The Pocket LOOX N560: Too Good to be True?
"The Pocket Loox N560: 256 MB ROM/64 MB RAM; 624 Mhz processor; VGA; GPS; BT and 802.11g WiFi; USB Host; 2700g GPU/VGA out; February 2006 release date. These details are entirely unofficial and unconfirmed (obviously we asked - but no company is going to confirm a leak...!) and so must be counted as rumour only. The source, the appropriately self-entitled FSC Mole, does appear to be a genuine FSC employee (from information received)."
Nothing official yet, but if these rumours turn out to be true, then you better start dusting off that drool bucket. The N560 is everything but the kitchen sink (more RAM would have been nice). Axim X51v - watch out!

This has all the things X51V missed.
This has better screen; offers USB host capability and in-built GPS.
Atta boy Fujitsu !!  
Very nice specs indeed

Cool - it seems it was worth the waiting and not getting the x51v

*Sigh* there goes my credit card limit. :mrgreen: It sounds like everything I'd been hoping for, bar the CF slot, but I suppose you can't have everything.

The x51V has VGA screen as well, how is this units better?
One big question for this device (if real), what type of battery performance?

Well I will just have to join the chorus - although in my case I think this will probaby be my next PDA but one!
I am in the process (hopefully )of getting an Asus a730w (second hand and at a good price of course) which should calm my VGA desires for a while.
But...

Quite frankly, the Dell's screen (both x50v and x51v) is the absolute worse among VGA devices. It's not bad per se, but the color saturation is really poor compared to the PL720 or the hx4700 - it's barely tolerable for picture viewing. Plus this new device (if real) will have USB host (which is a killer feature) and integrated GPS (another killer feature). Plus the new N series devices that have already been released, despite having WM5.0, appear to have really good benchmarks - which makes this (if real :devilboy: ) the absolute king of the hill. FSC is supposedly got something even better up their sleeve - though I can barely imagine anything topping this! About the only thing not mentioned is the possible lack of a CF slot - but I can live with that, considering GPS is built in.

Me too! Chances are the Acer n311 will be out first but hoepfully by then more details will be available about the N560 such as battery life etc. so I can make a more informed decision.
I had already heard about a new Pocket PC on the way with a 2700G and further contact led me to believe it would be a LOOX so this 'leak' only confirms it for me.
