Sounds like Dell's low-cost entries have changed the tide.

Hmmm... I wonder why Toshiba would be doing this?? :?

Could this be a factor:?:


Toshiba, opening the door for sub-US$400 Pocket PCs last June, will launch a new Pocket PC priced at US$199 next month, believing the aggressively priced handheld device could help boost PDA sales and better compete with rivals Dell Computer and Hewlett-Packard (HP), which have launched similar models with higher price tags.

The world’s fifth-largest PDA vendor has contracted Compal Electronics to produce the e350 Pocket PC, which will feature an Intel 300MHz PXA 250 processor, 64MB SDRAM and a semi-transmissive TFT LCD panel, according to sources.

I wouldn't buy it, but THIN is IN these days.

I would buy it in a hearbeat. The form factor is excellent. But it's using a display technology that is heading for obsolecence. It just doesn't hold up against HP, Dell, and Viewsonic. Hell, the Tungsten T would be my first choice if it weren't for the generic looking screen (and dust). :roll:

Can Toshiba afford another model to not support?

:lol:

The $100 rebate is only if you buy an accessory.

[spursdude]

The $100 rebate is only if you buy an accessory.

I don't think so... rebate says "Buy a Toshiba Pocket PC e335 btwn December 6, 2002, and April 17, 2003, and receive your choice..."

and one of the choices is $100.
