What is the story with this device? Looks like amazing specs even over a year later when compared with the HTC Shift. Is it vapourware? What is the story?

Any news appreciated…

Anything new on the CPC? I would like to buy one, but I heard they bombed.

I simulated the size by enlarging a picture of it to the reported specs. It seemed a little big. I then pulled out my current cell phone I consider small. When the cell phone’s in talking mode, it’s the exact length of the mock-up cPC and only an inch or so wider. I don’t think I’ll have any problem using this as a regular phone, although it’d be nice using a headset (not much luck in the past with those, however).

Considering I eventually want all of the following: slate tablet pc, GPS for my car, an upgraded phone, and a handheld…well I’ll be jumping on the DualCor as soon as my checkbook signals green. Can you imagine the possibilities for integrating this baby with a car? Wow…beautiful. I can’t wait!

I could live without Bluetooth, but WiFi…wow, that’d be tough.

Now if only I can use Sprint with it!

I think some confusion was caused by the phrase “WiFi, Bluetooth, 3G enabled” — it can be parsed more than one way. I parse it as “3G enabled” — which means, possibility of 3G later on, but WiFi and BT *built-in now*. Only makes sense that way.

It’s quite possible they could launch a quad band/EDGE GSM version in March. Carrier support not needed, just a SIM card slot.
WiFi & BT have to be built in, it would be a deal killer otherwise.

Wouldn’t owners most likely use a headset with it?

That predicted price is very depressing. I understand why it is that high, but it puts this beauty out of my reach. When I spend that much again, it will be for a Tablet PC that can play Age of Empires III.

Still, I do love the concept. As someone who has been dreaming of owning a PPC phone for some time, this is even more exciting. They broke out of the industry mold and gave the thing decent resolution, too, bravo! Only one thing (other than battery life): I’ve yet to see a photo of it next to someone’s head. Perhaps I haven’t looked hard enough, but I did go to their site.

Do some Bs have 4 pins vs 5? I was looking at convertable USB cables recently and it seems the variety is just frightening. Not only would no wireless built-in change the weight, it'd change the portability factor too. "Did I pack that WiFi CF/SD?" And for the troll: http://techdirt.com/articles/20060109/1012239_F.shtml

JK,
Based on your response above, it sounds like you do not have a pre-production unit to test and evaluate. Is that correct?

I’m seriously concerned about the integrated vs. not-integrated Wifi and BT. If its not integrated, I’m not interested. Based on Chris’ remarks, your post [qoute] Weight approximately 1 pound (depending on wireless options) [quote] makes sense. If you need to add a BT or WiFi Dongle, it would change the weight.

Please let us know (as I’m sure you will) what you’re able to find out. Thanks again.

Also, when do you foresee a full review of this device?

Why the Type B USB connector? Can this be used as an “external storage unit” by another PC?

(This may be classifed as a stupid question): Can Type A devices (i.e. a USB keyboard) be connected to a Type B Connector (assuming you buy a Type A to Type B adapter)?

Thank you.
