PDA - Toshiba e570 or Casio E-200 !? Can't decide...

Rexy · 30th January 2002, 9:31 PM

Trying to pick the best PDA from these two. Both are Pocket PC 2002 yadda yadda. Have similar features, both have CF-II and SD memory slots, both can do plenty.
The Toshiba is looking best, but the Casio has one feature, namely USB connectivity meaning you can plug in a USB keyboard directly into the PDA via a $30 USB adaptor. The Casio also has USB on the docking cradle. However, the speaker is in a lame position on the Casio (middle of joypad) and is a lot harder to get in Australia.
Has anyone bought the Tosh or the Casio and can comment?
Both PDA's seem to be the best of the lot at the moment, and the dual expansion slots inbuilt leaves the Ipaq/HP jobs for dead.
Love to hear comments, as I've scoured the web for days without a direct comparison of these two. Both have been reveiwed as "the best" by different sites, which doesn't help my decision much.
Ta,
Rexy.

Toshiba is the way to go.

I think PC Authority did a comparison (I bought the magazine mainly coz I wanted to buy a PDA myself, but I'm getting a Vx later on today, not a PPC in the end) between those and quite a few others.

Basically, the Toshiba ends up wiping everything else for either value, or features... it ain't as stylish as the journada, or has bluetooth like the iPaq.. but how much do people (and yourself) use those anyway.

I recommend the Toshiba, it looks... sweet as hell.
