You'd never think that you'd get an email announcing a new Pocket PC, look at the specs, and then say "Oh, another one of those." Well I just did, and it is a strange notion to wrap my brain around.
•Memory: 32MB SDRAM, 32MB Flash ROM
•206MHz Intel® StrongARM™
•A 3.5-inch LCD TFT 65K color display with backlights at 240 x 320 pixels
•Internal Lithium-ion polymer rechargeable battery
•Integrated Compact Flash (CF) and Secure Digit (SD) card slots
•Built-in infrared (IR), USB, RS-232 ports
MSI a component manufacture from Taiwan has announced its plans to market a new Pocket PC. I suspect, like the @migo, that if this Pocket PC makes it to our side of the ocean, it will be either sold in bulk, or it will be licensed by a third party. Unlike the @migo, the specifications are nothing to get excited about, and seem to be on par with the specifications of the Toshiba/Audiovox/Casio units. This last bit is purely speculative, but judging from the mocked up screen shot, this device is still a long way off. Thanks to Trevor Bommersbach for sending this our way.
