"Re-Certified" Toshiba e405 for $149 at woot!
First of all, I'll have you know that I do not make a habit of going around and saying "woot!" to people. For those of you who aren't familiar with them, "woot!" is a site that sells one item per day - usually closeouts and generally cheap stuff. Today, they happen to be selling the Toshiba e405, which is a pretty nice little device. Let me refresh your memory on the specs:
� Processor: Intel� PXA261 Xscale processor at 300MHz
� Main memory: 64MB SDRAM; 3.3V
� Program memory: 16MB CMOS Flash ROM
� NAND Flash memory: 32MB
� Display: 3.5� TFT transreflective color display
� Resolution: (16 bit) 240 x 320 (portrait)
� Light: Backlight fluorescent lamp
� Colors: 65,536 (64K) colors; 5 step Brightness control (by Software)
� Expandability:1 SD (Secure Digital) card slot (3.3V)
� Operating System: Microsoft Pocket PC 2003 Professional Edition
� Dimensions (LxWxH): 4.9� x 3.0� x 0.4�
� Weight: 4.6oz (w/Stylus & battery)
� Condition: Recertified by Toshiba - 90 day Toshiba warranty
If you're in the market for a cheap Pocket PC, you should maybe consider this - it's an excellent price even for a refurb. Better hurry, though - the offer is only good for today - the link will be for something else tomorrow.

Sold out, and the fact that they won't ship outside the US was depressing.
Guess us Canucks can't get a good deal when we want

It doesn't take long for a deal that great to leave us... however, I wouldn't be suprised if some ebay powerseller didn't order a few and will have them on ebay starting at $149...

I forgot, did Toshiba release a WM2003 Second Edition update for this device? If so, $149 for a SE device would be a great deal.

The best line in the FAQ:
Will I receive customer support like I'm used to?
No. Well not really. If you buy something you don�t end up liking or you have what marketing people call �buyers remorse,� sell it on ebay. It�s likely you�ll make money doing this and save everyone a hassle. If the item doesn't work, find out what your doing wrong. Yes, we know you think the item is bad, but it�s probably your fault.
