P900 Killer Coming from Asus?
Nghia from PDA France sent me an interesting Powerpoint presentation last night. It was interesting because it had a new Pocket PC I hadn't seen before. Dubbed the A8100, this Pocket PC Phone Edition device has built-in Bluetooth, a camera, and is smaller than a Sony Ericcson P900 - which I presume means a smaller screen (perhaps 2.8"?). Here's an image of the device:
[click the image above for a larger version]
Unfortunately, the A8100 they were showing at the event was non-functional, and no specs are known on this device. And speaking this "event", it looks most of us missed one heck of a party - did anyone here attend?

There is something about that metal plating on the front (most likely plastic) that makes that phone look sharp... literally sharp... almost like some of Chef Tony's blades that just don't cut as well after massive vegetable slaughter (Check out http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/foru...ight=chef+tony for clarification.)

I don't mind the smaller screen, this would be a nice device, I was using the I500 for a week and I did not have and issue with the screen size. I really like this form factor.

Looks pretty nice and I'd love to test one of these.
However, I hope that this phone makes it to the shelves FAST because with 3G's coming next year (in Greece) I don't think that there will be big interest in a device like this. :worried:

bluetooth
Hopefully they will think to include bluetooth headset support with it. I still think that is the killer combination that the current PPCPE's don't have.

Unless my eyes decieve me there is a Bluetooth Icon below one of the LED lights in the top left of this device. :mrgreen:

While reading the post, it reminds me the iPAQ6000 series. So far, is there any more updated news on iPAQ6000?
