And luckily for us, our partners-in-crime over at Engadget Chinese have just captured some nice photos of this two-processor machine as part of their extensive Computex 2006 coverage..."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/web/2003/ekkie_engadget_dualcor_200606.jpg" /><br /><br />Like Engadget, our excitement and anticipation also died on cPC once Darius made its <a href="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=48660">wireless deficiencies</a> known to us. In any case, perhaps this device will serve as a stepping stone for someone else to truly deliver a convergent, wirelessly-enabled, PC / WM5 device. Take a look if you're interested in the snapshots, and if you can read Chinese, check out the original <a href="http://chinese.engadget.com/2006/06/09/engadget-computex-2006-at-tapiei-via/">Engadget Chinese post</a>, complete with a larger set of photos from the Computex 2006 Trade Show.

And probably the only Tablet PC or WM 5 device on the market without any type of integrated wireless. I'm still completely baffled by this.

Every Tablet PC comes standard with at least Wi-Fi connectivity built-in. I'm baffled by this, as well. What good is a mobile device today without standard integrated wireless connectivity?

What would be great to see in the near future is a DualCor with phone functionality--of course this would be a long, long time away before we see something like that!

When can we expect to wifi and BT to be truly intergrated...ie Not cf or usb add-ons :cry:
