Summary: Best Palm-size PC Yet!
Review: This is the best Palm-size PC currently available. More color, sound, features, memory and developer support. I've been a loyal Philips (Velo & Nino) fan, but this device is much better.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Get the E-125, NOT the 100
Review: This is very bad, do not buy the 100, go for the E-125 it has more programs for it and is much better with 32 mb ram. I like the cassiopeia but the e-100 is way outdated, can't wate for the next line cuz it only gets better

This is a very useful palm pc though, you can play movies, some games and read any e-book. It runs on very old windows ce 2.1 which they stopped making games for. Even Casio.com doesn't list anything about the e-100. but if you can buy it for under $100, it could be worth it if you just wanna listen to music and watch old simpsons episodes.

Summary: Oldie but Goodie
Review: This was my first PDA, bought via E-bay (sorry for the Ad, but that's the truth)in 2003. It was great for the things I used it (freshman at the University, so I had to make many essays), although it only had "Note taker" for that. The Excel sheets had to be done in another program (SpreadCE, great software). The problem was that there wasn't enough memory in the device to store many programs or files, but once I bought a CompactFlash card (first of 128 mb, after that of 512 mb) this wasn't a problem anymore! Another problem was the software made for the device. There isn't much, so you don't have as much options as with other PDAs, but the one that exists is (mostly) great, although many times you'll have to obtain it via "unorthodox" methods, because the companies that created them don't exist anymore, or don't handle them.
Why did I stopped using this wonderful item? Because the port that connects it with everything else (craddle, modem, keyboard) broke appart from the mainboard (??) of the PDA. After 2 months in repair, and the technicians clueless of how to make it work again, I decided that it was time to move on... it indeed was like loosing a true friend.
I'm using now a E-125 (of Casio) and many of the features of the older E-100 are missed, like the natural background image (I had to download a program to use my old images in the E-125 as backgrounds again), or the simplicity of the JOT reader (the E-125's JOT reader is far more complicated than the E-100's one), but anyway, it's something alike, but with more software available.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Best Palm-size PC
Review: This Windows CE device continues to surpise me with its power and color. A lot can be done with it. It plays MP3 files without any problems.
