More Cool Phone Layouts Coming...
Yesterday, I posted on the potential near-term availability of a Pocket PC Phone with an overlay flip keypad, much like SE's P900. Here's another interesting idea: a PDA phone with a "sliding" keypad.
It's not Pocket PC, but rather just Windows CE. However, the formfactor would work for a PPCPE. It's cdma2000 1xEV-DO, has a 400MHz XScale, CE .NET 4.2, integrated camera, and 128MB of RAM. This unit, dubbed the Mycube, is slated to sell in Korea.

While cool looking I would be constantly worried about damaging the keyboard while it's suspended like that.

Kinda looks like the i700, but with the slider on top...

Is this a 3G phone? It certainly seems aimed to the American market (cdma and wifi).
Also, it now seems there is a flood of PPCPE phones (more than smartphones), with cool design (much more innovation than normal pocketpc's). It looks like there is a lot of manufacturers who see PPC's as a viable base os (certainly more than palm, and maybe a greater number of companies than symbian).
Of course in a few years you wont find any PPC without some kind of WAN connectivity (same as you dont find a computer without a modem). Its just inevitable.
Very interesting.

Definitely 3G, but Korean market -- they're ahead of us in CDMA. CDMA's two big markets are North America and Southeast Asia.

kind of has something of that sonyericsson prototype i once saw.
that slider keyboard looks interesting. i think it is more resistant than a flip-style-keyboard.
i'm excited to see so many new form factors and features showing up on the market.

Yeah but probably without Bluetooth.

Ok, I agree on the bluetooth (whether main-stream yet or not, it should be there!). Regardless.... There's hope! Its a decent looking CDMA device that has a hope to run PocketPC! And 128MB!
I am no longer a total disbeliever... someday I may own a PPCPE. I may have to move to Korea to use it though... :roll:

Perhaps you mean North America and East Asia (Korea+Japan) ?
In southeast asian countries like singapore, indonesia, thailand, philippines, vietnam, etc. CDMA is just starting with miniscule marketshare.

Well, Australia and NZ have a pretty large CDMA footprint too. I don't know how to describe the overall geographic area. :razzing:
