Product: Cassiopeia E-200 Price: HK$3,880 Pros: Three expansion slots and good features Memory: Expensive and a little bulkier than rival models
Casio has made its latest personal digital assistant, the Cassiopeia E-200, so expandable that it is sure to appeal to the geeks among us.
The feature-rich PDA is equipped with both a Compact Flash card slot and a Secure Digital slot. You can also buy an optional PC card unit to provide a third slot.
You might wonder why anyone would need so many slots in one device. For a serious geek, however, there can be no such thing as too many expansion slots.
You can boost the built-in 64 megabytes of random access memory with an SD or CF memory card.
To get Bluetooth connectivity, you can use either the SD or CF slot to stick in a third-party SD or CF Bluetooth card. With the PC card unit, you can stick in a wireless modem card to get general packet radio service connectivity or Wi-Fi access. Or you could insert a Wi-Fi CF card and a GPS unit in the PC card slot - the possibilities abound.
