Well there is some new information. Of the two devices, they are both 7" multi-purpose devices. One of them operates on WinCE 5.0 and the other (more impressive one) operates on WinCE 6.0 Embedded. The WinCE 6.0 device uses the ARM CORTEX A8 600M processor, which is a newer processor used by devices such as iPhone and Archos 5. Both devices are new models. The WinCE 6.0 device isn't quite out of production and the test unit he was going to ship me didn't have Bluetooth. We decided to wait on the review of this device until he received the production model. I should receive the WinCE 5.0 device late this week or early next week. Expect the first review shortly after the arrival of the WinCE 5.0 device.

I can also tell you the battery life on the 6.0 device is longer than the 5.0. Assume that anything you have working in WinCE on the SmartQ7 would work on either of these devices, and some other apps that didn't work on WinCE 6.0 may work on WinCE 5.0 (some older apps?).

I believe the WinCE 5.0 device is this one (although it is not FROM JoinTech and has no JoinTech logo - it is also lower price than the JoinTech version even though the specifications are exactly the same):
