Another LOOX review!! Take a look @ http://www.digit-life.com/articles2/loox600/index.html

Conclusion:

“Once again I must say that we tested the penultimate version of the Fujitsu Siemens Pocket LOOX, which is mentioned on the back of the PDA: Evaluation Sample. But even now I can say that if the developers correct most of the errors in its software, this model will become a best-seller. The light, attractive and functional device is worth collecting money for it. But now, before the official release, I don’t recommend to buy the Pocket LOOX: it has a lot of raw stuff, but the final version should be paid attention to by those who want a pocket computer. “

PPCsg.com (Pocket PC Signapore Community) have managed to their hands on the Toshiba E740 and have written a review on their site. Go on over and take a look!!

Conclusion:

“This e740 with integrated WiFi is clearly targeted at the corporate sector. Most consumers would prefer to have a unit with integrated Bluetooth. Toshiba’s decision to not bring in this model is really puzzling. Unless you have WiFi access at work or maybe at home, as a consumer, integrated WiFi brings little value to the unit. For the corporate sector, it is another story. A WiFi enabled Pocket PC can transform the unit into a great productivity tool for corporations as it allows users to access corporate data wirelessly. For scenarios like these, e740 with integrated WiFi will be feasible.”
