From Winmag® I used Casio's Cassiopeia E-125 as our Pocket PC-based e-book reader. Not surprisingly, the $549.95 Cassiopeia's size works for and against it. The 8.8-ounce device is certainly painless to carry around. Although it measures 3.3 by 5.2 by .78 inches, its 4-inch diagonal screen is small for reading a book. Microsoft's ClearType technology provides clear, easy-to-read characters, but only 15 lines are visible at a time. That's a lot of page turning, which is done by pressing the large button on... read more

Comment: Simply the best Pocket PC, hands down. Rating:
Like most of you out there, I did alot of research before deciding on a PDA/pocket pc to invest in. Alot of that research done right here at Amazon, reading your various opinions. In the end, the PDA race for me finished off with 3 finalists.
COMPAQ Ipaq 3650 HP Jornada Casio Cassiopeia E-125
All the compelling reasons are there for them all. But in the end, I thought, what would be the REAL reason for having a portable system with me. Data storage? Processor power? Screen magnificence.
The CASIO won out hands down with literally ALL of the above. It's size disadvantage is really not a disadvantage at all. I don't believe I would trust myself to put an expensive device in my pocket and have me absentmindedly bump into a chair or something and break it. My CASIO is safely in my portfolio. It's light, convenient and POWERFUL. I use an Access compatible database program to actively use my Casio at work. Money works fabulous on it, and the Activesync link is flawless. It works each and every time and syncs everything.
All in all, I could not be happier with this little powerhouse. I love it and recommend it WHOLEHEARTEDLY!
PS: Pick up a pack of PDA SCREEN WRITERIGHT plastic protector sheets. They give a total sense of security.
Comment: Why this is the right Pocket PC to buy Rating:
As soon I first saw a pocket PC, I wanted one. While I saved up for it, I made sure I did my research to make sure I bought the right product. Being in Canada, I had access to the IPAQ, the HP, and the CASIO models. The Casio E-125 has been a blessing. Here's Why:
1) SCREEN: It's screen is rich and crisp. The screen is visible in sunlight. While the IPAQ may be slightly better outdoors, it is not worth how much better Casio's screen is indoors. Casio has 65,000 colours, the IPAQ a mere 4,000, and it shows! The HP screen is horrible!!!! Don't touch HP Pocket PC's (I say this only about their Pocket PC's, I have an HP Pavillion Desktop Computer and it is marvellous)
2) PROCESSOR: OK, I'll give this one to IPAQ, but you can't compare their processors simply by the numbers. Each processor works differently, and the IPAQ's 206Mhz processor ends up being only slightly better that the Casio's 150Mhz. I would tell you about HP's benchmarks, but they are really bad. Again, stay away from HP.
3) SIZE: The IPAQ is definetely smaller than the Casio, but once you start adding expansion packs to the IPAQ, it is just as bulky, so no real difference here.
4) GAMING CAPABILITY: Problem with the IPAQ here. While it is faster, the IPAQ does not support pressing two buttons at once, which is bad if you want to play a game where you have to jump and shoot (or any two actions) at the same time. So if you want to play a lot of games, go with the Casio. The HP supports multi-button, but because its processor and and screen are so bad, stay away!
5) EXPANDABILITY: The Casio E-125 accepts MMC and CF type 1 and 2 cards. So does the IPAQ, but you must buy separate expansion packs to do so. The HP is similar to the Casio in this regard. As well, you can plug in a digital camera (sold separately) to the Casio E-125, something to think about if you want to get a digital camera in the future.
So that's why I told my friend who workd at a computer store to give me the CASIO E-125, even though he just got in a shipment of IPAQs. The Casio is not only better, but it has much less bugs than the IPAQ. As well, the IPAQ's battery CANNOT be replaced by the user, it must be returned to the factory. So for those reasons, go for the Casio!

This is actually very good handheld here, i recommend you to buy it because it has a very bright screen when i sychronise it doesn't crash like other TOO complicated machines. I added compact flash and had some of my movies in my computer transformed into window CE 3.0 usable movie item in windows media 7.1. REAL‚‡‚‚‚„II
