With the prototype tag, a device from Compal can run
Windows CE 5.0 than the XP or Vista (which depletes the battery)! Called the
Ultra Mobile Device or UMD, this portable device doubles up as a Smartphone. It
runs effectively with HSDPA and has a 532MHz Freescale i.MX31 processor and
256MB of DDR RAM. With 512 MB of NAND Flash memory and SIM card slot (with a
miniSD slot for excess media) this device is multi faceted! The 4.3 inch WVGA
display, a slide out QWERTY key board, trackpad, built in speaker and
microphone gives his device a sleek look! This device also supports a Wi-Fi and
flaunts a 1.3 megapixel CMOS camera! The USB provides connectivity with a
headphone jack (which enables almost 5 hours of battery on a meager five watt
power usage). The mandatory media playing software and Skype applications are
supported by this device! Ironically, there’s no release date put forward by
Compal (not even a tentative one!) but there’s hope that it would eventually be
launched!
