Pretty cool device, has built in wireless networking, Intel StrongARM 1110 200 MHz processor, 32mb ram, running Windows CE 2.11. No idea of price, not being released until Q2 of this year.

Huh. I have a couple of potentially interesting things to add to this. First, Siemens is no stranger to tft touchscreens. I have what I would guess is basically the same screen (8" 800x600 TFT Touchscreen) that they use in a ruggedized point-of-sale terminal (do a web search for SNIKEY to see what it is).

Next, I see that they only show a 2 hour run time. This is probably due to the TFT power requirements. I for one am thankful for the long life pod design. I would never trade a TFT screen for such a short run time.

Finally, I note that, just like the pod, this unit comes with Pocket Word, BUT NO OUTLOOK! Hmm...

Personally, I like the pod better. But it is interesting to see so many different vendors coming out with similar products (that is, webpads). Thanks for the link!
