PDAs, Cellphones, Wireless Geeks.com sent us a special edition of the Toshiba e800 Pocket PC PDA. What's special about this new revision we review today is that it comes by default with a very high capacity battery and the ability to use USB devices through its "presentation pack" accessory, making it a product best suited for professionals, but also for geeks.

ram vs flash

very clever comment about ram vs flash.

So, now you gona say that buying some proprietary(?) ram chips would be cheaper then a 2Gb compact flash?

i wouldn't even bother if the system came with no flash memory at all having suport for cf and sd cards.

btw, i don't know if you mean flash memory when you say ROM, because rom reads: READ ONLY MEMORY. wich is not the case with flash memory.

We know of the difference, thank you very much. But in the Pocketpc world, "rom" has become synonymous to "flash storage". It's a sign-o-the-times term, not a real term.

Oh, and no, I do not agree with your sarcastic comment about buying CF/SD cards to make up for storage. The fact that you can, doesn't mean that people will do. They buy a product so they have a full solution in their hands. Some (office, mostly) people never buy CF/SD cards.

And stop making the same comment twice (I had to make invisible one of the two, you could have just edit the first one).
