Thx for the links. Anyways, it's not clear to me if the whole device is exclusive, or just the exterior (frame, ergonomics, aestetics). Meaning... probably the guts (pcb, processors, int memory & expansion, I/O, screen) are available to OEMs, ODMs to pick upas is, and just they need to craft the exterior in "innovative" ways (4 way buttons rather than "wheels", frame colors, rounded vs square terminations, firmware).
That's usually a cheaper option for the electronics' manufacturer (Jinke, Netronix) than having to run smaller production runs, testing all combos, keep diff product lines, etc etc.
