Audiovox Thera
http://www2.pdabuzz.com/Forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=33387
PDA Buzz.com is covering a new PocketPC/CDMA phone combination from Audiovox that just received FCC approval.
It looks like it is unrelated to the Toshiba X-Scale Pocket PC that was also announced to day; rather, it looks like they just replaced the CF slot in the Maestro with a CDMA radio/modem, added the necessary antenna, and made it a little bit bigger to accommodate the radio.

I think naming a Pocket PC after an historic island that was consumed by a volcano eruption that disrupted both Mediterranean and Mesopotamian cultures around 1450 BC would be extremely bad luck. Oops, my geek is showing.
Cheers,

I don't see these things taking off anytime soon. Really, would anyone want to hold this brick to their head and speak into it? I sure as hell wouldn't. Bet it won't be cheap either. I'm thinking $699.

What would sell me on this type of thing is having built-in wireless ethernet instead of CDMA. Then I'd be first in line.

So how do I become a reviewer/writer/Pocket PC super guy like you Jason? I'd love to write about/review stuff, but I have no talents at website authoring or administration. Guess I need to find a buddy who does!

If you write articles and reviews, other sites will be happy to post them for you. Various opinions on things are usually really appriciated and hard to find.
