Toshiba innovates again - new Genio

Just look at the new Genios from Toshiba. Important new features include in-built camera or full dictionary (depending on the model), 128MB RAM (of course), latest processor, great screen, bundled screen cover, side scroll button, wireless LAN VoIP application and dual function microphone/headphone jack. The only things missing that some people really want is a replacable battery and in-built Bluetooth or 802.11x. Finally they seem to have made some changes to the control pad on the front. I find the direction hard to control accurately on the e550G so will be interested to try the new one.

For a lots of opinions on the device see the Pocket PC Thoughts Forums, athough I don't think the rumors of updates to the OS hear are correct. For me one of the most important things about this device is that it really keeps Toshiba Japan head-to-head against Compaq in the battle for the highest spec and most innovative devices. If either company could work out simultaneous worldwide releases they would be on to a real winner. The other important point is that there are lots of small improvements to this device which really show that Toshiba are in touch with the market and what users really want.
