Official Toshiba e750/e755 Information Posted
"Featuring the power-saving Intel PXA255 processor, the Pocket PC e750 delivers added performance to quickly access your files and programs while consuming less power. Whether indoors or outdoors, Pocket PC e750 users can view their favorite images or Web sites with the large, crisp 3.8" diagonal transreflective color display. Providing a generous 96MB (64MB RAM/32MB NAND) of storage capacity, Pocket PC e750 users can easily access data and multimedia files with the touch of a finger. For added peace of mind, critical files stored in NAND memory will remain intact even if the PDA battery runs down."
Well isn't this interesting! 96 MB of RAM, but only 64 MB of that is user-accessible. It looks like more and more OEMs are switching to NAND memory to save costs. Too bad - 96 MB of RAM on a Pocket PC would be great! I looked at the specs for the 750/755 and couldn't seem to find a difference - they're both $599 US.

I think the idea of the NAND RAM is to provide a large "Safe Store". That's what the website implies. So, it's 64MB, with a potential 32MB of it being kept between hard resets, which sounds pretty cool.

I like this one better though...
Found it over at InfoSync: http://www.infosyncworld.com/news/n/3185.html
400 MHz PXA255, 4" screen, 128 Megs of ram, detactable camera, SDIO and CF II slots, about $650 US, but only available in Japan right now.

I've never liked the look of the Toshiba (But the specs have been pretty impressive with pretty much everything you could want built in.) so I've never paid much attention to the product line. So, for my own education, what's the difference here on this device versus the previous? Seems to be a run of the mill PDA for the Toshiba line. What's the delta between this and whatever model it's replacing?

This does have the integrated WLAN, though, which is pretty cool, and in some ways more useful.

It's replacing the e740. The key items are a bigger, better screen; faster XScale processor; "more memory" to work with (sort of). It's not the revolution that the Genio 550C is, but it's a nice update. If the battery life is improved over the e740, it'll be a great unit.

I didn't read it that way at all,

to me reads 64Mb Ram/32Mb ROM with an undisclosed amount of the RAM user accessible. Remember when the Viewsonic V35 first came out and it was listed as 64Mb RAM/32 ROM as well.
I guess we'll have to wait and see. :?

The only difference I noticed between the E750 and E755 is the ArcSoft� PhotoBase� for Pocket PC software for the E755....[/i]

Indeed, we will. The site explains that you can use the 32MB as a safe store of some sort, which implies it's not ROM. I'd be really surprised if they're cutting back on free RAM from the e740. Then of course, I've been surprised before...

I read it like Janak, thanks to the following:

That seems to imply the user can store files in the NAND memory, but probably only data files, as programs can't execute from NAND.
The More Information link didn't give any help, though.
