pdabuyersguide Reviews Toshiba e805
Posted by Jason Dunn in "ARTICLE" @ 05:00 PM
"Toshiba's had an epiphany this fall, and the budget-minded e405 and high end e805 models are the proof. Once know for bland styling and missing out on the SDIO bandwagon; both these new models overcome that with their sleek new styling and SDIO Now! support.
The Toshiba e805 is simply an awesome device, thanks in part to a kind developer who released a free application which allows all apps to run in VGA mode. The e805 is the most innovative Pocket PC since the iPAQ 3600, thanks primarily to its superb 4" VGA display, and secondly its very functional voice command and text to speech software. The e805 can run in standard Pocket PC QVGA (quarter VGA) resolution at 240 x 320 pixels or in VGA mode at 480 x 640 pixels. The catch is that as shipped, only the Westtek ClearVue Suite runs in VGA mode. 3rd party apps designed to work in VGA such as the NetFront 3.1 web browser will also work. As mentioned, an add-in application from a developer will allow all apps to run in VGA, and that's when this unit really shines."
Yes, it's yet another review from the workaholics at pdabuyersguide - I don't know how they do it, cranking out so many detailed reviews, but I'm glad they do. :-) Go check out the full review! I'm sorely tempted to try and get my hands on one of these puppies...VGA goodness. Mmm! :mrgreen:
