Default Handystore Review the LOOX 720

http://www.handystore.co.il/fs720e.htm

"The pocketLOOX 720, Fujitsu-Siemens' new PDA, isn't their first, but it is certainly the first to push them way up into the top five in the field. The device includes everything the pocket PC user would want: a high quality camera (1.3 Mega Pixel), Bluetooth and WiFi communications, a strong processor, lots of memory space, two expansion slots, and for dessert � support for USB devices such as Disc-On-Key etc. In short � a dream come true. The developers put together all these excellent features, added a great screen and good multimedia capabilities, and packed it all in a friendly combo, leaving little to be desired."



It's always an interesting way to start a review by summarising your conclusions. It's kind of like giving the end of a novel away. Not surprisingly, Tomer Eisner from Handystore rather likes the LOOX 720. He's put together a decent medium-sized review with over 30 photos and screenshots and the Hebrew version is a available here. Whatever you think about the LOOX 720, the huge scary photo of the sleeping cat in the sink is certainly worth a look. ;-)

thats a really nice review. It should have included his SPBench marks etc. And he is soo right when he says that it would take a huge market share.

Hmmm ... market share depends a lot on price. I didn't see one. Anybody know?

Uk price is 400 GBP but it's a new device so I expect it to go down by a bit. Or at least I hope!
