I really love it, I know it's expensive but it worth it,
I am PreSale Support, so I need to give several presetantion in the client office's and I really love to give my presetation with my PDA. it is easy and fast.
You can Download the presetation software for FREE in the Toshiba Technical Support Center

also the USB port OK, practically you can connect any USB appliance, like a Mouse, keyboard, USB flash memry, printer, modem, network card, USB Hub etc..
I own a USB flash memory, and it is really usefull to share documents with any PC with out Active Sync, using this USB Storage Flash Memory.

I give 4 stara instead of 5 because it really consume battery life and finding drivers for the USB appliance is dificult, I have not jet found a good Mouse Driver.

but I really like my expansion pack
the best part is that I bouth this Item in my vacation in Spain, and the price tag was mistake and was only €20

The expansion pack adds USB and VGA out to the e740 Pocket PC. Perfect for presentations, and is small enough that it won't get in the way. Hook up a monitor and a mouse and you have a full scale PC ! Great addition to an already usefull tool.

This has to be the coolest add on for my Toshiba e755 Pocket PC.

I wanted this Expansion Pack when I first heard about it, but didn't want to shell out a hundred bucks for it. When I saw CircuitCity was selling it on there site for thirteen dollars I couldn't resist ordering it.

Problems: The first time I used it I had a problem that I didn't have enough free system memory. A hard reboot and installing all programs that didn't need to be installed to main memory to compact flash card fixed the problem.
I don't like having to remove my Pocket PC from my Belkin case in fear of dropping my Pocket PC, but I was able to resolve my problem by modifying my case. I guess it's better to remove it, since my Pocket PC gets a little hot when using it.

Pro's: It's does what it says. I've tried it with a monitor and projector with full success.

Output
640x480x64k @60Hz
or
800x600x64k @60Hz

Plus you have the capability of mirroring your Pocket PC display onto a projector or monitor. You have several options for output display. Upright (This doesn't take up whole display) or rotated to one side to fit whole display.

I would recommend you try a better Power Point program than the free one from Toshiba. Go visit Handango and search for "Power Point". I like Pocket Slides. Expensive, but you can do more than any other program out there. Try the trial before you buy.

All in all I'm very satisfied with my Toshiba Expansion Pack.

I have been using the expansion pack for several years now. It works exactly as advertised. I have been able to use a USB keyboard and also a mouse using free drivers I found on the internet. You can buy this product much cheaper at www.toshibadirect.com. It is currently selling for $49.00
