New Pocket Loox Models: All That And a Bag of Chips?
Posted by Pat Logsdon in "HARDWARE" @ 11:30 AM
"The new Loox models (particularly the 720) look pretty exciting. The latest Bluetooth version is included so both sets of wireless should be able to be used simultaneously. Consumer IR means they will be able to function as remotes for TVs, projectors etc. A USB 2.0 [slave] port means ultra-fast synchronisation - and USB 1.1 host means, presumably, the ability to use the new Loox models with USB peripherals such as hard drives and keyboards. A built-in VoIP receiver means they will be equipped for the latest killer application - voice over WiFi.

Pretty solid specs, especially for the 720; it looks like they're gunning for the HP rx4700. What the heck is a VoIP Receiver, though? Anyone care to speculate? Anyone have their sights set on this already?
