Solid product hurt by WindowsCE support
Moved up from a Palm pilot profesional to the E-105. The product was very solid, the color excellent. The size was a little large but given the features a good tradeoff. I needed to sync the E-100 with two different PCs (Windows98 & WindowsNT). The sync with NT worked flawlessly but I was never able to sync (using Active Sync 3.0) on my Compact Presario (Windows98/Outlook2000). Customer service was never able to resolve the problem as to why it would not sync on Windows98/Outlook2000. Without the sync ability the usefullness of the product was eliminated and I had to go back to the Palm. Seems to be a good product with older software/systems (WindowsNT 4.0/Outlook98) but seems to lack compatibility with Windows98/Office2000 products. Most likely a WindowsCE problem, not a E-100 problem but the two are a package deal.

Quality but still missing something
The Casio Cassiopeia is a fine product. I enjoyed the time while I owned it. I took it back because of Windows CE. Several of the applications have no way of closing them. They don't have a close option in the file menu nor do they have the "X" box in any of the four corners. This was very annoying because it made you go to the equivalent of the close programs dialog box (like hitting alt-ctrl-del) every time you wished to close these programs.

Things I did like were the voice recorder. I also enjoyed Outlook and the other MicroCrap applications. Sometimes MicroCrap suprises me.

Over priced-worst service
Having used the Casio E-11 for a year now I can safely say that it is over priced, under powered, energy hungry and only a passable door stop. Casio Customer service is an oxymoron - they take weeks to respond and their Hotline is always busy - indicative of poor service or poor product.

When you do get customer service to respond they often only give you half the info you need - and it may not be correct! - Personally - I'd buy a good paper note pad - cheaper and much more reliable or buy the Palm Pilot.

The second best PDA of the world (1st is E105)
I just hope that I can get a E105, or hundreds of 80MB CompactFlash Cards with it. Busy loading all kinds of funny software into it.

Palm 5 vs. Cassiopeia
I have had both the Palm V and Cassiopeia E-100. The Cassiopeia is empressive when demoed but when it actually comes down to what you will use the Palm V is a lot easier to use and carry around. The Cassiopeia display doesn't work well outdoors cause you can barely read the screen and the battery runs out in a day or two ... where the palm 5 you can carry around for a month or so.
