DualCor's new cPC combines a Windows Mobile 5.0 system running on a 400MHz Intel PXA263 with Windows XP Tablet PC Edition running on a 1.5GHz VIA C7-M processor. Both processors take separate partitions of the machine's 1GB of DDR 2 SDRAM and 1GB of NAND Flash but share the 40GB hard drive, allowing documents created by one OS to be accessed by the other.
DualCor says that the device provides mobile workers with a powerful desktop system that can operate as a PDA when they're on the move. The device will operate more than 12 hours in Windows Mobile mode. Switching to XP mode reduces battery life to around three hours. Users can switch from one to the other at the press of a button. Both OSes run simultaneously on their own CPUs so the transition is instantaneous.
The cPC os l;arger than most handhelds at 16.3 x 8.3 x 3cm,. It has a 5-inch 800 x 480 pixel, 262,000-color display. There's a mini VGA port to hook the unit up to an external monitor. The screen is touch-sensitive to work with a stylus, but the cPC also features a flat joystick-like mouse control.
When it ships in March, the cPC will cost $1500.

This looks like a very promising machine. I’m glad to see one more Handtop PC on the market besides OQO.

Everything is right the only thing about which I concern is that it's way too small.
