Windows Phone Thoughts: BSQUARE Working to Get Handheld Released

"Last September, BSQUARE Corporation announced a design for a new wireless handheld that would run Windows CE .NET. This included a VGA screen, a keyboard, and the ability to connect to GSM/GPRS wireless networks. Though this device made a big splash when it was announced, things have been rather quiet since then. This isn't a sign that no progress is being made on this device, however. BQUARE's President and CEO Bill Baxter said last week, "I am especially excited about the prospects for our Power Handheld Reference Design, which is currently being evaluated by several wireless carriers and OEMs. With its low-cost, light-weight configuration, retractable keyboard, full-screen functionality and powerful processing capabilities, we believe that our Power Handheld device represents a superior alternative to laptops and less powerful handheld devices."



It's not a Pocket PC, but I have to give bSqaure props for their innovation - a 640 x 480 resolution device with a keyboard? Nice! Go check out the Brighthand article for more - we reported on this many months ago, but it seems like bSqaure is making some progress in bringing a device like this to market. I for one would love to see it happen!
