Somehow I have the feeling that Toshiba has tested the waters with their earlier corporate only products, and now join the Pocket PC ranks full force. Brandon Hill sent in two links to a new XScale based Toshiba 550G. Although not all Japanese Toshiba's come to Europe and the VS, this one shows hardware that means a new route for Toshiba: a new 4" screen, and that leads me to believe that this will cross over sooner or later. The Japanese Toshiba Genio e-feature page calles this screen "Poly-Si TFT LCD". The next picture shows the new model next to the 'old' Toshiba e570.
The specs state that it will keep the Compact Flash type II slot, and a SD/IO slot. According to the second page of a preview on the Japanese ZDNet, there will be battery and PCMCIA extensions for this new model. And again they show that nifty Bluetooth SD card. To top it off, this model will feature a USB host function, just like the Casio E-200 has now!
