You see, the name "xpPhone" is rather
disingenuous here. At first glance, you may assume that you're about to discover what's likely the planet's first cellular telephone to run a full-fledged version of Windows XP. Sadly, we've got to slot the device shown above squarely into the MID category -- GSM support be darned. Still, we can't help but applaud the engineering efforts; after all, this thing somehow packs an AMD CPU, 1GB of RAM, a 64GB SSD, 4.8-inch 800 x 480 touchpanel, WiFi, various cell radios, a 1.3 megapixel camera and a battery good for five solid hours of use into a device barely larger than the average, yawn-inducing
MID found in every last corner of
Computex. In fact, it's so impressive that we're beginning to question its authenticity as a real, working product. Much like the number of licks to the center of a Tootsie Pop, the world may never know.

Is that just a Vista skin then or is it maybe running Windows Vista?
The build quality doesn't seem to be so great, but I would definitely spring for one of these in the future. I'd like to see some comparison shots to see how big it actually is...
Fuck me, thiis thing is MASSIVE, defies the whole notion of being a phone..... Still some poor sod may actually get off on this.
