A Phone Running Windows XP and Smartphone
"As posted at CNET, a company called DualCor will be at CES this year showing off a device with a 1.5GHz Via processor, along with an Intel PXA processor and 40GB hard drive, that will supposedly run Windows Mobile for Smartphone AND Windows XP. With such a configuration, the device will run for three hours running XP, and 8-12 hours running as a Smartphone (no charge-free �long weekends� here). Apparently, you�ll be able to decide whether to run a given application in x86 or Smartphone mode, and can set this function to occur automatically."
No mention of size here. So far things like this (OQO) haven't done very well. Battery life being mentioned as one of the reasons. It couldn't be bigger than a PDA and still be a usable phone though. Now would this be like a dual boot device? Not very convenient when you have to switch between the two.
