• The technology is not yet ready for this machine
  I got the E-105 and have used it for a few months now. The MP3 player is OK, but after playing 5 or 6 songs, it hogs memory and starts cracking. The only way to remedy is to soft reset the machine. Using the MP3 player slowly drains the memory until it performs painfully slow. The sync cradle does not work properly and disconnects from the computer at random intervals. The screen is all scratched from using the stylus (weak). The more programs loaded onto the 32 megs of internal memory, the slower it gets.... more info

• No Comparision!
  I've owned everything from Apple's Newton to the Palm Pilot. Nothing compares to the E100 or E105. I purchased an E100 when they first came out and recently upgraded to the E105.

• Cassiopeia beats PalmPilot by a mile
  I recently bought a Cassiopeia and I am happy to say that I have ABSOLUTLY NO PROBLEM WITH IT! Well, except y that you can't play Age of Empires II on it!

  The Cassiopeia has helped me get much more organised. It's "Tasks" menu let's you enter all the things you have to do, and it reminds you to do them!

  You can take down notes in it; It's got a character recodniser as well as a keyboard, and this alows for fast typing speeds.

  I've also Heard that you can buy an emulator of the Net for it, and this... more info
