In spite of the limited success of M600 and G500, E-Ten persists in the development of new communicating PDA. The manufacturer took account of the problems encountered on the preceding generations. The design features of the X.500 let think that this apparatus is only one update of G500: only Wi-Fi and compatibility EDGE come to be added to the panel of the advanced functionalities of the first PDA/GPS. Once the X.500 in action, work carried out jumps to the eyes: better completion, improved performances, exemplary stability and small overall dimensions at least make this apparatus a very functional tool. In spite of the obvious efforts, the design forever be the strong point of the E-Ten products. This time, the manufacturer plays the chart of sobriety: the “square” aspect contrasts with the roundnesses of the competitors.

Ultra communicating

Naturally, the dress does not do all: the X.500 is dissociated especially by its characteristics. After the iPAQ hw6915 and the HTC P3300, here thus the third PDA gathering the whole of the current communicating functions: mobile telephony (GSM/GPRS/EDGE), Bluetooth 2.0, Wi-Fi 802.11b/g, Radio operator FM, and GPS (with A-GPS and TMC). For telephony, E-TEN/Glofiish provides several software improving ergonomics, like fast classification, or the newspaper of the calls. The mobile office part evolves/moves: the EDGE authorizes flows theoretical close to 200 kbits/s. In practice, our tests show that the rates oscillate between 100 and 150 kbits/s. a utility transforms the PDA into modem USB in some clicks. The followers of telephony on IP via Skype will appreciate the possibility of rocking the sound on the ear-phone opposite front, and thus of being able to use the PDA in the same way as for a traditional call. Attention all the same bus if the power of the processor makes it possible to use such software without deceleration, autonomy suffers from the Wi-Fi couple/strong consumption of the processor. Wi-Fi (compatible 802.11g) has a good sensitivity and flows higher than 1,2 Mbits/s (150 ko/s).
