Best PPC money can buy???

I currently have a Toshiba e740 and am very hapy with its video playback. What do you guys think about the Toshiba Genio. I love its 4" screen and the optional 1gb micro drive. But what about the speed of the device.

My e740 does 472 MHz, in case you wanted to know. The e740 is still the fastest PPC for video, bar none. Especially if you take into account its dual expansion and integrated WiFi...

As far as the best video player, that'd be (f.k.a. PocketDIVX). It's up to version .8P now. That's the 16th letter of the alphabet!

Averaging over the last 4 releases, they averaged one new release every 14 days! That's pretty good, wouldn't you say? And it doesn't look like they'll slow down very soon... They still have a ton of features planned!

How long did it take you to count those letters?

[Robotbeat]

LOL. About 15 seconds.

HP 5455! (wicked)!

the screen on the e740 is REALLY BAD (i've got one)

Hehe... This topic reminds me of a dream I had last week... It was about how I couldn't find my new PPC, whatever it was (I didn't know in the dream). (In real life, my e740 had just been in the shop getting repaired.) However, I found this one PPC that was just lying on the ground somewhere, so I thought, "Finders, keepers," and kept it. It was pretty sweet... It was virtually indestructable. It was one of those industrial type PPCs. It was made out of rubber (turquoise and purple colored), was about the size of a literal brick (but half the height of a brick if you laid the brick normally), had an integrated camera, and in all ways I remember it was awesome. It probably had an integrated MicroDrive and CDMA and WiFi (wireless something, for sure), but I don't remember those details for sure, but I do remember the other details I said. The only thing is that it was MIPS and was the size of a brick. At the time, I didn't care. I was just glad to have any type of Pocket PC, especially a free one. Then, I woke up and I remembered that my e740 was here and I was happy. Funny thing is that I think I might rather have had the brick-sized Pocket PC that was in my dream... It had a ton of features! It might've also been like 200 MHz, but I remember that it was definitely MIPS. Probably a Casio device, if it had existed in real-life. Makes you think that maybe the newest Pocket PCs aren't necessarily better than the older ones, it's just that the software being developed today only works on the newer PPCs with their ARM processors. For instance, performs almost as good on an e125 as on an iPAQ (In fact, if you overclock the Casio device to 180 MHz, the e125 is actually faster than the iPAQ at 206 MHz.) This is due to highly efficient code and being highly optimized for the MIPS processor (even though it is still even quite optimized for the ARM processor as well) and even uses some 64-bit MIPS code. Very interesting...

Again, nothing beats the screens on the old Casio PPCs as far as indoor display quality. They suck power to no end and are unusable in sunlight, but they are still better than all the other screens.
