O2 Asia Introduces the XDA II Mini
"O2 Asia, the Asian mmO2 subsidiary recently released its latest Windows Mobile product, the Xda IImini (also known as HTC Magician or i-mate JAM). As of today, the HTC Magician is the smallest and lightest Pocket PC Phone Edition but running Microsoft's latest Windows Mobile 2003SE as well as it includes triple-band GSM/GPRS and Bluetooth (while W-LAN isn't supported yet). In addition it features the latest Intel Intel PXA 272 Bulverde CPU with 416MHz."
Arne at PPCW.Net has just reported that the HTC Magician or i-mate JAM, which we have posted on over the last few weeks, has been introduced as the O2 XDA II Mini in the Asia-Pacific region. He states that it should be available soon and a price has yet to be determined, although I looked at a recent Harvey Norman catalogue in the past week, and it is actually already on sale here in Australia for A$1199. So out of the three brandings of this device, which one do you like? More information on the XDA II Mini can also be found here.

 They are selling these on Expansys for �399.00 under the I-mate section. Can't wait . small form factor , no bigger than a Nokia 6630 really !!!!! 8O 8O
The evolution begins !!! I can see the next couple of years to be a very exciting time in new PDA/Phone manufacture . :wink:

This is one SLICK device 8O
It's just 1.5cm wider and .5cm longer than my Sony Ericsson t610 8O
It would be my next phone device if was the same price as the SP3i...
The screens is too small, no built in WiFi and not enough RAM for my needs. So this device won't replace my iPAQ 5550.
I'm sooo tempted though.... I may be able to live with a screen that's about 1" smaller than my iPAQ and I could get an SDIO WiFi adapter.. I don't use WiFi THAT much... But I absolutely NEED the 128MB of RAM I have now. No getting around that for now.
Excellent try :clap: Please don't tease me like that :wink:

Re: O2 Asia Introduces the XDA II Mini
You can get them from www.novicom.com now. Its a T-Mobile version in German. The guys at CompactJam.com has already managed to flash it to English and Novicom will be honouring the warranties of flashed units. 2 year warranty. I have an order on Expansys too they would be getting some units in on Friday (or so they say).

there is no reason why copilot wouldn't be compatible with the Jam/Compact if it works on Windows Mobile 2003 SE. I had TomTom v1.5 working on it and that is more than 2 versions old.
