Posted by Pat Logsdon in "HARDWARE" @ 06:00 PM
PocketPC Tools reports that Toshiba France has denied the existence of the e830: "In response to the rumors of the e830 and rampant misinformation propagated by Toshiba itself about the discontinuing of the e800, Toshiba France issued a statement to PocketPC Paradise about the situation (roughly translated from the original French):
According to Didier Halbique, Retail & Product Marketing Manager of Toshiba France, "... Pocket PC e800 is by no means at the end of the lifetime at Toshiba. Indeed this product, which meets a sharp success on the French market, will evolve even during May to Windows Mobile 2003 second edition like previously announced. This "new" Pocket PC e800 of share its new version of Windows Mobile 2003 second edition will be called well Pocket PC e800 and will keep the same design features as the current product.
This Pocket PC e800 equipped with Windows Mobile 2003 second edition will be one of the official advertisements at the time of the 4th Forum of the Mobile Solutions which will take place on May 4, 2004 with the intercontinental hotel of Paris (pc.toshiba.fr). In addition, all the current owners of Pocket PC e800 will be able to make evolve their product to Windows Mobile 2003 second edition and this free via a remote loading on the Web site of Toshiba (pc.toshiba.fr for France) as from the second week of May."
At least we have a Toshiba person with a name and title announcing that the Toshiba WM2003 SE upgrade will be free... :wink:
