Toshiba Pocket PC E310 Strong ARM 32mb 206mhz 3.5 TFT SD WIN Pocket PC Review

by Michael S. Lasky

The least-expensive and thinnest Pocket PC comes with an exceptional high-resolution color screen.

WHAT'S HOT: Who would have thought it could happen--a Pocket PC that actually fits comfortably in your pocket. Toshiba's inexpensive E310 weighs less than 5 ounces and measures just under a half-inch thick, making it the sleekest, most stylish Pocket PC to date. And its $399 price tag belies its generous package of hardware and software features. A crisp, bright, high-resolution 65,536-color reflective display offers easy readability indoors and out. The great screen is particularly good when you're using the included Pocket Word, Excel, Internet Explorer, or any of several bundled games.

WHAT'S NOT: The E310 comes with just 32MB of memory. While that gets you by for basic functions, it is obviously not enough for any sort of lengthy multimedia storage. Battery life also seems to have taken a hit as a result of the small size, getting about 5 to 7 hours between charges.

WHAT ELSE: An included headphone port on the top of the unit means you can use the E310 as a digital music (MP3, WMA) and video player as well. The Secure Digital card slot allows you to add data storage and lets you transfer files and apps easily; you can also have wireless connectivity with a WiFi or Bluetooth card.

UPSHOT: While you may have to top the battery off more often than you would with other Pocket PC devices, the convenience of the E310's size and weight more than compensates. The least-expensive, lightest Pocket PC out there is ideal for anyone who wants the power of a Pocket PC device without the bulk.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Excellent integration with Outlook and Office programs. Good screen. Excellent portable-Office functionality.

    Weaknesses: Battery life could be a little more robust.

    Overall Evaluation: Migrated from the Palm world, and very pleased with product. Very good unit. Can fit in a shirt pocket, as does a Palm. Block recognition very close to Palm grafitti writing, which makes transition easier. Some cool additions include ability to play MP3 files and easy integration with office programs - can bring spreadsheets and doc files along for reference or modification. Can respond to emails during long meetings.
