Pictures of Hitachi's New (and Huge) Pocket PC
Posted by Janak Parekh in "HARDWARE" @ 10:00 AM
WinCE Japan has pictures of the new Hitachi Pocket PC with VGA (partial English translation here) and a Zaurus-like slide-out thumbboard, and put simply, it's large, perhaps to the point of being non-pocketable:
Now, before we all immediately dismiss the unit, the iPAQ 4150 pictured above it is one of the smallest Pocket PCs out there, and depending on your application, the extra size may be worthwhile. I've held the sister Zaurus unit, and while it's not small, it's certainly hand-able. I'd love to see comparison pics against my e805, since that's no petite unit either (although I suspect it's shorter). ;)
