Microsoft Readies CDMA PPC Phones
As usual Microsoft is generating a lot of noise through the announcement of CDMA Pocket PC Phone Edition Devices. Samsung has officially announced the i700 and Hitachi is soon to announce the Hitachi Multimedia Communicator. Unlike their GSM counterparts both sport integrated cameras and the Hitachi has a keyboard. The problem with all the PPC Phone Edition devices is that they are two big and expensive. At least with the GSM versions you can take out the SIM and put it into a small phone when you don't need the PDA features.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
