Pocket PC: The Best Way to Start Your Day?
I was doing some RSS scouring and happened to end up on engadget, and looked at a couple of the top user-submitted videos from a recent contest they ran. The video submitted by Dan Sheppard caught my attention when I noticed it used a Pocket PC...in a rather un-flattering way. It's an older device, and in fact, the first person to identify it from the photo above will win a much-coveted Pocket PC Thoughts micro light. What kind of Pocket PC is it?
UPDATE: The first person to correctly identify the Pocket PC as a Casio EM-500 (on their first guess, without editing the message - did I really need to point that out people? ;-)) was Ploobers. Nicely done!

Pocket PC
The Pocket PC pictured is the Casio EM-500. It was manufactured by Casio as a second generation device in 2000. It was very popular due to the shape and the overall size.

Yup, it's the EM500; the lamp is definitely that of JamesM because there was no E-500, just the EM-500; that is, he must have meant the latter.

There are slight differences between the E-125 and the EM-500, looks-wise; for example, the purple area around the screen also contains the hardware buttons on the EM-500 - and on the E-750 as well. This is why I've thought of the E-750 first until I've spotted the difference between the speaker module (The EM-500 has three vertical bars, the E-750 has a "traditional" speaker).
(I have my E-750 and my two E-125's in front of me  - love them all and still use them to play a lot of games. I've even written a BIG roundup of all MIPS games some months ago - check it out if you love(d) Cassiopeias.)

Yes, but accuracy counts! I concede to your greater knowledge (and the fact that I edited it twice, thinking first E200, then E125, then watching the video :? )

It's Casio EM-500. I think it was the first PocketPC device with MMC/SD slot.
I still have it's bigger and older brother Casio E-100 with Windows CE 2.11.
The machine still works and the screen is still beautiful (indoor).
