Does Everything. Looks Like Maxwell Smart's Shoe
You'd think the battery life would suffer running all that, plus its Via processor (500MHz or 1GHz), but the reported life is 7 hours at "high power" or an impressive 90 hours at low power settings. This multi-use gadget really does fall down on size, measuring 6.4 x 2.6 x 0.96 inches and weighing pounds, so it's a pocket-stretcher. But it's not a wallet-stretcher: it's available from July for between $400 and $500 in Korea, no idea though if it'll make it across the Pacific.
The prominent reference to an electronic dictionary is a giveaway that the device is geared towards the left side of the Pacific Rim. No one in America can spell, but unlike other countries, they don't care if they can spell, either. I'd shell out five bills for it in a heartbeat, but I'm not moving to Korea anytime soon. Don't think of it as a huge ugly iPhone. Think of it as a small version of the dashboard from Captain Kirk's Buick.

This is actually a ploy to kill Apple's aesthetics department. When they see it they'll laugh so hard they'll die. |

lol but great idea even though i doubt it will get the advertised battery life |

Yeah, I'd definitely buy one if I had access to it. |

they should add real phone capabilites to it instead of voip |

It kind of has a James Bond vibe going for it, in a retro Frankenstein sort of way. The problem that most of these "do it all" devices suffer form is that while they can do many different things, they usually can't do any one thing particularly well. I doubt we will be seeing this in the US, so we probably won't get a chance to find out whether that's the case with this one. |

Mmm, yes I'd take one. I wouldn't pay that much for it, but I like the large resolution display. |
