CNET Review
The Good: Color screen; plays MP3s; CompactFlash expansion slot.
The Bad: Doesn't include a PC-based PIM; sync software works with only Outlook; small library of third-party applications.
The Bottom Line: Casio's affordable color PDA is a capable organizer, but it's no match for competing Palm and Handspring PDAs.
