Rumour: The Pocket LOOX N100
Posted by Darius Wey in "NEWS" @ 09:00 AM
This is a rumour. This is a rumour. This is a rumour. This is a rumour. This is a rumour.
Okay, now that I've got that out of the system, let's talk about the Pocket LOOX N100, which has been the source of much discussion at FirstLoox.org. According to an anonymous tipster, the N100 is a dedicated GPS and media solution from Fujitsu-Siemens with the look and feel of the iPod nano. The supposed specs? No Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, it seems, but it does have integrated GPS (SiRFstar III; support for TMC, and the inclusion of NAVIGON MobileNavigator|6), built-in flash storage (256MB, 1GB, 2GB, or 4GB), a 2.8" QVGA (240 x 320) TFT-LCD, USB 2.0 (host and slave), an SDIO/SD/MMC slot, a changeable cover available in five different colours, and Windows Mobile 5.0. And, at 90mm x 60mm x 15mm and 70g, that's even smaller and lighter than the compact O2 Xda Atom. :crazyeyes:
Remember, nothing is official yet, so take it all with a grain of salt. If factual though, we could see the N100 as early as next month at CeBIT, with a Q2 2006 release to follow on later.
