More Upcoming Toshiba Pocket PCs
For a company who purportedly says Pocket PCs are dead, Toshiba is awfully busy releasing new ones.
An English translation of the post is here. They seem to be Japanese-only devices for now, but seem to have the 4" displays that are the hallmark of some of the previous Genio devices. The one pictured above is interesting -- not only does it have an integrated camera, it also seems to have a screen cover, for a change! 8O It would be nice if Toshiba actually got its act together -- they have some talented design teams.

Acording to the post, it's got SDIO, CF, and 128M memory.
If that's 128Meg RAM, a la the HP5555, and if it's got wifi & BT, then I'm up for it! Although I do hope that Tosh provide an upgrade. I wouldn't mind paying for it, if it offers a significant improvement over WinMob2003 :|

The e740, 755, etc were designed by a different team from the Genio line of Pocket PCs. The Genio line is much more inventive and aggressive. I just wish the two design groups would get together and make the best device possible. I also think it was the US operation that said the PDA market was dead. In Japan, I think they are still huge believers in the market.
That said, I am glad to see a great new device.
SDIO
CF I/II
128mb memory
Camera
32MB ROM
16MB Flash disk
4" transflective display
flip cover!!!!
camera w/ flash
jog dial
no mention of wireless integration

It's nice to see someone adding not only a flip-cover, but a clear one at that. As a Treo 300 owner, I can tell you that it's nice to be able to quickly check my schedule or look at an appointment alarm without having to open up the clamshell. With a traditional PDA, you'd have to take it out of a sleeve or flip open the cover, but this eliminates that step.

Toshiba Japan should market the Genio series worldwide. They know what people want.

Isn't that really a Dogbert reference. A wave of the paw and "Bah!".
If I am wrong please don't send Bob The Dinosaur round to give me a wegdy.
