PocketMatrix

ah! no more sleepless nights...

First impressions:<br><br>VERY nice look, it has a slight purple to it that makes it look great.<br><br>Extremely light and small, I am not sure I would want anything lighter than this is personally.<br><br>Well crafted and thought out.<br><br>All plastic which I would rather not see, MMC/SD card slot is a bit difficult to get back in and I dont think it is quite sturdy enough. Definatly the weekest part of the device.<br><br>CF slot has a card you must insert while it is empty, that is a bit of a pain in the ass, the plastic will likely break without it there and if the slot is empty.<br><br>Sits very sturdy in cradle, and the cradle is weighted at the bottom so it is not likely to tip or fall out.<br><br>I shall now run away and play with it(the E-200 of course;)) some more.<br><br>Post any questions that you would like to find out about, I am now going to move this thread to the general disscusion because it is not an "off-topic" post

My E-200 just arrived, I am so happy since it was estimated to come tommorow. I will be at this for days...Expect a review soon. If you have any questions about this unit that you would like me to cover in my review please post them here.<br><br>Last modification: Matt Keys - 12/20/01 at 13:53:39

Yes. I have a question. Why does it frickin' cost so much?? $600! AHHH! I very much like it too. I saw one the day they got in at a Casio store. I like the design and look, but they didn't let me play with it . But I still disagree with the speaker in the gamepad design, your finger will muffle the sound! It is good for favoring right-handed and left-handed people, but I just like the EM-500 button layout better, like a Gameboy. Can't wait for your full review Matt!

How can you caompare the speed of the 206mhz StrongArm to an overclocked E-125? I have an E-125, and really want to get the new unit cause it's just too slow, espicially since I want to have a way to view my music vids on the road. I know I won't get a full 30fps, but the 2-3fps on my E-125 in WMV format just doesn't cut it. I haven't overclocked my E-125 yet, but am looking into it. What's your opinion?

What about battery life?
