Toshiba Presents the e350
More details are leaking out about Toshiba's upcoming PDAs, which feature the new XScale processor. We've already discussed the e750 in detail, but the e350's details are still vague. According to this article (Babelfish translation here if you don't know Spanish), it will have 64MB of RAM and 16MB of ROM (is this another 1910-like NAND deal?), and will run a 300MHz PXA255 processor. The form factor implies an evolution of the e330, although the display might also be improved ("semi-transmissive" according to an older article I posted on before.)

I just have to wonder .. is 400mhz XScale that much more expensive. Knowing the performance, I'd hate to see market filling with anything less than 400mhz.

Infosync seems to have some good info on both the E750 and the E350 here:
http://www.infosyncworld.com/news/n/3228.html
The E350 case that Infosync shows appears to be the same as the previous models, just in a slightly darker color.
The only other notable differences are that the D-Pad looks a little different now and the screen size.

Cool. I'm holding out to buy a new pda till I see how well these new X-Scale processors perform. I wont mind if the memory on the new e350's are NAND. This to me indicates another low price Pocket Pc. I really do wish that instead of an evolution of the old Toshiba that it were a revolution! As you can tell I'm not a fan of the e330's styling. But I guess if it keeps the costs down what the heck its not that bad.

It's not a matter of price - it's a matter of marketing differentiation. There's a reason why not every Dell computer ships with a 3.066 Ghz CPU. :wink:
