APC Magazine Reviews the Big Screen Bruiser: Toshiba e800
Posted by Jason Dunn in "ARTICLE" @ 02:25 PM
"Topping the stunning PalmOne Tungsten T3, Toshiba’s new e800 Pocket PC goes where no PDA has gone before, with a knockout 4in display running in 480 x 640 VGA. And a high-res screen isn’t its only trick. Firmly establishing itself as a power user’s PDA, the e800 boasts a choice between integrated Wi-Fi and Bluetooth — we tested the 802.11b unit — plus slots for both CompactFlash and SD cards, with the latter also supporting SDIO expansion devices. In the engine room is a 400MHz Intel XScale PXA263 processor and an ATI graphics controller with 2MB of dedicated memory, as well as 158MB of user-accessible memory (126.8MB of conventional RAM plus 31.2MB of Flash ROM).
An SPB Benchmark of 1,352 makes the e800 the second-fastest Pocket PC available, surpassed only by the ASUS MyPal A620’s 1,573 due to the latter’s stellar graphics performance. At 193g, this is also one of the heavier units around, and thus an unlikely shirt pocket candidate."
