X-Scale issues aside, the e740 is a very nice device. Some consider it the best Pocket PC available. "Although the e740's new chip and built-in wireless functionality certainly caught our attention, we were just as impressed with the device's dual expansion slots, removable battery and overall excellent design, prompting us to give the e740 an Analyst's Choice award. The e740 runs Microsoft Corp.'s Pocket PC 2002 mobile operating system, which includes applications for Terminal Services, MSN instant messaging, and secure communications via VPN. The device, which began shipping last month, is uniquely well positioned to take advantage of these networking functions, thanks to its integrated—and well-implemented—support for 802.11b."
