Samsung NEXiO Coming Soon?

There's a brief post over at bargainpda.com that makes it sound like Samsung's new NEXiO device may actually be available soon. There's still not a whole lot of information about it, but the screen looks like something I could get pretty excited about.
• 5.0" Color VGA TFT LCD Screen, 64K Colors (800X480 resolution)
• Built-in CDMA2000 1X Module
• Mobile Office (Pocket Word, Excel, PowerPoint Viewer, Media Player)
• Standard USB Port
• Windows CE 3.0
• CPU StrongARM 1110 (206MHz)
• 64M SDRAM / 32MB Flash ROM
As you can see by the picture, the NEXiO is intended to be used in landscape mode, and it almost seems as though that's the configuration all of the applications are optimized for. I use my Pocket PCs primarily in the normal portrait mode, but still like the landscape layout for handwritten note taking and browsing. I'm not sure if I could get used to a "sideways" PDA all the time, though.
In any event, I probably don't need to worry about that too much; rumour has it that this little baby is going to cost somewhere around 1,000 Euros. You can see Samsung's official information here.
