Yes that's true
Any facts about size/weight? Looks very small even with the GPS integrated... _________________ www.ruttensoft.com - Smartphone development

We must wait - only photos were released by Mitac and everything else is speculation.

No, but it has Windows Mobile 5.0 that supports Bluetooth keyboard profile (HID) so you can use Bluetooth keyboards with it. |

Very nice ppc. I just don't understand how can someone still consider making a ppc phone without Wifi Integrated that's just stupid.
That's understandable for Fm transmiter. but Wifi ?? come on!

built-in GPS is a nice add-on. Also a good choice to keep a full-size SD Card slot. But what about the other features? RAM, processor, speed and - not to forget - release date?
Anyone who already saw infos about it on the FCC Site? |

| Is it a WiFi symbol in the top field beside the connection symbol on the 3rd picture or is that the GPS symbol? |

Wi-Fi. The "mast" icon has no relevance to GPS, and GPS satellite strength/count icons are normally displayed within the GPS software itself. |

On the 2nd picture it does show the Windows Mobile 5 Wi-Fi connectivity icon. If that does mean that it has inbuilt Wi-Fi or if it's just a preliminar sample, with a developer OS build is impossible to say for now. _________________ Alexander Dreyer Johnsen

As these pictures came direct from Mitac (and not "leaked"), I doubt they'd show the symbol so prominently if it wasn't part of the spec, even if the screen picture is Photoshopped.
Sounds like we won't have long to wait for the official spec anyway - even if the product release is eons away... |

| No keypad - so does it have a stylus, like the MDA Compact? |
