Since then, further details have surfaced and the BM-200 still remains a Korea-only device. Of course, don't let that stop you drooling. The BM-200 is blessed with an Intel PXA270 520MHz CPU, 64MB RAM, 128MB ROM (with support for up to 512MB ROM), CDMA support, a 2.0MP camera, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, IrDA, an SDIO slot, a 2.8" 260K QVGA (240 x 320) colour screen, and Windows CE 5.0. Look, but don't touch. ;)

Loving the look of it.

It's CDMA only, though. Makes no mention of EV-DO or 1xRTT either. Not like you can pop this on Verizon Wireless or Sprint's network without either one of them bitching about it.

Very iPOD'sh. Nice. But I'd still get the E-TEN M600, which you CAN buy soon.

This might as as close (looking) to an iPod thats not an iPod phone ever. Apple must be sort of pissed but with a smirk on their faces.. since they influence everything that is functional in technology, whether its an mp3 player, to PC design to smartphones. Hahahaha..I dont own anything apple, so dont bother me.
