all the trimming of a pocket pc of 500$ and offer for $300 then we could see greate pocket pc with new feature for $500. That's make sense because people are tired of paying overprice for pda (ipaq: $550-600$) when you can have the same functionnality and more for $300.

The quick launch buttons have a major bug (think don't work most of the time). Unit locks up allot The cradle is a very poor design (You have to push on the cradle to get the unit seated) I bought one and returned it one week later. Corey __________________ Corey McLaughlin
