More JAQ Than We Can Handle: i-mate Announces the JAQ4
Posted by Darius Wey in "HARDWARE" @ 06:00 PM
First, it was the eyesore known as the JAQ. Next, the JAQ3 (an upgrade so good that it blew the non-existent JAQ2 out of the water). And now, the JAQ4. Yes, we're not quite sure how a manufacturer manages to release a sequel to a sequel in the space of less than twelve months, but knowing i-mate, nothing is impossible. Unfortunately, there's nothing in the JAQ4 that cries innovation. There's the standard TI OMAP 200MHz CPU, 64MB RAM, 128MB ROM, quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE connectivity, 802.11b/g Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 1.2, 2.0-megapixel camera, miniSD slot, and QWERTY keyboard. On a positive note, it has a GPS receiver and runs Windows Mobile 6, but truth be told, that does nothing to reach the bar set by the Ultimate series and Toshiba's G900.
