Michael van Oosten sent in this link to a Malaysian company, BSmart. BSmart focuses on Microsoft Windows Embedded development and has now announced plans to bring a Pocket PC with integrated GPRS and GPS to market.
In my opinion, it has a cool "Star Trek"-look. I also note, with great joy, that GPS is integrated. I do hope to see much more GPS integration in PDAs and smartphones, because I firmly believe that integrated GPS is the most cost efficient, open and accurate path to real location based services. The BSmart Communicator is a great "answer" to Jason's recent post "Chip crammed with phone, GPS, Bluetooth". Would be nice to see an Xscale processor in this beauty, though!
