Default Zayo A600 Pocket PC only $199!

http://www.mobileplanet.com/private...40500&listing=1



"The powerful, flexible Zayo Pocket PC is designed for the active user, with 64 MB SDRAM, 32 MB Flash ROM, and class-leading 400MHz Intel XScale processor and super-bright display. And you'll have more time to enjoy your Zayo with up to 12-hours battery life from the standard lithium polymer rechargeable battery. The Zayo's proprietary, ultra-low power, super-bright LCD touch screen display with 64,000 colors is a true revelation, providing clearer images and less eyestrain, especially in sunlight conditions. Cooler running and lower power consumption means less draw on the CPU and improved battery life, too."

If you're looking for a heck of a deal on a Pocket PC, this is it - the Zayo A600 consistently benchmarked very well and was considered one of the fastest Pocket PC 2002 devices. I don't know what Asus' plans are for 2003 upgrades, but regardless, $199 is an incredible price for a brand-new, metal-cased, 400 Mhz Pocket PC. 8O

8O Can anybody who owns this PPC benchmark with Jasons little app? I am really interested in seeing how this lil PPC runs. Also any other feedback from other users would be appreciated. I just bought my 2210, but having an extra PPC is never a bad idea. 0X

I would probably go for it if I knew it came with the 255. Too bad all reviews I have looked at say it comes with the 250

This sounds to good to be true. How can they sell this product with what it is offering for that price. There has to be a catch.

Not necessarily. It probably means that the new Zayo is coming up and it is going to be pretty good. The benchmarks that have appeared across other boards seem to indicate that it runs faster than the 2210/5, which is something very impressive. The new Zayo 620 comes with WinMobile and a PXA-255. Oh and the benchmarks were made with Jason's app. I believe.

PXA 250, but believe me if you don't need PPC 2k3 then this would be a great device it is incredibly fast...
