Real-Life Pictures and Demonstration of the DualCor cPC

[Darius Wey]

Following on from last week's CES report on the DualCor cPC, here are some real-life pictures, thoughts (thanks to Mauricio from Geekzone), and a video demonstration (.MOV) (from dlmag.com) of the device. There are some nice aspects of the cPC that are worth noting:

• Shared folder: The cPC includes a shared folder that allows you to share files across both operating systems (Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005 and Windows Mobile 5.0).
• Instant switching: The system tray of Windows XP and the Today screen of Windows Mobile include plug-ins that permit instant switching between the two operating systems.
• Wireless connectivity: Both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are included. Some 3G options will be included in future models.
• Resolution: The cPC runs at 800 x 480 on a 5" 262K-colour touch screen LCD. Both Windows XP and Windows Mobile run at the specified resolution.
• External keyboard: A DualCor-branded external Bluetooth keyboard is currently in the making and will be compatible with the cPC.



It will be released in March at $1500. Are any of you interested in purchasing one?

Oh My Gosh!

I want one.....

say what you want... This is where it's at..

I'm certainly interested in checking it out! And I'm still very curious about how they handle the synchronization between the two OSs.

I find this very interesting and almost tempting, but I think the XP end looks too small. What I wish is to have a Tablet that works the PIM functionality as easilily as a PDA. Maybe there is a software solution.

I'm requesting a pre-order and/or beta testing of the unit.

I've been requesting one for a few weeks now.

Yes, I am VERY interested. I think it might compare favorably to my OQO, though it is a bit bigger. A couple of concerns that hopefully are worked out - how is data synchronized between the Pocket and Desktop apps, in particular Outlook - and is the phone accessible when using XP? It sounds like they have backed off on the 3G for the initial release, but it would still be nice to use GPRS/EDGE/1XRTT or something to surf in XP without having to connect to another device.

This thing would surely be a hit. I know myraid of people who dont like Windows Mobile. This will surely help them to come close to it and explore it.

For a programming student like me, it would be a great idea to make apps using Visual basic and Visual C++ on the go. This is something I've always dreamt of doing on windows mobile. Sadly there is no software that lets you do this

Let it come and I'll buy it(but after a year or two because the prices are too high)

edit: one design glitch..no soft key buttons

I too want to know this. As soon as I come to know anything about sync and stuff, I'd let you know
