NEC MobilePro 200E

NEC’s previous Pocket PC handheld, the MobilePro 300E, was something of a mixed bag -- it was nice and light, but short on built-in expansion slots. The company has learned from its earlier mistakes to some extent, and the MobilePro 200E is a neater device than its predecessor, with a cleaner design. But NEC has missed a couple of tricks: most notably, it has abandoned its removable rechargeable battery idea. The MobilePro 200E is aimed at the low to middle end of the market, and, to some extent, needs to convince those looking at Dell’s new Axim X5 to pay a little more money for their handheld.
