Witspad W8 Mobile World Wide Web Device

Witspad W8 Mobile Net Device

The Witspad W8 Mobile Web Device (MID) does look like a smartphone at first glance, something which hails from the HTC family of devices, but we guess we are wrong considering it lacks SMS support, which disqualifies it from being a full handset replacement. Hardware specifications include the Maemo OS, a 806MHz Marvell PXA 320 processor, a 4.3" touchscreen display, 128MB RAM, 256MB ROM, a 3.2-megapixel camera, a 3.5mm headphone jack, GPS support, Wi-Fi connectivity and CDMA2000 3G connectivity. It is currently going for around $470 after conversion in China.

Open Mobile System Gets Windows Mobile API Support?

February 3, 2010

Open Mobile System Gets Windows Mobile API Support?

You’ll probably remember the OPhone, which runs on the Open Mobile System (OMS), China Mobile’s supposedly modified Android OS? OMS has moved from version 1.5 to 2.0, and there are some rather interesting updates. Aside from the Scalable Vector Graphics UI elements, as well as voice recognition, the most intriguing is the support for the Windows Mobile API. Does that update mean that Windows Mobile apps will be able to run natively in OMS via a compatibility layer? Considering that there is a rather large catalog of Windows Mobile apps out there, whether OMS is able to run Windows Mobile apps, it would certainly be favorable to it. There isn’t any mention of any phones that will be getting version 2.0 just yet, but hopefully something will happen soon.

The Chinese carrier selling real iPhone to additionally sell fake iPhone.

November 27, 2009

China Unicom, which is the exclusive authorized carrier for the Apple iPhone in China, will also sell a fake iPhone called the uPhone, which runs Android. The uPhone is probably the reply to rival China Mobile's iPhone clone, the oPhone. That's the market for touch phones in China: Two fake iPhones battle it out for supremacy on the two major carriers while the real iPhone languishes in obscurity and irrelevance. I've said it before and I'll say it again: Apple and China are simply incompatible.
