yup i saw it in one of the PC mag, small small article, but don't seem to be nice the shape and design.

How Much Is It ?

first impression , DAMN HUGE. it's thick and looks pretty heavy. dun think any pants' pockets would fit it without ugly buldge...
specs look nice.. but finishing... hmm..

overall, u could literally whack the shit out of somebody with this..

maybe u could use it to break a crab when going for seafood dinner.

ahah break a crab when going for seafood dinner...
this is funny ...

wah........so ugly wan

but is it real? even the site looks doggy to me

Geez! Look at the thickness! It's like a freakin' brick! I bet you can kill someone with that.

How Much AnyOne Know ?

There's one thread going on over in mypdacafe. Forgot the link, saw it yesterday. Seems the company representitive was fielding some questions and got the forumers quite excited.

design n looks doesnt make me feel good...

indeed the design is very bad, if not wrong the price is around US$1500

i read that too, but i still not convince its representative of the company, not sure how true is it?

if its real then malaysia made th largest HDD PDA in the world lol....

how can 625mhz run a 8GB HDD?? & the battery life some more.....

Eeeeeeekkkkksss..... *Vomits*

They could have made it more curveous.......

Well, we'll just have to wait and see.

wonder how reliable it is

i got the reply, price is supposed to be from US$1500 - US$2000

RM7000 for a brick

HAHAH
That sums it up.
All hail mighty Malaysia.

You can get a lappie for a cheaper price. And the VAIO U series doesn't cost that much.

The peeps that designed the device are definately nubs in the mobile industry.

Unfortunately Wolfgard...You're right.... ..definatly nubs....

Wow, have to pay such a hefty price for a heavy brick? Those ppl who are behind this company really know nuts about the PDA business...

With such an angular design and heavy weight/thickness, they should market the device to nocturnal female workers.

See someone suspicious at night trailing you? BAM! One shot with the PDA and he's down. Then you take his pic with the built-in camera and send it to the police over some overpriced 3G network. Pwnz0r!

any release date for this model ?

HUGE, but superb specs

512Ram, 512Rom,
624Mhz Xscale
2700G3 accelerator
8GB with MiniSD expansion

i think they are nuts making such spec since it will cost more than a lap top. why 8GB still need SD?? for transfering data? do they have USB drive??
i know they have the vga connector to projector

oya, release date, 2nd quater this year....

I wonder if the actual unit will be easy on the eyes and wallet?

Looks like a brick.

i'd rather get a Pentium-M ULV that can run x86 software rather than this brick

and with that price?

the better choice would be fujistsu X1: 8" lcd, P-M ULV, advanced hdd with 4gb NAND cache, less than 1" thick, less than 700g, runs 6+ hours, support usb, and runs on good old windows xp professional @ 1024x768 reso with wi-fi

and who the heck wanna get a brick and type on a tiny 640x480 screen taht cost a bomb? and runs on the super shitty win-mobile 5.0?


edit: it's QVGA lar... who runs 320x240 on a 7,000 toy nowadays?

halamak!

Actually I do like the design.
The drawback is... well.. also.. design. Why the hell is it so frigging huge???
And the price.. rather go for a Centrino duo than this... Ain't good enough.

Who will want to buy this brick for rm 7K?? I won't. I rather buy another lappie to play with.

if the developers do read this, they should reconsider the release of the unit....

look at O2 atom, Dopod 818, 838, 900 for goodness sake......

another SHxT after Mmobile....

The design look a bit 'bricky'. USD 1500 is too high for average user. It's meant to endure all weather and pressure.

argg!!
price was 7k

can get performance SFF or desktop system

anyway it's still early to make judgement.
so just wait for the arrival of "the thing" hehe

Origami...

I rather go for Dopod 900 or Exec rather than this piece of £$%^&*()_

Why do I need 2 2Mp camera on a single phone. I dont freaking understand

this thing is friggin' fugly.... And I thought IBM are the worst designers in this world.... Sigh, Malaysians seems to prove that we're worst... It has superb specs, that I credit, but what's the point if you can't make it small? You don't see people packing desktop stuff into tower casing with an attached screen and call that a laptop do you? And for RM7k, might as well just wait for Microsoft Origami..

malaysia boleh

To all,

... Why is that Malaysians do not support Malaysia products? Although it might not be good to your standards. Then, please join the industry and make a good phone product for all of us. You will gain my respect and salute!

How come I could have so different opinions, or am I from Mars? Me alien?,.... not Malaysian?

Why? Why? ... You tell me why?!

Malaysian products should be supported if they are made of good quality and sound design. Is designing something inpractical something to be proud of? We need to show Malaysia Boleh! in terms to good quality and good products instead of just showing how bad we are...

then u go buy lo ....

Buy sure can 1... The thing is that the price range is way too high for a PDA! I mean, for 7k, might as well get a full-powered Centrino laptop with all the works...

But the size is interesting... Seriously, that PDA is a brick that can be useful in bashing-up snatch thieves!
