New Cellphone Sized "Computer" Takes Aim at Sub-Notebooks

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Monday October 20, 2008 @05:12AM from the no-nomad-comparisons dept.

IMOVIO has launched a new cellphone-sized computer that is aimed at something similar to the subnotebook market. While it doesn't have 3G of its own, it does have a QWERTY keyboard, Wi-Fi, and a $175 price point. "It can connect to the Internet using a standard Wi-Fi connection, or it can use your cell phone's mobile broadband connection via Bluetooth. The company is currently pitching it to mobile network operators and retail stores. It's being compared to the ill-fated Palm Foleo. But the comparison doesn't work because the Foleo was Palm-phone only, didn't fit in a pocket and cost well over three times the price of the iKIT.

Yep, I got one already, a Zaurus C3100. 8gig hard drive, 640x480 resolution, looks to be the same exact size as this one. I can even tether bluetooth with my phone, connect to wifi access points, stream music, watch videos....... move along, this has been done before, and better from the looks of it.
