There are also refurbished Casio E-100s and E-105s for sale on Casio's website for only $200 and $300 respectively. IMHO, a good deal, esp if you are on a budget.

I few silly developers are starting to only offer CE3.0 versions of their apps, but I hope they'll come to their senses and continue to support CE2.11 once they realise a whole new crop of E-10X owners are comming along (those buying up all the refurbished units) who will be clamouring for apps.
