Rumour of another VGA PPC: Asus 730

(Note: this is just a picture of an Asus PPC, NOT the A730)
It is rumoured that Asus will be releasing a VGA-capable Pocket PC, the A730
"With arrival of Toshiba the e800 and the closeness of Windows Mobile 2004, PDA VGA are awaited more and more. What is the strategy of Asus concerning this new resolution? Yes, we will have at the beginning of June/May the PDA Asus A730 which will be VGA and which will have an integrated numerical camera. It will be a product which will change a little bit fields of A620 and which will be rather centered Multimédia."
Of course, I've decided to go out and purchase the Toshiba e805 today and wouldn't you know it...Everybody is going to have a VGA PPC!

Isn't that the way it always happens!

Any comments?

I just can't keep up. I got rid of my Axim X3 in favor of the HP iPaq 4155 just so I could have WiFi. Now VGA is all the rage. Crap.

I think I am going to start looking at VGA and wait for PPC 2004

Nigel,
That's the way it goes with everything technical. The longer you wait, the better it gets, but the longer you wait the longer you go without.

Knelson and everyone else...
Rumor has it that Windows 2003 will have a service pack out this summer with support for Landscape mode....I'll have to track down that article and post it.
But until then....I'm playing with my new Toshiba e805....I'm so excited!

I messed with one in Circuit City when I was buying my 4155. The VGA feature is pretty cool, although very tiny! I think that would be a pretty cool feature to have in all PPC's.
Oh, well. That will give me something to look forward to for next year.
