i-mate JAQ: Right Design Gone Wrong?
Posted by Darius Wey in "HARDWARE" @ 09:00 AM
i-mate's getting ready to slap its logo on the Inventec Mercury Pocket PC Phone Edition and labelling it the JAQ. It isn't the JAQ of all trades, though. No Wi-Fi, 200MHz processor, and still the same old 64MB RAM and 128MB ROM configuration. On a brighter note, it does have a QWERTY keyboard, Bluetooth, a landscape-oriented QVGA display, quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE support, and a 1.3-megapixel camera.
Anyone like the design? Sure, it resembles the Q, Excalibur, and i320 Smartphones (which all look great), but I think Inventec and i-mate got it all wrong here. "Ugly" is an understatement. :pukeface2:
