Windows Phone Thoughts: Guess Who's Back?

"Casio through its years of PDA development experience has designed the new IT-10 model with the portability, functionality, durability and superior hardware that the business market demands. Casio strongly believes this new model will energize and expand the Enterprise PDA market."



Be prepared to wipe the dust off the Cassiopeia archives. Casio's back to leave another impression in the Pocket PC market with the IT-10.

The IT-10 is shock-resistant, dust-resistant, and splash-resistant. Under the hood, it features the Intel PXA270 processor running at 416MHz, with 64MB of RAM, and 64MB of ROM. The IT-10 comes in two flavours: the M20 and M20BR. Both feature IrDA 1.3, but the M20 lacks any additional wireless functionality. The M20BR, on the other hand, includes Bluetooth 1.2 and 802.11b WLAN. Both devices have a 3.7" VGA 640x480 LCD screen and a 2,300 mAh battery as standard. The battery life is touted at 27 hours of continuous non-wireless use. Both devices also include an SDIO and CF slot, so you can stock it up with extra features. They run Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition, and its dimensions are 140 (H) x 80 (W) x 25 (D) mm. The units will be available for purchase in December.
