“Casio is launching a brand new model in its Cassiopeia series in Japan, more similar to the designs of the E-1xx series models that became so popular at the introduction of the original Pocket PC platform. Whether it will be available outside Japan remains a question, but Casio has had a habit of introducing new designs to the Japanese first, for then to bring them to other markets later.
To be available to those very Japanese customers in March, the price of Cassioipeia E-3000 has yet to be decided. Casio expects to produce 50,000 units of the E-3000 on a yearly basis, which indicates that a device with this particular model number is unlikely to turn up outside Japan as the quantity would be too low.
The E-3000 sports specifications that don’t stand back to other high-end Pocket PCs, including a 400 MHz Intel® XScaleâ„¢ PXA250 processor, 64 MB of RAM and 32 MB of ROM. Its screen is a typical 3.5″ large, offers 16-bit color and uses semi-transflective TFT technology. It also has a CompactFlash Type II expansion slot, as well as an SD/MMC card expansion slot. Other features include a HP Jornada 560 series style up/down rocker button, as well as an Infrared port and USB connectivity.
Perhaps the most impressive trait of the E-3000, Casio claims it offers 15 hours of battery life – which can be increased to 30, by opting for the ‘large’ battery. As a result, the handheld is not among the thinnest; its measurements read 13.5 cm x 7.8 cm x 1.8 cm, and it weighs 190 g with the standard battery attached.”
