Toshiba e740 for $374 After Rebate
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0000658CE/jasondunn-20
Looks like Amazon is back to offering the e740 with built-in WiFi for $374 after rebates. This offer seems to come and go at random, so if you've been waiting for a good price on the e740, this is it. Source: Sweetpete.

Hmmm - I wonder what the replacement for the 740 is going to have spec-wise. A backlit transfexive screen would be nice! :wink: Still, it's a tempting price.

And has HP dropped the price of the single-slot iPaq?

Go to pricegrabber, it's been there for less than $400 for quite some time now and you don't have to deal with stupid rebates(had a few bad experiences). :x

Hmm What to do? What to do?
I would have jumped at this 2 months ago but after hearing about the new Dells I have to find out what they have.
The shootout: :2gunfire:
Viewsonic? I hear they have a great screen.
Dell? Dunno yet.. good prices.
Toshiba? Must be coming out with a really cool next generation device.
HP? Ho hum.
Who did I miss?

Yes, I can't see anyone buying this with so much about to happen. Before you buy this keep the following things in mind:
1 - The e740, although pretty small for all it has in it, is still fairly thick.
2 - Toshiba's screens are among the worst.
3 - The WiFi is very weak. There were times when my notebook had a 35% signal and my Toshiba couldn't see anything.
4 - Almost NONE of the accessories that Toshiba promised have eventually shown up.
It would have been a good deal a month or so again (when it first appeared), but now you should hold.

Toshiba's New PDA
Why buy the Toshiba e740 when you can get the new Toshiba GENIO e550GS/GX/GXMD soon? The GX Series is said to have 128MB of memory. It's supposed to cost only $575! Thats way better than any thing else on the market right now!

The Dell is meant to have a backlit transflexive screen - so it should be worth waiting for (not that there is much loger to go till the 18th.....).
