So, HTC will not be the only makers of big windows mobile devices like the Shift and Athena. Samsung takes Windows Mobile to the next level by packing it into a WiMax enabled Internet tablet device, the Mondi! Looks like the Nokia 810 WiMax Internet tablet which apparantly failed in the end.

Yea, the name might sound a bit weird but believe us, the real device is definitely promising. On top of the Windows Mobile 6.1 professional operating system, Samsung has added the TouchWiz UI on a crystal clear 4.3 inches touch screen. A slide-out qwerty keyboard will ease your mobile internet browsing as well as typing emails. Not to forget that Opera 9.5 will be bundled.

What impresses us the most is the HDMI output, probably the first windows mobile device to boast this feature. 4 Gig Internal Storage, GPS, 3 megapixel camera are all other added stuffs.

Unfortunately, you cannot make calls over cellular network as this device will exclusively work on WiFi and WiMax. This is where Samsung has probably failed. People will want to have an all in one device. By bringing a great device with immense power, why strip off the most wanted cellular feature?
