Hey, Toshiba 7xx owners, can you tell me if that's an e740 or e750? I'm guessing the latter.

That's way too cute.

It's a E755, the E740 has "Pocket PC" written above screen, E755 has no room for any writing above screen.


Really Cute, I'd say

Wow, I want one too! :lol:

I know they're not the same thing, but still reminds me of Aibo, the little robotic puppies that cost well over $1000. 8O
