IPbook A1: a low-end UMPC
[ 30-10-2006 15:43 ]
Author: Verà Kozlova Translation by: Rytchkova Anja
The Korean maker Independent Pioneer has announced the release of its first ultra mobile PC IPbook A1 at the home market. The IPbook A1 is powered by VIA 1 GHz processor, 40 GB HDD, 512 MB RAM and supports Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 1.2 wireless standards, and optionally GPS and DMB opportunities.
The device is peculiar for its price – 799,000 Won, i.e. some $844. To compare, the Q1 by Samsung costs about 1,000,000 Won. So we see a nice trend of falling prices. I’d remind you that initially UMPC-devices were positioned as quite inexpensive products - $500-800. The release will be on November 1.

The American operator Cingular Wireless has published a PowerPoint presentation stating release dates and prices for the Treo 680 and Cingular 8525 communicators. I’d remind you that the Treo 680 is a budget communicator announced by Palm in October. The company didn’t provide the approximate price then.
Cingular will offer the Treo 680 for $424.99 without the contract and discounts, and for $349.99 and $174.99 after some discounts. The release is scheduled for November 5.
Cingular 8525 is based on HTC Hermes platform like HTC TyTN. It is expected the other day. The recommended price makes up $559.99 or lower after discounts.

Retro-concept of a Walkman phone
[ 30-10-2006 09:02 ]
Author: Verà Kozlova Translation by: Rytchkova Anja
Torbjorn Eriksson, industry designer, has developed a mobile phone concept for Sony Ericsson. The model looking so will hardly be released soon, but still it’s quite interesting and original.
Its digital keyboard is made in the style of old fixed phones with revolving dial disk. The idea of the revolving dial disk is supported with arrows. The question is whether the location of keys is convenient.
