Several manufacturers produce SmartPhones that use the Windows Mobile (alias PocketPC) operating system. These systems are great but still are obviously limited by the lower-powered operating system that does not run regular Windows XP applications. Wouldn't it be great to have a telephone that also operates Windows XP? Now you can.
DualCor Technologies next month will unveil the cPC, a full-fledged handheld Windows XP computer. Actually, the cellular telephone includes TWO separate computers: one operates Windows XP while the other runs Windows Mobile 5.0.
DualCor Technologies will show the cPC off next month at CES. According to reports, the cPC will be just 6.5 x 3.3 x 1.2 inches, and will sport a 5-inch LCD display. The PC side will run XP Tablet Edition, on a 1.5GHz Via C7-M processor, while the SmartPhone will run Windows Mobile 5.0. A 40GB hard drive will serve both the PC and the SmartPhone, and the two sides will apparently be able to share at least some data.
The cPC is expected to sell for about $1,500. A picture of the cPC is available at http://www.dualcor.com. Further details are available here.
