I have here a free Toshiba e740 (Windows) PocketPC, one that was given away. It is not completely useless, but is unreliable enough I won't use it (probably why it was given away). Yes, I picked it up, though I've regretted it. (If there were only a Linux port for it...)
But the free aspect was what led you to try it out, right? There are plenty of free Linux distros that I’ve tried but don’t use. I found one I like and I use it exclusively.
I wished I still had my e740 information folder. I had one, and found several hacks that made it become one of the best I’ve ever owned. They are still on the net if you want to search for them. It was the first wireless device I ever had, and caused me to buy my first wireless router. Loved the power and speed of that one.
Good luck.
P.S. If you want to give it away, I’ll em you my P.O. Box number. :)
