ITG’s Windows XP-loving xpPhone now accepting pre-orders worldwide
Posted on September 17, 2009 | No CommentsIt's been awhile since we last saw the xpPhone, a quick, quiet demonstration at Computex that left us doubting whether the thing would ever see the light of day outside a packed showroom floor. It seems our doubts are about to be put to rest as ITG, creator of the thing, has thrown up a pre-order page on the phone's website. There's no mention of a price, and indeed you won't be asked to plunk down any cash right now (it's not much of a pre-order), but what's interesting is that it asks you to choose between 3G modules for Vodafone, Orange, or AT&T. That means ITG seemingly has aspirations of a global release for this thing, and while we're not sure how many people are going to want to lug around a MID-sized monster celly with a "super big" 4.8-inch LCD and a weight of nearly a pound, but surely some nation in the world has pockets big enough for this.

MP navi’s 4.3-inch touchscreen PMP slips through the crack
Posted on September 17, 2009 | No CommentsSouth Korea has a long history of pushing out wicked cool PMP / navigation / do-it-all devices, but MP navi's first effort definitely aims low. Boasting a 4.3-inch touchscreen, an ultrathin chassis and support for more formats than you'd care to count, there's not much here that sets it apart from the competition. Of course, just looking good goes a long way, so if you're interested in saving this one from imminent obscurity, you'll need to hop a flight to Seoul (mind that DMZ, though) and cough up ₩139,000 ($114).

Nokia to use Windows, not Linux on Booklet 3G
Posted on August 24, 2009 | No CommentsEditorial:I have to say it’s a pity that Nokia has chosen Windows, instead of Linux based Android for its Booklet 3G. Most likely the performance and responsiveness of the device will suffer. Just days after confirming plans to enter the netbook market, Nokia released additional details...
