Gigabyte releases a PDA-enabled phone with multi-lingual support

Gigabyte Communications has introduced its PDA-enabled phone gSmart i128 for the international market. It is positioned as the world first multi-lingual mobile device. The company says, it supports viewing of Internet pages and Windows Mobile documents in different languages of 98 countries.
The company offers an example of use – traveling businessmen can view share quotations or some other info in local language, for example, via hot spots in the airport. I’d note that this variety of languages might turn not relevant – there are not so many users knowing more than 2-3 languages. However the combination with the electronic dictionary is interesting…
The gSmart i128 is powered by Windows Mobile 5.0 AKU2.3 and supports Push Email technology. Taking into account the design and specs the gSmart i128 is almost similar to the gSmart i released in Taiwan, looking rather a version of it with multi-lingual support for the international market.
The device differs in larger flash ROM size – 128 MB instead of 64 MB, which stands in the name of the model, we assume. Like the gSmart i it is equipped with a 2.1-megapixel camera, TV (NTSC/PAL) and FM receivers and supports Wi-Fi networks.
