Donka's Mobile Rambles

It looks like the Acer n300 series will have a competitor in the small form, VGA Pocket PC market. With the announcement that the Loox 718/720 will not receive a Windows Mobile 5 upgrade and the subsequent cancellation of the replacement 750/760 series, a new device has come into the fray in the shape of the C550. Features include a compact form factor, VGA screen, WM5, 128MB ROM / 64MB RAM and an SD I/O socket. Bluetooth and WiFi are also present as is USB host functionality to round off a well equipped and small package. No pictures or dimensions are available at the moment or information on battery capacity or processor speed but with the respect the Loox 720 earned, I would envisage these will be more than competent. Expect to see this product on the market in the first quarter, 2006.
