i-Mate Ultimate News Roundup
Posted by Nurhisham Hussein in "HARDWARE" @ 05:00 AM
"In case it wasn't obvious from the retail 8150 hands-on, the first two (only two?) of i-mate's Ultimate series devices have started shipping. The color scheme has mercifully been changed from the sickly gold shown at CeBIT to a far more tolerable black, but otherwise the specs ring true to what we'd been told to expect: quadband GSM / EDGE plus triband HSDPA, 128MB of RAM, 256MB of ROM, 2 megapixel autofocus cam, VGA display, WiFi, Bluetooth 2.0, microSD slot and TV out (whew)."

Despite some scepticism on whether they really exist (mea culpa), the first two Ultimate models have been launched at Gitex 2007 - welcome to the 6150 and the 8150! No details yet on pricing and shipping is slated for early October, but at least i-Mate's top of the line models are here. To whet your appetite, the following links will lead you to photo reviews of these beasties:

•Picture Review of 6150 and 8150 from ce4arab.com (warning: Arabic script, and no, I can't translate it!).
As you may have heard, the other three models in the Ultimate range will be released progressively in the coming months, though firm release dates are not available.
