What is the story with this device? Looks like amazing specs even over a year later when compared with the HTC Shift. Is it vapourware? What is the story?

Any news appreciated…

Anything new on the CPC? I would like to buy one, but I heard they bombed.

I simulated the size by enlarging a picture of it to the reported specs. It seemed a little big. I then pulled out my current cell phone I consider small. When the cell phone’s in talking mode, it’s the exact length of the mock-up cPC and only an inch or so wider. I don’t think I’ll have any problem using this as a regular phone, although it’d be nice using a headset (not much luck in the past with those, however).

Considering I eventually want all of the following: slate tablet pc, GPS for my car, an upgraded phone, and a handheld…well I’ll be jumping on the DualCor as soon as my checkbook signals green. Can you imagine the possibilities for integrating this baby with a car? Wow…beautiful. I can’t wait!

I could live without Bluetooth, but WiFi…wow, that’d be tough.

Now if only I can use Sprint with it!

I think some confusion was caused by the phrase “WiFi, Bluetooth, 3G enabled” — it can be parsed more than one way. I parse it as “3G enabled” — which means, possibility of 3G later on, but WiFi and BT *built-in now*. Only makes sense that way.

Wouldn’t owners most likely use a headset with it?

That predicted price is very depressing. I understand why it is that high, but it puts this beauty out of my reach. When I spend that much again, it will be for a Tablet PC that can play Age of Empires III.

Still, I do love the concept. As someone who has been dreaming of owning a PPC phone for some time, this is even more exciting. They broke out of the industry mold and gave the thing decent resolution, too, bravo! Only one thing (other than battery life): I’ve yet to see a photo of it next to someone’s head. Perhaps I haven’t looked hard enough, but I did go to their site.

Do some Bs have 4 pins vs 5? I was looking at convertable USB cables recently and it seems the variety is just frightening.

Not only would no wireless built-in change the weight, it’d change the portability factor too. “Did I pack that WiFi CF/SD?”

And for the troll:

JK,
Based on your response above, it sounds like you do not have a pre-production unit to test and evaluate. Is that correct?

I’m seriously concerned about the integrated vs. not-integrated Wifi and BT. If its not integrated, I’m not interested. Based on Chris’ remarks, your post [qoute] Weight approximately 1 pound (depending on wireless options) [\quote] makes sense. If you need to add a BT or WiFi Dongle, it would change the weight.

Please let us know (as I’m sure you will) what you’re able to find out. Thanks again.

Also, when do you foresee a full review of this device?

Why the Type B USB connector? Can this be used as an “external storage unit” by another PC?

(This may be classifed as a stupid question): Can Type A devices (i.e. a USB keyboard) be connected to a Type B Connector (assuming you buy a Type A to Type B adapter)?

Thank you.

Give me a break. This prattle sounds like the same nitwit who is trolling the handtops.com forum. Sorry to see his infection has now spread to this site.

JK, here’s *proof* of what I’m talking about here with these desperate oQoers.

The following is a link to the CNET review that states that DualCor cPC will have, as it goes to market in March 2006, wifi “g” built into it:

Not, CNET’s one of the best and most recognized reviewers of technology out there. To say that they don’t know what they’re talking about is like saying that you don’t know what you’re talking about with regards to technology.

Agenda’s fully exposed. The oQo-ers *are* going to *deliberately* do this. They’re shaking in their boots…

JK, beware, these false rumors are being spread by frightened and desperate oQo-ers (and perhaps by oQoers, at least employees themselves). There are plenty of public reviews out that that indicate to the contrary. For example, I just read one a day or so ago that is linked at handtops.com under the cPC DualCor forum over there that indicates that the “g” wifi standard is going to be in the March 2006 cPC production run.

The evident glee in these posts are all the intelligent reader needs to know about the oQo-ers fear driven “please don’t drive oQo out of business” agenda.

NO NO NO BT or WiFi?!!?

It’s now the DUDcor!

Wow, Chris. I understood that WiFi and BT were integrated into the unit. With no integrated networking the cPC will be DOA at launch. Now that I think about it DualCor didn’t say the WiFi and BT were integrated but it never occurred to me that any PC today would be released without at least WiFi.

Thanks for the update on the Dualcor cPC.

However just to be perfectly clear, there is no built in networking (wi-fi, bluetooth, ethernet or cellular (GSM or CDMA). These functions can be added using the CompactFlash slot or USB ports.
