Casio Releasing New Pocket PC In Japan?
Casio hasn't given up on Pocket PCs entirely.  They've announced a new unit in Japan -- the DT-10 M50S, with a 3.7" VGA screen, BT and WiFi (on the M50S, as opposed to the BT-only M50), 416MHz XScale CPU, 128MB RAM/64MB ROM, SD and CF slots, and it measures 5.5"x3.1"x.98" and weighs 10.5oz.
Given those dimensions, it's admittedly a brick. No news on whether it'll be released in North America, or anywhere else for that matter.

That may not be the worst looking PPC I've ever seen but it's close. :roll:

The DT series are supposed to be their new line of industrial PPC's. I must admit, even how much I love Casio, that thing does looks like a brick. However, I love the new design on their dpad :-)

Whats the deal with that humungous bezel? if that's a 3.7 inch screen then that thing is giant overall.
Industrial? Rubber bumpers maybe?

Is Casio out of their collective minds? What is this? Retro PPC?
After the e200 debacle I would hope that Casio would have hung it up permanently in the PPC business.

Yeah, so good in fact that it had to be pulled from the market because I and hundreds of others couldn't get one that worked! :roll:

Huh. I can�t totally condemn it because I really like the face of the thing. It has a really clean look to it. Almost Mac-like. But, as others have noted, what is with the size of the bezel around the screen?!? Its insanely large. I�m potentially seeing two speakers there. It could explain the size of the device which would lead to the inevitable question: WHY?!?!
Beyond that .98� 8O That has to be a freaking typo. What the bloody heck do they have in that thing? Dual X-Scale CPU�s backed by a car battery!?!
