Toshiba e800 and Dell Axim X3

Kim



I have a mouse type serial GPS on my website that works fine with a Dell
Axim. Rikaline GPS6010 GPS, A6012D Cable to connect GPS to Dell and an
auto power converter to supply power to both.



We have also tried WinPilot (New Versions of WinPilot support VGA) on the
Toshiba 800 and have found that the VGA resolution makes items that you
can't modify very small. The fonts of course can be modifed and made
larger.

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.
