All Five i-mate Ultimate Devices Revealed
Clockwise from top-left: i-mate Ultimate 5150, 6150, 7150, 9150, and 8150
If you've been following the news, you'll know that i-mate has promised five Ultimate devices for the mid-year. The 5150 was revealed earlier today and now the covers have been lifted off the other four. Of course, you already know that each of these babies sports an Intel Bulverde 520MHz processor, 128MB RAM, 256MB ROM, quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE and tri-band UMTS/HSDPA connectivity, 802.11b/g/e/i Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR, a 262K-colour VGA display, Mini-USB (v2.0 specification), a video-out port supporting 1024 x 768, a 2.0-megapixel camera, an FM radio, a microSD slot, and Windows Mobile 6; the only thing separating them is design. Which of the five appeal to you? For what it's worth, we're digging the 7150 and 9150.

I like the 7150, and 8150 but i'd like to know more on the hinge on the 7150; like if it can hide the keyboard when open or swivel and such like the swivel on the universal always appealed to me. 5150, also interests me but I'm not sure my thoughts on it with that much open space. Wonder what the difference in size between the 5150 and the 6150. I kinda like someone going back to the old style of pda's.

I'm with Sven, the 7150 appears pretty attractive, especially with a decent price point (read: cheaper than Athena).

I like the design and the color, and the specs are good - the only thing I miss is gps (could be a deal-breaker for me...)

The question here is how big are these devices, for instance what is the size of the 8150, especially the screen?
And why there is only one with querty keyboard?

Anyone any idea who is the manufacturer of the I-Mate ultimate series.
Secondly the one with laptop like look does it have an external display for looking at the caller ID without the need to open the cover.
Thanks and Regards

Am I the only one that thinks every single one of those devices are HIDEOUS looking ? Sure they have nice specs, but those things are just ugly!
