Default Compulab Exeda: Dual OS Monster

http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/13/...winmo-handheld/

"Ostensibly designed for the enterprise market, the squared-off handheld features a 3.5-inch sun-readable VGA touchscreen, QWERTY keyboard, and a capacitive touchpad that acts as a mouse. Like other recent Asian Android handsets we've seen, the exeda can also boot Windows Mobile 6.1 on its 520MHz Marvell CPU and 128MB of RAM, and the radio setup is similarly flexible -- resellers can pick from quadband GSM / GPRS, CDMA, and 3G UMTS. Craziest of all? The exeda has a 10/100Base-T Ethernet port in addition to WiFi."

 

In more ways than one, the Exeda is a monster - not only can it handle two different OS, but that's a 3.5" VGA landscape screen you're looking at. For sheer size, this thing can give the HTC Advantage a run for its money, and it's certainly not something you'd want to try putting to your ear. The way the buttons and keyboard are laid out, it's obviously built for two-hand use, and on that score the Exeda looks workable. We're unlikely to see this except in vertical markets - anybody want one as a consumer device?

I didn't see physical dimensions listed, but the Advantage has a 5" screen, so I assume it's larger than this. The iPhone has a 3.5" screen, too, and people hold that to their ears (although this looks like a landscape screen, while the iPhone's is portrait, so that could make a difference).
