The companies producing LCDs for mobile devices are on race making their products ever slimmer to encourage the release of more compact devices.

E-Ten to release a communicator with a VGA-display, rumors    [ 21-11-2006 13:42 ]

Yesterday E-Ten hold an event in London introducing its latest communicators X500 and M700.

E-Ten plans to release several 3G models in the beginning of 2007. They will feature GPS-functionality. There expected to appear the model with a 2.8” VGA screen.

I’d remind you that the communicators with a VGA screen are currently rarely met. One of them available outside Japan is HTC Universal, it looks like a small notebook transformer, so it can hardly be treated as a mass product.
