Default VGA Lovers Rejoice: The Successor to the Universal is Coming!

http://www.modaco.com/index.php?showtopic=245564

"After the slew of recent device announcements... HTC is now busily prepping the follow up to it's 'mini-laptop' form factor HTC Universal, better know as the SPV M5000, i-mate JASJAR, T-Mobile MDA Pro, O2 XDA Exec, etc. The follow up to the Universal, codenamed the 'HTC Omni', is set to offer a similar design, VGA support once again, and boosted connectivity with HSDPA support."

One of the things that's stopping me from getting a WM5.0 device is the lack of choices for VGA devices - it's the Universal (too big), the Sharp Wilcomm (Japanese), or the Sharp Zaurus (not even WM5.0). There's always the Dell x51v but it doesn't offer much of an upgrade over my present PDA. Now another potential contender is on the way from HTC themselves - a replacement for the Universal that offers just enough extras to get me excited again. Featuring a processor from Samsung, more hardware buttons, HSDPA, a size smaller than the Universal, and potentially VGA out, the Omni is due to be delivered in late '06/early '07. Here's wishing it has an SDIO slot too. :wink:
