Default Care For A REALLY Big Phone?

http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/20/...or-being-tubby/

No, I'm not talking about the Touch HD2. C-motech, a Korean company, showed off a prototype of a 7" tablet running WM6.5 on the same Snapdragon platform. Details are sparse, but it supposedly has every wireless option known to man (bar CDMA), 2 USB slots, and a WVGA resistive touch screen. I'd expect pretty long battery life even driving that big screen, but try fitting this baby into your pocket! Manbag, anyone? Admittedly, this is more a candidate for the netbook/UMPC space, which makes the inclusion of cellular capability a plus point, but I think there are better alternative device strategies for the kind of usage scenarios this is meant to fill - especially if you're replacing your phone in the bargain. It is possible to take convergence a little too far.

The most interesting thing is the OS that appears to be WM 6.5.1 or whatever it will be called.
Note the big soft buttons on the bottom of the screen.

Default You know...

I don't really have a problem with this, since I use my BT headset for nearly all conversations. Keep that bad boy in your jacket/purse/man-purse until you really need to look up or enter data.

Give me the same thing in a very thin form-factor, throw in 1024X768 or better resolution, and run a stripped-down version of Vista with an instant-on capability. Oh, yeah, multi-touch, too! And at least 128GB flash drive.

And there you have it... the Star Trek PADD!

Where do I get one?
