Casio Cassiopeia E-105 Pocket PC

Pros: Windows compatible, games, lot of software available, internet
Cons: battery life, OS incompatibilities, serial connection a little slow

It is interesting how manufacturers name their products nowadays. In order to get good resonance words, I think they do market researches and geographical tests. Anyway, picking a well-known constellation name guarantees some familiarity with the product...

Pros: Looks good, screen, video player
Cons: Windows CE, Windows CE and Windows CE

To be fair to the e105 you need to examine it in three parts. The hardware, the software and the connectivity.

The hardware is breathtakingly good, the most outstanding feature being the colour TFT screen which really is amazing. The case...

Pros: Great screen, good performance
Cons: Expensive, not as portable as a Palm

Remember that SNL sketch about Toonces, the cat that could drive a car - but not very well? That's what the Cassiopeia E-105 reminds me of. It does any number of PC-type tasks, from playing MP3 clips to displaying photos - but overall, doesn't do that...

Pros: Awesome display, Oooh / Aaahh technology, stereo sound
Cons: $$$$$, CE interface, obsolete operating system

The Cassiopeia is one of those gadgets that elicits ooohs and aahs when showed around to other people. The screen is incredible, and some of the features ( like multimedia, voice recording, and Minesweeper) are really sweet. The RAM, powerful processor,...

Pros: Screen, Sound, Memory, Ease of use
Cons: Screen under direct, strong sunlight, No USB ports.

I purchased it perfectly new from a co-worker. It comes with 32MB RAM, 16MB ROM and Windows CE 2.11. I have used it around for about 1 and a half months, and I can say its simply great. I had a NEC MobilePro 770 H/PC for testing purposes, and the...

Pros: Handy Dandy Device
Cons: Pricey - One pays to play...

Thanks to the "Innovators" class in the product adoption phase of a new products' life cycle, Casio is able to charge, and receive, up to $550 for its Cassiopeia series PDA. If you must have a PDA (no doubt to compensate for whatever it is you...

Pros: Nice screen. Standard CF II expansion socket.
Cons: Was the best WinCE device, now superseded by PocketPC (WinCE 3)

Preface:
I own and use a Compaq IPaq pda daily. I have bought, used and given to my siblings Casio E125, EM-500 and E-105s. As such, I will offer comparisons amongst the models when possible. Given the amount of information available on Microsoft's...

Pros: State of the art, multimedia, stereo jack
Cons: Expensive, software outdated in some cases

The Cassiopeia E-105 is the palmtop organizer you want to get. Just be sure to read this review before you run out and buy one.

The reason you want this machine is that it is the best palmtop device available today. It comes with 32...

Pros: Very fast, lots of memory, lots of options, not really expensive for what you get.
Cons: Glare off of the screen sometimes, but only in sunlight at the wrong angle.

This is a great palm computer. It is not extremely expensive, and you get a lot of bang for your buck. It has 32 megs of ram, 130 MHz processor, and lots of options. You can watch video and even surf the internet in over 65 million colors on the very...

Pros: Lots of features, very fast for its class
Cons: Very expensive.

Before getting this device, ask yourself this. "What do I intend to do with it?" You must keep in mind that the Cassiopeia is not intended to replace the conventional desktop, or even laptop, but to assist it. Call me crazy, but that may be...

Pros: great color, windows CE, powerful, cool
Cons: not palm, expensive, technology dates these quickly, needs more wireless connectivity

I've been working with the new Casio Cassiopeia for a few weeks now, because I've been developing a some applications for it to fit in with an enterprise solution.

I'm very impressed. I've used previous palm devices before, including both...

Pros: It can do anything!

A Palm Pilot could simply never compete.

I can take notes with diagrams and drawings.

I can store technical drawings.

I have MP3s, audio books, it can record and play videos.

It has a stereo headphones jack....

Pros: PIM, music player, off-line reader, power
Cons: weight and size

I've used the E-105 for 4 months and I won't give it up. It has the power of the MMX PCs that were popular in 1997, and it fits in the palm of my hand. I'm, running more than just PIMs, I use it for off-line reading, playing music, navigating city...

Pros: Color display, 32Mb memory, rechargeable battery/charger, expandability, functionality
Cons: Windows CE

To me, there's no doubt that in a comparison of features and functionality, the Cassiopeia E-105 can't be beat. Despite the hefty price tag of around $550, there is nothing else out there of this size with this many features. The 256-color display and...

Pros: Color, Multimedia
Cons: Bulky design

I loved the E-105's bright screen(indoors) and excellent multimedia. It allowed me to load AOL mail, AdvantGo, download e-books with Peanut Reader, and connect with my Nokia GSM phone. The programs worked without much of a problem, although sometimes it...
