Casio CASSIOPEIA E-125
Strengths: Amazes me daily with what it can do read ebooks in all formats pocket microsoft word excel etc games movies music everything without locking up too frequently (probably less than your main pc)
Weakness: storage rom progs can't be erased e,g to upgrade the installed windows media player to e.g 7.1 it'll keep both progs wasting space
great machine few quirky hangups but not tempted to upgrade to ppc 2002 it still does it all and if the new IBM microdrive cflash type 11 slot works on the e125 we'll have (currently 360 mb 512mb 1gb storage solution in a compactflash hard drives a new 4gb drive is coming from Hitachi in the spring it should be supported the e100 e105 and e200 is supported ours has not yet been tested here's hoping for a pocket PC hard drive that uses less power than cf cards and we can watch complete movies on the go plus keep all our music,games everything it'll boost the e125 usefullness 5000% here's hoping for a successful trial please IBM/HITACHI make it work

Strengths: Great price. I paid $230.19 shipped at techforless.com. Built in compact flash slot. Trust me you will want it. Get at least a 64MB card to add to it. MIPS CPU. Comes with rechargable battery.
Weakness: Slow on NES (Nintendo) emulation. (at least the emu I have used) Display is not viewable from an angle. Big compared to other pricey PDAs (Was not a factor for me)
I recommend this PDA if you are looking for a color PDA that is fast and cheap. It is OK for playing some games. My wife likes Jewel. I like the Advantgo service - It downloads web pages for viewing later.
I'm still confused about what programs do work on this PDA. IT is a MIPS processor (It has so far ran all programs for MIPS). It is a Windows CE device but not all WINCE programs work on it. It is a Pocket PC but not all Pocket PC programs work on it. And then you have all the different versions of WINCE that are not compatable. Very confusing!

Strengths: Very versatile, great display (except bright day light), good handling, good battery capacity: gets me flawlessly through the day
Weakness: A little on the heavy side, to thick for a shirt pocket, cover for CF-card flimsy at best, when using a modem no CF-card can be present, screen barely readable in daylight, documentation
This Pocket PC is a solid machine (except that CF-card cover) which serves me as a PDA, a MP3 player, a voice recorder, and as a game boy. For Voice/music listening an earphone can be attached. I wish I could connect an external microphone. The market does not respond (yet?) to the Pocket PCs to well, there is no external keyboard (to my knowledge) and getting a plug-in camera is close yo impossible. The Pocket PCs usually have one extension slot only. That does not allow me to have a map stored and a GPS receiver attached at the same time or have a camera installed and take advantage of external memory. The software for synchronisation with a PC is a bare minimum that works OK for many items. Over all: Good value for money, quite satisfied. Hope I can use it for three years.

Casio CASSIOPEIA E-125
Strengths: Metal body, solid and rugged and classic
Weakness: for the price : absolutely none.
After two years, this is still one of the classics in pocket PC arena, like 57 chevy, this one never quits, and dependable.it can compete against new 206 ARM machines, you dont need a fast CPU on these machine anyways. I just got a new Toshiba e310, screen quality is nowhere near this one, and it is not much fater either, I wish Casio makes smaller Pocket PCs.
Too bad Palm users do not comprehend the superiority of Pocket PC.
