Fujitsu Siemens Pocket LOOX Available for Pre-Order
http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=FSLOOX
We received an email from Jeremiah Owen saying that the LOOX was now available for pre-order from European company Expansys. In typical Expansys fashion, not even a price. I'd say to wait until more is known.
I'll have my own opinions of the LOOX and some photos up in the next few days, but the quick summary is this: potentially killer device, but the beta units I saw were not as exciting from a performance standpoint as I had hoped. Until I'm holding a production unit, however, it's impossible to make any firm judgments.

So here's the question of the day. Is this device pronounced like LOOKS or LUKES? Just wondering....

Ah, but when you say "LOOX" with a German accent, it sounds like "LUKES". :wink:

I have to disagree. The Siemens people pronounced it Lukes (with a long u).

It will be a while for the US release - I'm guessing, but probably 6 months or so.

Well, it certainly kicks butt. I will wait for the other devices though, since the LOOX wont have Flash ROM.
