OKWAP has added touch screen support to Windows Mobile Smartphone OS. The K728 is a slider style phone that measures 93.5mm x 46mm x 24.5mm and weights in at 107.8g. Inside that small footprint is a Samsung 400MHz CPU (S3C2442A), 64MB RAM, 128MB ROM, Bluetooth 2.0, A2DP support, miniSD slot, a 2.0 Megapixel camera, and a tiny 176x220 touch screen. The phone is listed as a Tri-Band device, which means I don't think there's much chance of seeing on on this side of the pond anytime soon. Regardless, it's an interesting addition by OKWAP. I 'm excited to see what else they can do. In case you think the above picture is really a Pocket PC, you can find more pictures <a href="http://www.phonedaily.com/news/?news_id=4424">here</a> and be sure to pay close attention to the screens. The K868 is a Pocket PC, but the K728 is a Smartphone - no question.

The K868 is a Pocket PC, but the K728 is a Smartphone - no question. Ah, crap. Don't we have enough trouble explaing the difference without someone building a touchscreen Smartphone? Bad enough Palm has to call their PPCPE a SP.

I can run the SP version of Mapopolis on my K-Jam and I get an interesting assortment of stylus support and button navigation. Wonder if you could load the PPC version on the K728 and drag to pan or tap and hold.

It's a good looking device too. We will just call them all SmartThings. Ends all the confusion. :lol:
