Computex - never heard of this show. Anyone attend have any scoops for us? I think we need a correspondent someplace in the far east...
"Taiwanese electronics makers are highlighting their push into the handheld device market with a raft of new PDAs (personal digital assistants) and Pocket PCs at the Computex Taipei. Acer launched its first Pocket PC, the Acer n20, powered by Intel�s PXA250 microprocessor and equipped with a 3.8-inch active-matrix TFT LCD screen. The device, weighing only 180 grams and measuring 12.9mm thick, has a rechargeable battery for six to eight hours� use. It also has a built-in Memory Stick slot.
Acer�s in-house team designed the n20�s case while notebook contract maker Compal Electronics handled the whole-body design and manufactures the device. The newer n20w version, which features built-in wireless Wi-Fi networking, a longer battery life of 12-15 hours (without using Wi-Fi) and other advanced functions, is scheduled to hit the market in August. Acer said it expects to ship 200,000 PDAs this year." Source: Chris Coulter
