i-mate Announces the Ultimate 9502
Here we have the Ultimate 9502 - the second of two new devices announced by i-mate today. It packs much of the same specs as the 8502, except it has the added benefit of a 2.8" 262K-colour VGA touch screen, a 3.0-megapixel camera, a secondary VGA camera for video telephony, and a sliding mechanism similar to the Sidekick. Anyone interested in this device?

Their spec sheet makes no mention of any sort of graphics chip (AMD or nVidia). Makes me wonder how they're going to manage to push pixels on a VGA screen. I knew this was to good to be true

Even with my fetish for large screens this one looks good with its 2.8 inch screen. I wonder why they went with the 2.5mm audio jack though, is this headphone jack size gaining popularity?
This device has massive audio and video codec support
� Supports: AAC, AAC+, MP3, Midi, AMR, ASF,
WMA� Supports H.263, H.264, MPEG4, WMV�
Any idea which media players are running what?
This could be the Sidekick for adults! 8)

It doesn't tilt like the Kaiser. The screen just slides upward.

Hope the sliding mechanism is spring assisted as these are more robust in the sense that they do not become loose over time, but more than that I hope the device sees the light of the day and is just not another vaporware

A couple of them (the 6150 and 8150) are shipping, although apparently not in the U.S. yet. I haven't heard about the other three models.

Imate realized that they had great specs but were butt ugly?
This is my perfect device. Will it make me finally abandon the high speed of sprint and make me abandon fiscal sanity?  pclove:
