In the past few years, the world has seen remarkable advances in the world of personal digital assistants or PDA's as they are referred to. The technology has become so advanced that it is now possible to purchase advanced versions of these PDA's known as Pocket PC's. These pocket PC's run at anywhere between 100 and 500 MHz. Microsoft took this as an opportunity to widen their horizons and now the Pocket PC's run on various versions of Windows CE. The little computers also feature onboard RAM, flash card readers and integrated wireless Ethernet cards. In essence they are like Nintendo Game boy's on steroids, as the user can also input games for pleasure. It is this mixture of the ability to organize one's schedule while engaging in a friendly game of Doom CE that has made these pocket PC's so popular. To add to their already crowded list of features, they double as MP3 players and will play movie files.
Seeing this as a way to broaden their customer base, Toshiba adopted the task of creating their own Pocket PC. Their first attempt came in the form of the Toshiba e330. Running at 300 MHz with 64MB of SDRAM, the product was a hit. Casio, Compaq, and Sony, now had a new competitor on their hands. Toshiba didn't stop there; they later released the Toshiba e740, a much faster, and more compatible new Pocket PC, that would surely keep up Toshiba's good name.
