E-TEN's Product Roadmap
The folks at Pocket PC Dubai recently had the opportunity to attend a regional E-TEN press conference where one of the hot topics discussed was the E-TEN product roadmap. While no names or exact device specifications were revealed, the following was hinted at:
� An 18mm (H) all-in-one device featuring Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, 3G, and a slide-out keyboard.
� A device supporting push e-mail (although, considering the availability of the MSFP in the market, I'm guessing almost all of E-TEN's upcoming devices should feature push-email support).
� A device with an on-board TV tuner.
We can expect the first of the new devices to be released in June.

That's it? I guess I set the bar too high for them after that fabulous m600.

I wonder if the keyboard in the second picture is the new one from ThinkOutside - a Bluetooth keyboard with five ( 8O !) rows.

I think the all-in-one device will be interesting. It'll be thinner than the M600 and also packed with better specs. Plus, the keyboard will be a nice touch. I just hope the device retains the SD card slot.

The Shasta? I doubt it. The Pocket PC isn't even compatible with it.
Instead, I think it's the Freedom Keyboard. The picture even shows that big gap to the left of the keys - a characteristic feature of the Freedom.

Actually, I was thinking about the Sierra. Its manual is listed as "Error! Not for public release" on this publicly-accessible page.
