Folks -
A couple of pretty interesting new PDA's on the horizon, allegedly for spring delivery...
The E-100 from Casio
http://www.casio.com/corporate/pressdetail.cfm?PR_ID=60
VR4121 at 131MHz
240 x 320 pixels LCD, TFTColor 65536Colors
16MB RAM
16MB ROM
price?
date available?
The Jornada 420 from HP
http://www.hp.com/jornada/palmtops/hp400/prdt_spec/prdtspec.html
Hitachi SH7709a 32-bit processor operating at 100 MHz
240 x 320 pixels LCD, CSTN, 256-color
8MB RAM; upgradable to 16 MB
8MB ROM
$519
available now
Both have:
Palm Pilot form factor
Win CE 2.1 and a pile of apps
Audio speaker and microphone
One infrared port (lrDA version 1.2)
One RS232 serial port in cradle (allows synchronisation when unit is docked)
1 card slot for Flash memory
Lithium ion battery
Both should run Squeak pretty well.
But...
how is the display in bright light?
how long does the battery last with and w/o backlighting?
what are the actual Squeak speeds?
Anybody have any further info on these two or other similar machines?
