Samsung Low-Cost Concept Pocket PC Design
A picture is worth a thousand words, so here are the first images I've seen of the new Samsung concept design. At only 2.9 ounces, this is the lightest Pocket PC I've heard of. I've requested further information on this device, but in the meantime, enoy the pictures!

I don't think this level of device is for game playing. It seems to target the students and low-end customers who wants to use a decent PDA for day-to-day dunctions with a low price they can afford. How's it different from Dell's low-end price point? All I can tell is this bunch of device is designed to sell in "huge" quantity and essentially intended to kill out low-end palm devices, which in turn may lead Pocket PC devices into PDA monopoly ...

Voice commands in such a device? You've got to be kidding. Though no directional pad is in sight, the picture showing the back of the device makes me wonder ...

Cool, I was actually wondering when Samsung would get into the PocketPC market. This may be a good start but hopefully some higher end models will debut.

I can only see this device succeding if it's significantly cheaper than the Dell and Viewsonic Pocket PCs. Greyscale and no D-pad? $99 max.

Suicide if you ask me, especially if it's not compatible with most colour apps.
However if it's less than $100, it CAN'T be bad.
