A more official news announcement of the Loox. I'll have some pictures and further information about the hands-on time I had with the device at CeBit. To end any speculation, however, the Bluetooth is integrated and the GPRS is a pack that slides onto the back, connecting at the bottom. It has another battery pack in it, likely 1550 mAh just like the Loox itself (the biggest battery I've seen yet from an OEM!).
"Fujitsu has taken the wraps off a PDA--the company's first--which will be sold worldwide from the second quarter of this year, the company announced Tuesday. The Tokyo-based company is planning to sell its Pocket Loox PDA in Europe, Japan, North America, and other Asia-Pacific countries, but has not decided where it will ship the new device first, says Tomohiro Onagi, a spokesperson for Fujitsu.
The Pocket Loox is based on Microsoft's Pocket PC 2002 software and an Intel PXA250 XScale microprocessor. The Japanese model will be equipped with 64MB of RAM, a 3.5-inch 240 by 320-pixel reflective LCD capable of displaying 65,536 colors, a Compact Flash memory card slot, and a Secure Digital card slot, a company statement says."
