pocketnow.com puts the e740 through its paces, and the end result might not be quite what you expect. I have to admit I'm a little surprised - no Pocket PC is perfect, but the reviewer seemed quite negative about several aspects of the device. Must be one of those biased iPAQ users.
"Over the last year, Toshiba has really made a substantial impact on the Pocket PC market. They have managed to bring quality, relatively inexpensive, and groundbreaking Pocket PCs to the masses. For example, their e570 was the first device to have dual storage slots, all the while their e310 was the thinnest of the color Pocket PCs. It would seem that Toshiba has been trying to set themselves up as trend-setters, innovating new and exciting devices every step of the way. Keeping consistent with these ideals, Toshiba has begun production on their e740 Pocket PC. Complete with built-in 802.11b wireless, compact flash and secure digital slots, a slim form factor and an Intel XScale 400 MHz CPU... it would seem Toshiba has built the dream machine. Is this device as good as it sounds, or has Toshiba pushed for too much, too soon?"
