Editorial Review:
Product DescriptionPut a lot of color in your pocket with the Cassiopeia E-105, the ultimate in mobile information management. With its big color display and powerful 131 MHz processor, the E-105 is a multimedia powerhouse that enables users to view movies or surf the Internet in vivid color with rich stereo sound. And the E-105 delivers the comprehensive functionality and application support you've come to expect from the Windows CE platform, making it the perfect tool for remote connectivity and contact management. Microsoft Windows CE ensures tight integration with Windows 95/98/NT, and the E-105's small size, large 65, 536 color, 16-bit display, and ergonomically-placed controls are testimony to its portability, functionality and simplicity. An elegantly designed Action Wheel enables you to launch programs and folders and scroll through your contacts and files with one hand. Casio has also provided plenty of RAM to run those resource-intensive multimedia programs and store plenty of data, and Casio has included a CompactFlash slot so you can add more memory if you like. Casio has built versatility into the E-105 by adding a serial port, speaker, stereo headphone jack, microphone and IrDA.

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, ... Read More

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. My only complaint with the unit is that it's more difficult to find software and accessories for as compared to a Palm Pilot. The hardware is great. Those little nuances such as the built in joystick and digital stereo sound are hard to live without. I've added the camera attachment for it. It's nice, but not a ... Read More

I've had my E-105 for about a week now and wouldn't part without it. It's perfect for toting around all my personal info as well as some minor computing tasks. Love using the note feature for jotting down notes in a meeting... also a crowd pleaser (perfect stall when you need one). The handwriting recognition 'JOT' is much easier to learn than Palm's Grafitti.
My only gripe is not with the product but more with WinCE. When you want to turn a program off, you have to go UTILITIES ... Read More
Rating: - 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 picked the E-105 vs. other PDA's (previously owning a Palm 5000 & a Psion 5) because of it's color display, spacious memory/expandibility, and the ability to play stereo MP3s. I can view images from my digital camera on it (because it can use compact flash cards - I have 100 megs worth!), and I keep full color pictures on it. It syncs very well with Outlook (faster than a Palm) and it retains all the Outlook functionality (notes in an event). It hooks up to a PC via a serial port although ... Read More
