Asus XScale Pocket PC prototype
http://www.watch.impress.co.jp/pc/docs/2002/0212/intel.htm
In the previous thread, some commented on the need for new blood among the Pocket PC OEMs, and many requested more spectacular design. On a Japanese site covering the introduction of the Intel XScale processors, several pictures of a new Pocket PC were shown.
According to a babelfish translation of the site, this device ran Metalion to demonstrate the XScale possibilities for the Pocket PC. I think the design looks great, but don't get your hopes up too high: "The PDA which was used with demonstration was the prototype by the ASUS. Commercialization is undecided." And if it does come out, there remains a question: plasticalion or metalion?

Wow, now that is cool looking. I agree with Foo Fighter, very much like the Clie.

Asus is the OEM for NEC on the MobilePro P300. Even if it doesn't come out as an Asus branded PDA maybe it will still see life as NEC's followup to the P300.
The NEC P300 is my favorite design of all the PPC 2002 machines but seems destined for a short life span with only 32MB RAM and the manufacturing delays. :?

Aaagh and Wow
Nice form factor, but aagh... look at the d-pad and the tiny speaker buried within. But then this is a prototype...

Looks very nice, but it looks like it only has a SD/MMC slot, no CF, but I guess if you really want a small Pocket PC then taking the CF slot out is the way to cut down on the extra size.

Why would this not be productized? Something better? It already looks to be a step above of what is available now.
