Windows XP Handhelds

Following up on yesterday's post and the OQO, how hard would it be to embed a cell phone, a camera and a GPS receiver into a Windows XP handheld? Here are three of the better know Windows XP Handhelds out there now:

OQO



OQO has a 1 GHz PC, 256MB RAM, 20 GB hard disk, 800 x 480 display.

FlipStart



Flipstart has a 1 GHz PC, 256MB RAM, 30 GB hard disk, 1.3MP camera, 1024 x 600 display.

Tiqit



Tiqit has a 300 MHz PC, 256MB RAM, 15 GB hard disk, 640 x 480 display.

There is also the IBM Thinkpad PC110 and the Sony PCG-U101 that get discussed in this space.

A Deeper Look at the Tiqit and Windows XP Handhelds
 
First Look at the FlipStart
 
Interesting site - Handtops.com
 
You need to look at this - MPC Computer module modular PC. Brilliant concept. Expensive though.
 
Libretto
 
Some tablet PCs might work if they had a phone and a GPS onboard:

- Viewsonic Viewpad 1000

- Toshiba Portege M200

- Fujitsu tablets (pricey)
 
It sounds like this device is for you, from All-in-one devices help ease travelers' burdens: "For years, the information- technology director toted a laptop computer, a mobile phone, a hand-held computer, a dictation device and numerous power cords on business trips... Then Stucki found a device that allowed him to streamline: the BlackBerry 7100t. With this one hand-held device, he now makes phone calls, sends and receives e-mail wirelessly, opens e-mail attachments and surfs the Web..." The article mentions several other devices as well.
 
Sony also has the VGN-U70
 
People, o my what a wonderful site you have here. Interesting reading funny photos and lots of content for your reader.
