axim is bigger, but not as wide
Compare the color of the two, the toshiba is washed out.
View from top, here's why its washed out, a light on the bottom
Not even visible from the bottom.

I don't think the comparison between the two is fair simply because they employ two totally different screen technologies. Toshiba uses reflective front lit screen and the wash out effect is normal due to the light distribution not been uniform. Just like 36/37/38 series Ipaq was side lit. Dell uses transreflective technology which means the screen is internally lit by LED's which gives it a uniform, bright backlight, much like notebooks do.

good to know. I guess I'll be sending in the rebates and giving it to my dad for his birthday.

in this price range might want to look at Audiovox\ for 149.00AR
same machine as Toshiba minus 32 of ram. Actually compares closer to the Toshiba E570.

I'm looking at lots of PDA but it seems the "perfect" unit is not here yet. Maybe someday soon....

The Audiovox also uses the 206Mhz StrongArm processor, instead of the 300Mhz XScale processor of the E335. The Audiovox's IR one of the low range ones which sprouts from the side (good only for a few feet), unlike the Toshiba's top one which has a range that extends past 15' (good for use as a color universal remote). It's 7.3 ounces and .7" thick compared with 4.9 ounces and .4" thick (49% heavier, and 75% thicker).

One really nice thing about the Audiovox though, is it has a CF slot.

Thanks for the great deal! I just bought it! I just sold my old Palm V for $60 and I picked up a new one for $125. My only concern right now is whether I will get the $50 or the $100 rebate from Toshiba. The rebate page is really unclear on which one I'm eligable for...anyone know what's going on here?

just enter in your information and it will tell you if you are prequalified. Make sure you dont miss the very left and end right numbers of the UPC.

Can you connect the E335 to an 802.11b wireless network?
What's the best way to back up the data on these?
What kind of memory expansion do these handle?

Thanks!

as of right now...no. in the future there will be SD cards that have WiFI, but not yet.

A tip: turn off the record button by reassigning it to 'none' or something else. It's too easy to turn on accidentally... and drain your battery.

Anyone happen to have a saved jpg image of the OD $100 rebate good until 6/1. It seems like the rebate clearing house took the image off their site and now are only honoring rebates with a 5/9 or sooner purchase date.

well i went ahead and took the plunge and bought one. now i can retire my sorry palm m100. i just have a couple of questions: UTmtnbiker what are you using to play divx movies? i came across the one
here, is that the one you use? also, Fritzo am i correct in the assumption that i could buy the usb host cable and connect say my cf reader/writer and use that for storage as well?

thanks in advnce.

 

[clia]

Any one know about what case to get $50 and what for $100? Thx.

That's the one I'm using, Pocket Divx. Much better than the built in MS media player.

Mine shipped yesterday. Hopefully it'll be here before the end of the week...

does not come with a SD card. the thing you see is just a filler so crap and dust won't get into the slot.

I found it locked up my PPC when I installed in. Maybe a bad install file? I don't know. I went to PocketTV which is free and very small. Plays most movies very well (no Divx support, but I don't do anything in Divx anyway).

 

[SearchMaster]

I use PocketMVP to play the movies on my Axim. It's very good as well.

Link to OD $100 rebate image if you bought it between 5/4 and 5/9.

thaks for the replys folks. also, don't forget to pm amazon for their lower price of $232.49 and get $17.50 back if you bought from them recently.

 

[Mugwumper]

How does one price match Amazon (J&R Music)?

I did not see anything at Amazon at least that led me to believe that they support such an idea.

 

[kitkit201]

call amazon.com on the number: and say customer service on the phone 4 times.. then ull be transfered to the operator, tell them that you bought the unit and the price went down, and they will do it.. she says that u can do it up to 30 days since the day of your purchase (order date)

good luck yall.. i got this for 108!! not too shabby!

I know this sounds idiotic, but what number?

I've search around on Amazon's site and man, they really don't want you to contact a human if they can help it.
