Well, well. Look what's listed as "Coming Soon" on the CompUSA site? I wasn't sure this would ever happen, but it looks like Toshiba is going to continue their full-court press in the Pocket PC arena by having a third Pocket PC on the playing field. Incredible!
"The GENIO e550G integrates a package of productivity tools supported by a fast CPU and 64MB of main memory, and is the first Pocket PC on the market to offer two expansion slots. New capabilities are driving demand for PDAs and taking them from the consumer market into the more demanding business market. With this expansion will come demand for higher levels of functionality and interoperability with corporate IT systems, including groupware, SCM and CRM. Toshiba's new GENIO e Pocket PCs are expressly designed to meet such needs.
The GENIO e series runs the Intel PXA250 (XScale), the fastest available for Pocket PC applications, and the Microsoft Windows for Pocket PC operating system. The CPU and the provision of 64MB of DRAM memory assure high speed processing of software optimized for the Pocket PC OS, including Pocket versions of Microsoft Word, Excel, Outlook, Internet Explorer and the Windows Media Player, all of which are integrated into the GENIO e series. Data synchronization and downloads from PCs are supported by a USB cradle."
