xpPhone: first mobile phone to run Windows XP [Pocket-lint]
Altough I'm not a fan of Windows XP, I must admit that the idea of having full computing capabilities on a mobile phone sounds very compelling.
According to Pocket-lint, a Chinese company called "In Technology" will unveil a device in China in September that will run Microsoft's outdated OS. No word on pricing yet, but some hints on specs:
Believed to be the first XP-packing handset in the world, the xpPhone has a 4.8-inch LCD touchscreen with an 800 x 400 resolution. It's packing a 120GB hard drive, and slide-out QWERTY keyboard.
Optional modules that the phone will support include Wi-Fi, WiMax, GPS, and "next-generation mobile". It can wake up Windows from standby mode to receive texts and calls, and has a battery life of about 7 hours.
Based on the picture above, the device looks crapy to me, but it might be the case that this is just an initial prototype. We'll stay tuned for further news about it.
