Lightning in a Bottle

Toshiba announced their e805 Pocket PC handheld today, the first such device to have a 640 by 480 resolution screen. (Typical Pocket PC resolution is 320 by 240). This could potentially mean that they will be easier to read and use; the drawback is that very little software is currently able to use the new screen display. We’ll have to wait and see if software makers see enough of an opportunity to re-write their programs to take advantage of this opportunity.

I sure hope so - I think it will make for a much more usable device.

There is an overview of the e805 and the new e405 at www.brighthand.com/article/RumorMill_Toshiba_e805_e405_Later_Today.
