Toshiba e800 and Dell Axim X3

Hi,

After all the discussion about the Toshiba e800 on this forum I did some
investigating. It does look like a very interesting Pocket PC. Besides the
large (4" vs. 3.5" or 3.8") high resolution (480x640 vs. 240x320) screen, it
also has both CF and SD card slots and a very, very large optional battery.
I've added it to my example systems web page and Pocket PC comparison page.
I ordered one for testing. Hopefully it will be easy to make Glide
Navigator II run on it in high resolution mode. If not it should work fine
in standard resolution for now. Larry Goddard seems confident that he can
make serial data/power cables for the e800 so I've added a cable to my
Goddard web page.

The new Dell Axim X3 doesn't have a serial data port so it won't work with
an external GPS/logger, but it is a nice low cost solution. It also has an
optional large battery (but not nearly as large as the one for the e800) and
should work great with an SD GPS.

Both systems should be nice portable solutions.

I'll let you know how they work after I receive them and play with them.
