S101/S101K Remote Office Access Device

Alexander Turcic · 02-21-2005, 06:39 AM

The ROAD S101/S101K looks like an interesting device. Advertised as the perfect all-inclusive solution for everyday business, the Linux-based S101 combines a mobile phone with the functionalities of a desktop PC (at least that is the claim).

The relatively unknown German company ROAD GmbH, who is partnering with Trolltech AS and Siemens AG , has also two more smartphones under development, which are based on the S series, but will have a larger keyboard plus additional hardware feature (and run either Symbian or Windows CE instead of Linux).

Credits go to PalmAddicts for the news.

That is so cool...

Engadget covered this and opined that it may be a fake or at least an exaggeration.

I think this is a fake. I've never heard about the company, and their device just looks too much like a Nokia device.

And, as Engadget already pointed out: what kind of Linux phone has a Windows key and runs Outlook?

Even if it's a fake, someone should make one... isn't it what people want? Or is it just goofy tech lovers like us?
