New PPC Advice

[eangulus]

Hi,

I am looking for advice on a new Pocket PC. I would like to have one that has both SD and CF slots, I will need bluetooth on the go and WiFi at home. Memoery I would like to be able to use the CF slot on the go (CF DigiCam) so no CF BLuetooth options. I want to be able to email my pictures home thru my T68i.

At home I would like to use my CF Cards (cheaper) but not 100% needed as I can WiFi to my desktop.

I have been looking at the Pocket Loox 600 but alas there is no details on when it will be released in Australia yet.

Any suggestions on what I should by and what accessories if any are needed.

Looks like your only (best) solution is a 5450 Ipaq with some sleeves.

You'll either want an iPaq with an expansion sleeve, or else a PPC with dual slots.

For bluetooth, you can either get the iPaq 5450 (integrated) or get a PPC and a Bluetooth SD card. This leaves your Cf slot free on a dual-slot device, in which you can use a CF DigiCam, as well as swap in some memory when you want.

If you plan on doing stuff with pictures, or if you want to listen to music or watch videos while you're away from home, you'll definitely want extra storage (like your CF cards).

You can check out this website (http://www.davespda.com/resources/compare/) for comparisons - the major PPC players are Toshiba, Dell, and HP.

You could also go for the Bluetooth version of the Toshiba e740 leaving CF free on the go for peripherals and use your WiFi CF card when at home.

Where did you find that one?

Isn't the BT version of the e740 only available in Europe?

Absolutely no idea, I've not searched any US shops for it. Let me know if you can find it anywhere.
