xpPhone: Windows XP on a phone

17 September 2009 by Shaun One Comment

xppA few days ago I wrote The desktop smartphone and guess what? There is one. The xpPhone looks great on paper, but can it perform in the real world? Battery life sounds promising which is a good start, but the 400 gram weight may be a bit of a problem.

Pocketable mobile internet terminal integrating
mobile phone, GPS and laptop computer into one
* 4.8′ touch screen;
* VGA output to 1920 * 1200 resolution;
* Keyboard: Double-thumb input greatly improves your speed to write a message or e-mail, which is more than 3 times faster than normal mobile phone input. After a period of use, your touch typing speed on xpPhone can reach up to 90% of that on a desktop computer;
* Input method: xpPhone supports 5-stroke input, Google Chinese Pinyin input method and etc.

    Considering the screen size of 4.8′ and the weight of 400g, this doesn’t sound pocketable. But I suppose we really have to have the device in hand to know. Hopefully that will happen but somehow, I can’t help but classify this as vaporware for now.
