Windows Phone Thoughts: DualCor cPC Pricing Revealed: $1500 to $2000

"Our readers' eyes bulged when we stated that UMPCs would range from $600 to $1,000. They may be even more surprised to learn that the cPC will ring in at well above the $1,500 mark for enterprise users direct from the manufacturer. In fact, to get a cPC from Westwood, you will have to pay $1,500 plus an additional $500 bucks (although Westwood does throw a three year warranty in with the deal). $2,000 seems like a hefty price to pay for a "do everything" device. If both operating systems are so important to people, a separate Pocket PC used in conjunction with a Tablet PC or UMPC seems like a much cheaper and effective alternative. But then again, it seems as though convergence is the name of the game these days."



Remember the DualCor cPC? It's a new ultra portable personal computer capable of running both Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005 and Windows Mobile 5.0. We initially reported that the unit would be available at $1500. It now looks like that price is restricted only to enterprise users, and that standard consumers will have to pay a bit more, say in the order of $2000. Does that make the DualCor cPC any less enticing? You decide.
