And the Fujitsu-Siemens News Just Keeps Coming...
Posted by Darius Wey in "NEWS" @ 12:00 AM
Okay, let's rewind a week. First, there were the rumours stemming from Firstloox.org about an upcoming Pocket LOOX N560 with an Intel XScale 624MHz processor, 64MB RAM, 256MB ROM, VGA, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, GPS, and the Intel 2700g GPU. Next came apparent confirmation that this device was indeed in the making, with a Pocket PC Phone Edition also in the works. Then on Tuesday, SoloPalmari released a list of specs and a mock-up of the Phone Edition.
Of course, rumours being rumours, they can be falsified in a flash. Off we go to Firstloox.org again where they now have some confirmed reports on these two devices. First, contrary to popular belief, the high-end LOOX (of which the N560 tag is still unconfirmed) will not have an Intel 2700g GPU. Second, you might have to let go all that geeky goodness that you felt over the Phone Edition (designated as the T800) - the device's specifications are quite unlike what was quoted a couple of days ago (for better or worse).
To counter what might be a traumatic ordeal for you in this never-ending rollercoaster ride of rumours, here is a remedy. Look outside - the sun is shining and the birds are chirping (hopefully). Go out and enjoy it and pretend these rumours do not exist. Mm'kay?
