Compulab unveils the exeda Android / WinMo handheld

We were really hoping to see some wild Android devices at CES, and while we did see one or two interesting applications, we sadly missed Compulab's crazy exeda. Ostensibly designed for the enterprise market, the squared-off handheld features a 3.5-inch sun-readable VGA touchscreen, QWERTY keyboard, and a capacitive touchpad that acts as a mouse. Like other recent Asian Android handsets we've seen, the exeda can also boot Windows Mobile 6.1 on its 520MHz Marvell CPU and 128MB of RAM, and the radio setup is similarly flexible -- resellers can pick from quadband GSM / GPRS, CDMA, and 3G UMTS. Craziest of all? The exeda has a 10/100Base-T Ethernet port in addition to WiFi. Yeah, we want one. No details on pricing, but hopefully we'll find out more when it hits in March.

Nice device hope it will be affordable, and that it'll feature a good camera as well as a 3,5 mm headjack.

Did Fisher-Price design this thing?

Where's the rest of it? I can't imagine trying to type on it with MY thumbs. Who's the target audience, 14-year old girls?

Mouse in top of k-board is stupid, ethernet plug on a cell phone is useless and the rest of the phone?
This is a joke

FAIL. This thing hasn't got anywhere near enough useless buttons on it. The screen is too big as well. How could they forget the 10Base-2 BNC connector?
