That IS really funny - my favorite part:
Throw away those 500-page instruction books. If you are familiar with Windows95 you will be at home with Windows CE.

This is pretty good too.
Put a lot of color in your pocket with the NEW Cassiopeia E-105,the ultimate in mobile information management.

The price is too steep for me though :lol:

Absolutely hilarious....
....and scary at the same time!
Think of some ignorant (uninformed) buyer out there who thinks that this must be a state-of-the-art device!

This reminds me of a day I was flipping through channels and crossed a QVC type channel. They were selling a Palm IIIc for $299 (mind you this was about 2 months ago). They were talking about all the cool accessories that it came with and that made it a huge deal (Keyboard, car charger, cradle, sync cable...what a crock of shizz). They then compared it to the m130 stating that the Palm website sells the same thing for $299 by itself.

Only an absolute moron wouldn't have noticed that the device on the website and the device the gal was holding were not the same.

I was shocked that they were calling a 3 yr old device "cutting-edge" and "top of the line." Further shocked that they were selling it for $299, even with the keyboard. Current ebay auction can't even sell the thing for $9.99

It blew me away that the sale counter just kept going up and up. Those poor, uninformed souls.

Ahhh, I used to want that model so bad. I think it was retailed at $500-600 back then =>_<=

What about this remarkPut a lot of color in your pocket with the NEW Cassiopeia E-105, the ultimate in mobile information management.

I saw this thing a year ago in a "everything in this box is $50" box in a local electronics store. They probably bought them and started reselling them, nice profit margin:).
