Nov 2003: author's comments Back in January of 2003, the Toshiba e330 with Pocket PC 2002 OS, was cutting edge. With the optional WiFi hardware added, one could do most any kind of mCommerce PDA functionality with this product. Today, with 2 ...

THE QUEST

I'm a self-admitted "High Tech Red-Neck". I recently allowed the left-side of my brain to shut down completely. I now rely on a PDA to keep me on task, on time, and on-the-ball. When my Palm V crashed (after 50 days of...

Being new to the PDA world, I didn't know what to expect, but I really shopped around and believe th ...

Pros: Great little speakers, nice software package, slim & Lightweight, infrared.
Cons: always turn on without my wanting it to, battery life, buttons suck.

I bought this PDA used from a co-worker for $50. Would I have payed over $200 for it? No. It is a pretty good toy for beginners but I'd say once I get the hang of all its features I will probably upgrade. It has pretty good sound and all the applications that come with it are very good as well. I use it all the time and it helps me keep up with my day. I think I am going to upgrade to something with wi-fi in the future and a little more ram. So, altogether this PDA is pretty nifty, but doesn't have much room for expansion.
I have a few game packages from Microsoft on the PDA but the buttons do not come in handy... I guess its not really for games but it would be a nice added feature.
