First Pocket PC [I've seen] with the PXA255

Woo Hoo!  Toshiba has released the e755. The first Pocket PC that I've seen with new Intel PXA255 (the 'fixed' XScale - bus upped to 200MHz and voltage dropped - cpu is still at 400MHz).   

ESUP: $599.00
Equipped with Intel® PXA255 processor 400MHz, 3.8” TFT Transreflective Color display (240 x 320 portrait resolution w/64K colors), 96MB (64MB SDRAM/32MB NAND) memory, 1-SD (Secure Digital) card slot (3.3V), 1-Type I/II CF Card Slot (3.3V), integrated Wi-Fi (IEEE 802.11b), Infrared port (115kbps), and Stereo headphone/Microphone port (Stereo; 4 ring jack 3.5mm). 1-RGB (Monitor) port and 1-USB port may be added via the optional Expansion Pack.

Additional software: Pocket Word, Pocket Excel, Pocket Outlook®, Pocket Internet Explorer, Microsoft® Reader 2.0, Media Player 8 for Pocket PC, File Explorer, MSN® Messenger, Microsoft® Transcriber, Microsoft® Active Sync 3.5, Microsoft® Outlook 2000, IA Presenter, IA Screen Mirror, Adobe Acrobat® Reader® for Pocket PC, and ArcSoft® PhotoBase™ for Pocket PC.

Box contents: Toshiba Pocket PC e755, USB Cradle, 10W AC Adapter, 1-Stylus, Soft Slip

Also, a review on MSNBC here.  Now I just count the days until Pocket PC 2003, aka "Ozone", ships... in a device with the PXA255.

You should expect a fairly noticeable performance improvement in your NET CF apps on a device with the PXA255 ..and a slight boost from PPC2003 (not done any testing using the beta SDK yet, just hearsay at this point, IMO).  A client of mine (who uses a ruggedized PPC device) not long ago received a unit with a 'test' PXA255.  The app we wrote for them (NET CF, of course) got about a 30% perf boost (according to their testing).  I can't wait to run my own numbers on the app / NETCF performance on this chip.  FWIW, in some activities, my iPAQ H3650 (StrongARM 206MHz) beats the XScale (PXA250 - the original one) two-to-one.  The PXA255 should put my StrongARM in it's place. ;)

and yeah,  slightly OT...but I did mention NETCF :)

Skype identifies a set of SkypeOut problem codes clearly in their FAQ Some of these relate to the volume of traffic, and it\'s quite possible that scaling up the PSTN interconnects isn\'t as easy as 123. However a more troubling type of complaint exists

So, lately it\'s been getting sower and slower. Like, I\'d hit the \"Start\" button and the \"rolling donut\" (the little icon that tells you the PC is working on something and you should wait a while) would pop up for 15 seconds, and then the start menu

If you use your PC for work, don’ t use it for play, or allow family members to use it for play. Personal experiences show that the most common ways viruses, spyware, and other bad stuff gets on people’ s PC’ s is through“ play” stuff. This includes downloaded
