Modular Windows Mobile Handheld Announced

Bob Russell · 04-19-2005, 06:24 PM

Imagine that! A Windows Mobile PDA with a variety of "snap on" keyboards. A small one for minimal size, or a full querty keyboard, or even a pistol grip for scanning.

It's the CN30 from Intermec, and you can expect it on the market third quarter of this year. No price announced, but it has a VGA screen, speaker, mic, wifi, bluetooth, and is targeted to be a revolution in enterprise handhelds, so I wouldn't expect it to be in the typical consumer's budget. Nonetheless, it's good to see some creative design, and the modular concept may still have a place in consumer designs for the future.

I really like the concept. Now to get a few other companies developing along similar lines, and making it mainstream (ie, common and _cheap_!!)
