XDA II News

[Janak Parekh]

Looks like T-Mobile Germany won't be the only company selling the <a href="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=17340">new XDA</a>; <a href="http://www.infosyncworld.com/news/n/4066.html">InfoSync reports</a> that mmO2 has announced their intention to sell the device as well -- this would mean availability in a number of countries in Europe and Asia. (Still no news about North America :cry:)<br /><br />Also, if you're curious, Arne has put up some fantastic pictures of the XDA II on PPCW. <a href="http://www.ppcw.net/index.php?itemid=1507">Check it out!</a>

mmO2 had a press conference in July saying they would have the XDA II in the UK, Germany and Ireland before Christmas 2003 (http://www.mmo2.com/docs/media/pr_030701e.html) - yay :).


If any developers are going to be in London around September 26 Source O2 (UK) are holding their annual Applications Developers Forum (http://www.sourceo2.com/Events/2003_Annual_Event/default.htm) with an afternoon session dedicated to introducing the XDA II, and many other interesting sessions. (Note:You need to be registered with Source O2 before you can register for the event).

Nice looking device. Is that a camera on the back ? the round thing above the battery cover ?
