Re: Anyone heard of this Windows XP phone?
 

Yep. Its been mentioned here.

Despite everything I consider it vaporware until it comes out.

And sure you have full apps but there is a market for mobile software ala Android and iphone.

Re: Anyone heard of this Windows XP phone?
 

Oh lol, yeah I agree. I'm getting fed up with things being announced and then fading into the abyss.. Like the wibrain umpc haha, had the money put aside and gave up waiting X)

Re: Anyone heard of this Windows XP phone?
 

And what's that with the penguin with scarfs there? Does it support GNU/Linux?

Re: Anyone heard of this Windows XP phone?
 

Yeah, I've seen it. I'd rather buy a Viliv N5 or something like that.

Re: Anyone heard of this Windows XP phone?
 

Yeah, I have the 32gb Flash 3G S5 and you can use it as a pocket phone, call and text etc. You can swap batteries to make it through a day.

N5 wouldn't really work as well as its clamshell.

Re: Anyone heard of this Windows XP phone?
 

Yeah, I guess. A N5 in tablet form would be perfect. Like a Kohjinsha SX3 but in a smaller form factor(and obviously updated hardware). That XPPhone looks almost like the N900, except with a bigger screen(and obvious hardware differences).

EDIT: The Viliv S7 looks nice :)

Re: Anyone heard of this Windows XP phone?
 

Its too big for any pockets! Too much frame/bezel. I did like it though - its a thin convertible. It has 10 hour battery life or something crazy!

I had the OQO before this and I have to say it was looking like my perfect device would come a lot sooner at the time.

The Samsung QU1P is thumboard, 8 hr battery I hear, 7" and can be modded to be a phone. But its too heavy, expensive and barely pocketable.

Re: Anyone heard of this Windows XP phone?
 

I'd carry it in a bag any way, my pockets are already pretty much used up. Hopefully the Viliv N5 will be out soon, too bad it's screen doesn't swivel as you already pointed out. Also I don't get why no-one seems to put in backlightning in the keyboard, that would make them even more usable.

EDIT: Or I guess I can get myself a cheap EEE PC 701 and mod it - sure it won't be pocketable but considering you can get used ones cheap I don't really care...

Wish the would have made a EEE PC 501 :p

Re: Anyone heard of this Windows XP phone?
 

I want it becase I can use it as a phone, show it off, and actually get some work done while i'm out. Runs DOS/Windows7 so i'm assuming it can run any x86 os =) x86 MeeGo???

Re: Anyone heard of this Windows XP phone?
 

Now this triple booting OS X + WIN 7+ Android(if you wanted) UMPC/Phone was the Beast from the East:

It probably still rules if money is no matter!

Re: Anyone heard of this Windows XP phone?
 

The EEE 900 looked nice but had awful battery life. I sold it.

I hear the Dell mini is the way forward for dual boot and modding!

Re: Anyone heard of this Windows XP phone?
 

Yes, I am sure! Not Mac OS X.

ToJa,

3G versions of this, the GIGABYTE M528, are already out and JKK mobile has used it to make calls but it doesn't really work well at 2 hr battery spans.

But it has electronic backlight keyboard on the plus side!

Re: Anyone heard of this Windows XP phone?
 

Money is a matter, but that looks completely awesome.

Dell mini looks nice but I'd rather want a device with a maximum screen size of 7".

Re: Anyone heard of this Windows XP phone?
 

I didn't even get to the specs, but the website had me laughing right away. Not only is having a portable computer with a phone and GPS in it purported to be something special, but in fact it's "The World's First Breakthrough!". I think that whoever figured out how to start a fire might beg to differ on that point. :P
Also, remember, kids - without an F5 or F10 key, your stock trading plans are doomed to failure!

That said, it does look like a neat bit of hardware, and I wouldn't mind playing around with one if I got the chance.

Re: Anyone heard of this Windows XP phone?
 

Ahh got ya lol, from the first page:

"Even Smartphone can only support stock software from 4-5 securities companies, the function of F5 and F10 can not be used and many indexes can not be viewed, resulting in my stock loss!
With xpPhone, you can do it!"

EDIT: That is very bad translation lol

Re: Anyone heard of this Windows XP phone?
 

hahahaha, its always electronic product translations that are the funniest.

Re: Anyone heard of this Windows XP phone?
 

Yep, have to agree on that front. My solar charger states: "Not waterproof do not let it wet on device" lol

EDIT: XPPhone made it to Computex =]

Another one by JKK, he claims to have seen someone walking around talking on one too!
