And it's in Korea that we have found this very interesting iMATE JAM (S100) clone or killer that works on CDMA waves (so no GSM) and that will be available shortly in Korea. For those that had a look at the picture already: YES, it looks like an iPOD."</i><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/web/2003/Kiler.jpg" /> <br /><br />There are no further details about this device at the moment, as the one pictured is a prototype. Aakihabara News speculate that this could well be a Smartphone running on CE, as BlueBirdSoft who were displaying it have worked with WinCE devices in the past. So does the form factor look good to you, or is it a little too close to comfort to.... you-know-who? ;-)

Unless that thing comes with a 20GB hard drive and is an Ipod killer, its much too large to be an imate killer.

So they copied the shape and not the size? Talk about missing the point... :roll:

No D-pad??
Wow! It's 1999 all over again!
HP Jornada 430 anyone? :lol:

the device looks very ugly, and the absence of d-pad is not good
