The bPhone the Phone and netbook hybrid
You would be forgiven for mistaking the above image for a small netbook, but its infact a hybrid device, its both a phone and netbook. The 5.0″ touch screen swivels 180 degrees to turn into a type of tablet that can be used like a phone.
The bPhone runs on a linux 2.6 OS, 800X480 screen resolution, a Marvell PXA310 624MHz processor, 256MB NAND Flash, 128MB SDRAM, and has GPS, WiFi, FM, Bluetooth and java. To me the bPhone is a strange device, although the concept is intriguing, the 5.0″ screen make it a bit too small for me to be used as a netbook and the 5.0″ screen makes it a bit bulky to be used as a phone. I guess this maybe something more targeted to the frequent traveler who needs to save on space.
The bPhone isn’t cheap, it will retail for just under USD$600 and there is no information on when it will be released or which markets it will be available in.
