Product Description:
The slim EM-500 is a mobile multimedia tool that targets both the younger market and professionals. Designed to highlight Casio's new faster processor and available in 5 different colors, the EM-500 is stylishly designed and engineered to take advantage of the new and emerging digital content that is available on the Internet. The EM-500 is the first Pocket PC to feature the new MMC (multimedia card memory system) featuring postage stamp size memory cards with up to 64MB of storage.
Amazon.com Review:
The Cassiopeia EM-500, Casio's follow-up to its E-100 series of personaldigital assistants, closely mirrors the E-115 but offers a few changes. Thebiggest change is the move to using MultiMediaCard (MMC) memory over the morestandard CompactFlash memory slot. The postage stamp-size MMC cards offer neededmemory expandability (as the EM-500 comes with only 16 MB of internal memory,compared to the 32 MB of the E-115), especially if you plan to use the EM-500 asa portable MP3 player--one of its many multimedia capabilities.
While MMC over CompactFlash limits the ability of the EM-500 to use many PocketPC peripherals, we were willing to overlook that once we got a peek at the EM-500'sgorgeous TFT screen. This very bright, very colorful (65,536 colors, to beexact) display shines beautifully when you're playing games or watching mobilevideo player clips, which run along at a respectable 15 to 20 frames per secondwith the EM-500's 150 MHz MIPS processor.
The thick EM-500 (about twice the thickness of the Palm Vx) offers standardCasio programmable buttons to bring up the menu, calendar, and contacts, as wellas a navigational D-pad, which is great for gaming. In addition to functioningas a stereo MP3 player (when using the included headphones), the EM-500 alsoworks as a voice recorder, allowing you to dictate reminders for yourself orvoice messages to send with e-mail. Casio promises six hours of battery life,but we often were able to get seven or more as long as we left the backlight onmedium brightness.
With its IrDA port, the EM-500 can communicate with wireless devices, and itsUSB connection provides speedy data transfer--even installing programs largerthan a megabyte took only a few seconds.
Despite the limited memory and the lack of CompactFlash support, the powerfulprocessor, excellent display, and long battery life make the EM-500 acompetitive entry into the Pocket PC market. --J. Curtis

I've had mine for three years.I did buy it new, though.I have been eyeing the Dell Axim, but since there is nothing wrong with my Casio, I can't find any reason to switch.
Rating:  - Poor craftsmanship!
Sure the em-500 is great, while it works!I bought two units off ebay and they were like new when I received them.One worked fine for only about six months, then the internal memory died and left me with a 200 dollar paperweight.The second lasted another six months.Then it too, developed a case of the internal flu.It won't even work right long enough for me too get the information stored in it off!If it were just one unit I might think I were just unlucky, but two going bad tells me these ...

Rating: - Too Cool
I purchased it 2 years ago. I used it just a little. Now I sell real estate, and I think it just great. I am learning how many wonderful features it has. The screen is a little hard to read in the sun, but what are sun-glasses for??? I wish that they had not stop making it. Most of my friends use the palm, and they are always saying how hard it is to use, this em-500 is a breeze.
Rating: - This Pocket Pc Is Great!!!...
I bought this pocket pc last year ... i enjoy using it and have done what i want with it i use every free software i can find on it and it seems to keep up pretty well considering it is a 2001 model ;) it is a good value for its prize BUT... the battery doesent seem to keep up with me :( but if you want to spend a little more you can buy an extended life battery from casio :) so in conclusion it is a great handheld but its battery life could have been better
Rating: - Excelent Performance At Low Cost!!
