Toshiba e550G...get those drool buckets ready!
Posted by Jason Dunn in "HARDWARE" @ 07:04 AM
My friend Andrew, known on the boards here as the Master of Mayhem, has a very cool job. He buys really cool stuff and gets to play with it. I want his job. In the famous words of the Joker from the Batman movie, "Where does he GET those WONDERFUL toys?"
Andrew sent me some photos of some of the latest hardware he picked up - shown above is the Toshiba e550G and the PCMCIA sled for it. Let's see what else he found in his travels<!>
The Toshiba e550G sitting atop an iPAQ 38xx. Looks perhaps a few mm thicker.
That's right - 2 gigs of SD memory. 8O
This boy has the bragging rights - 3.5 gigs of storage in a single Pocket PC (2 gig PCMCIA Kingston hard drive, 1.0 gig CompactFlash, 512 meg SD). :D
One of the most intriguing thing about the e550G - :!: it identifies the memory card by the type (PC card, SD card, CF card) instead of the generic and vague "Storage Card X". Notice the Japanese OS.
Side view - HTC Wallaby/Spaceneedle/02 XDA on top, Toshiba e550G in the middle, Compaq iPAQ 38xx on the bottom.
Top view - HTC Wallaby/Spaceneedle/02 XDA on top, Toshiba e550G in the middle, Compaq iPAQ 38xx on the bottom.
Bottom view - HTC Wallaby/Spaceneedle/02 XDA on top, Toshiba e550G in the middle, Compaq iPAQ 38xx on the bottom.
Look at the size of that screen on the e550G! From left to right: HTC Wallaby/Spaceneedle/02 XDA, Toshiba e550G, Compaq iPAQ 38xx.
Toshiba e550G and the PCMCIA sled. I'm unsure whether it has an integrated battery - I would assume so.
The e550G in the PCMCIA sled.
The e550G in the PCMCIA sled with a PCMCIA card inserted...
...and we discover that Andrew has the swanky new Aircard 555 from Sierra Wireless for CDMA 2000 high-speed data access.
Now, don't you just want to be Andrew for a day? :wink:
