First thing is: I'm pretty sure this will fall into the PDA category despite its size, but I thought that it looked pretty cool, what do you guys think? I think Samsung is calling it a "Wireless Hand PC," which I guess makes sense because you don't get much use out of a Pocket PC when it sits in your pocket. :rolleyes:
Here's some of the features:

5" Wide Transflective Color LCD
800 X 480 WVGA TFT (64K Colors)
Intel PXA250 400MHz
Microsoft Windows CE .NET (4.1)
128MB DRAM / 64 Flash ROM
Lithium Polymer Battery (1500mAh)
CFII Slot, Sync, Connector & VGA out Port

It also has an integrated Wi-Fi module, eliminating the need for a compact flash 802.11b card, leaving the CF slot open for other duties. I didn't have much time, but I could only find the price of the unit in Hong Kong dollars: $7,180.00 --Would you guys like to see a review of this? I would.

I wonder if it has a touch screen in addition to the keyboard. Something like this would be perfect for me when I am on the road writing reports for Designtechnica. At the Sony press conference at CES I saw a journalist with one of these and she was typing away right in the middle of the presentation. The room was pitch black, she has some sort of filter on the screen that was dimming it so the light would not be distracting. I am pretty sure that what she had was made by Sony though.

could it have been an NR or NX series PDA? (they both have keyboards).

Could have also been any other sony PDA, like the SJ30, it has a foldout keyboard you can buy for it.
