300mhz 64-meg color Pocket PC - $249

[jtallon]

Taken from www.pocketpcthoughts.com - Amazon is taking preorders for the Viewsonic V35 color pocket PC. 300mhz X-Scale processor, 64-meg of memory, SD memory expansion. Don't ask me how it rates - I don't know. Price is $249 with free shipping. The 'regular' price is supposedly going to be $299, so this appears to be a good deal.

No release date specified though - not sure when it will actually be released.

Enjoy !

Really, I thought it was scheduled for this fall as well?

I would drop my Audiovox in a sec -- if it wasn't for my investment in my 256 CF card and also the fact that SD cards are so freakin expensive still.

device will become available in November at the earliest, with a launch price of US$299

Dell to Unveil $199 Pocket PC at Comdex (10 October 2002)

Both handhelds are expected to be put on display at the Comdex Fall 2002 tradeshow in November, ZDNet said. One handheld, which will incorporate a 300MHz Intel® XScale? processor, will sell for $199. The other handheld will include a 400MHz Intel XScale processor and sell for $299.

Separately, an internal Dell document found on the Internet described two similar devices, but didn't mention the devices' cost. Dell spokesman Jess Blackburn confirmed that the documents were from the company, yet cautioned that the specifications may not be final. He would not comment on pricing.

Priced at $199 and $299, the new handhelds set a new pricing standard for devices using Microsoft®'s Pocket PC 2002 operating system. Other device makers have recently shown interest in lowering prices for such handhelds, and for good reason; some popular Pocket PC-based devices can sell for more than $600.

I have been interested in this item for the past few days. Am I missing something? It says it is $299 and free shipping. Where does it say anything about $250? I am signed in and everything and I see no discount anywhere.
