Toshiba e800 Preview -- Including A 640x480 Shot
Forums have begin to buzz with the sudden appearance of pictures of a Toshiba e800 in action, including the following shot...
(Click the picture for a bigger version, or hit the link above for more pics.) Yes, that is a Windows Mobile 2003 device running at 640x480. 8O I'm sure it's an unsupported resolution in the OS -- Nyditot Virtual Display has been able to do large virtual screens on Pocket PCs for some time -- but it's never been at this level of sharpness! :drool:

wow, we are back to 1999 now.
Palm is smaller: T3 is smaller than e880
Palm is cheaper: T3 is $399 while e800 is $599
Palm's software is more than PPC: There are 10 programs supporting T3 now, but only 4 in E800
PPC has higher resolution: 480*640 while Palm still stay in 320*480
PPC has more memory: E800 has 192Mb memory while T3 only has 64Mb.
PPC is multi-tasking while T3 is one task system.
The only change is both Palm and PPC battery is bad now.

8O - I've just been playing with MorphGear, the SNES and other console emmulator on my 2210 - I'm imagining playing the games on the larger screen would be so nice.

What I want to know is what happens to a 320x240 application on a 640x420 screen?
I guess the answer is either much white space or larger than normal controls.
How does one develop for this screen?

Given that pocketpc2003 does not support such high resolutions, i can already see the future: high resoluion mode will be buggy and most programs where you need it (IE, WMP etc) will not support it. It ill also be very slow and will drain battery faster. When an operating system with proper support comes along, toshiga will NOT offer any updates - you will have to buy a whole new device (which maybe of decent quality actualy, like e750).
I'd rather wait for a device that works from a company which is not dumping its custmers.
:devilboy:

Look sgood, should be great for people using Japanese/Chinese/etc since they will be able to read things clearer. Me I don't even use antialiasing on the font on my LCD so probably not useful. Besides I'm dreaming about the iPAQ 6000 since (less resolution + wireless phone ) > (more resolution no wireless phone).

Too bad it's a Toshiba, an HP or something, it'd be worth considering...
