Toshiba e750Toshiba e750

The e750 is a second-generation Toshiba PDA and is surprisingly similar in looks to the first, the e740. As with the e740, there is only an option of either integrated wireless LAN or Bluetooth, not both. The Toshiba includes both CompactFlash and SD/MMC flash card slots.

Also running the Microsoft Pocket PC OS, the Toshiba's tools are not as integrated as those in the iPAQ.

The wireless LAN configuration of the Toshiba, while not as directly accessible as that of the iPAQ, was the easiest of all to set up and configure. We were up and running within a couple of minutes.

While the Toshiba is a very nice unit and has some attractive features and functions, it doesn't really stand up to the iPAQ's refined development. It will be interesting to see where the next couple of generations of the Toshiba PDAs takes it.
