MiTAC Announces Smart Phone
Mar 07 - 03:26 PM ET | Camera, Smartphone
MiTAC has announced the first clam-shell style smart phone, the MiTAC 8380. We're not quite sure what's so smart about it--but it's got good specs:
- Runs Microsoft's Windows Powered Smartphone platform
- Powered by Intel's new XScale processor
- The screen is a TFT transflective color display
- Inludes an integrated digital camera
- MPEG-4 encoder for sending video
The Microsoft part may be its weakpoint--for the most part it's an untested operating system. Also, who wants the blue screen of death when making a call? Otherwise, this phone looks solid.
