Cathena Windows CE Laptop Available
Posted by Jonathon Watkins in "HARDWARE" @ 01:00 AM
"It sure looks like a regular laptop, but the Cathena is definitely not a regular laptop, especially since it runs on Windows CE rather than on the full Windows OS. It’s sort of like that movie Big, just with a PDA that’s woken up in the body of a laptop instead of some forgotten child actor waking up in Tom Hanks’s body (and it’s also not a movie, but whatever). The specs won’t blow you out of the water (64MB of ROM, 128MB of RAM, a 12.1-inch LCD screen, 802.11b WiFi, and a CompactFlash memory card slot—but NO hard drive), but you do get an instant-on laptop that weighs under 3 pounds and that’ll work just fine for taking notes, sending emails, instant messaging, and accessing the web"
It's always good to see new Windows CE devices, espcially when they have built in keyboards. The problem as ever, is price. Engadget are correct in thier post. $799 is a lot of your earth dollars. :?
