Toshiba Pocket PC e570 Review

With an integrated CompactFlash Type I/II, Secure Digital (SD) slot, a 206Mhz StrongArm, and upto 64MB of ram the Toshiba is going to give the IPAQ a run for its money. Just FYI with some slight modifications the Handhelds.org IPAQ Linux distro should run just fine on the Toshiba."

NTSC out?

[drenehtsral]

What i'd really like is an NTSC video out on one of these buggers, 'cause that'd make it a perfect wearable (not to mention a really cool portable on-the-spot presentation machine. Just imagine, plug into the projector and run, no hassle).

You must have problems if you need journaling

If you need a journaling filesystem on your handheld, you have problems.

I have had WinCE devices and Palm Devices since basically 1.0 days, and NONE have ever had "corrupted flash memory cards" unless i stuck the thing through a high powered xray machine on one of my hundreds of flights i have taken.

"Considerably more responsive with linux on it"..

Strange, i can watch movies, play mp3's, play doom, and tons of other things on my Compaq running CE 3.0 (as well as surf the net, check email, view appointments, view docs, record memos and voice notes) and my unit "seems considerably more responsive" then i have ever seen linux run on these.

oh well, to each there own.

This post is hardly informative

[Faulty Dreamer]

Excuse me, while I take this entire post with a grain of salt. First of all, this is a second-hand account with vague, unsubstantied points comments written as fact.

A link or some kind of evidence for these points would be nice. Why wasn't GGI working properly? How is power management quirky?

It is highly irresponsible of moderators to have this at +5, and having some poor slashdolt taking this post at "Walter"'s word.
