Toshiba Pocket PC e570 Review

msolnik writes: "PocketNow has a review of the new Toshiba Pocket PC e570. With an integrated CompactFlash Type I/II, Secure Digital (SD) slot, a 206Mhz StrongArm, and upto 64MB of ram the Toshiba is going to give the IPAQ a run for its money. Just FYI with some slight modifications the Handhelds.org IPAQ Linux distro should run just fine on the Toshiba."

Is there any real use in these thing ?

What do you want with a computer with a tiny display and low performance ?
Keeping adresses etc. ?
Science has a better answer for this and it's called notebook (the paper ones).
Playing games ?
With this display you really can't go any further then gameboy style one. I don't see anyone using them for Quake or DOOM.

I suppose these thing have the same right to exist like nosehair cutters, electrical earwax removers etc.

What does a SD slot get me?

I'd like to know from whose perspective the "security" part of this SD card is to benefit. I have a feeling it's not for me and my data...

What does it get me that a plain ole CF card would not give me?

It looks like ARM has all but sewn up the PDA market, just like x86 became the defacto standard for PC's. Will the market stagnate now? Where is the competition? Everyone has (or plans to have) a 206MHz StrongARM in their PDA. Wouldn't it be nice if someone else came along with something a bit better now and made things interesting?
