xpPhone teased with specs and pictures, makes Windows XP young again

Don't panic, we haven't gone back in time. What we're looking at here is the world's first but still-yet-to-be-released phone that runs on Windows XP, and its Chinese maker has just released some juicy specs and interface images to tease us all. The ITG xpPhone will be blessed with the chutzpah-filled AMD "Super Mobile" CPU, coupled with either 512MB or 1GB RAM. Storage options range from 8GB SSD to 120GB HDD (probably 1.8-inch) and everything in between. While the sheet confirms both GSM and CDMA support, ITG's pre-order page -- which looks more like a newsletter sign-up page at the moment -- is still vague on the phone's availability and price. For now we'll just continue to gaze at the interface pictures until something happens.

May we vote for the most useless gadget?

So basically, after 9 years of Microsoft failing to make Windows run on mobiles, we ended up having to make a mobile that runs Windows...

what are the dimensions of the phone again?i think the screen may be just a tiny bit too small(for me) but it looks like we will have to wait and see..

What's with the tiny little screen? Half the face is grey plastic...if they put a nice, hi-res screen on that thing, it would be a lot more interesting.

I'm trying to imagine how XP could be steered with a touch based interface, specially over a small resisistive screen and I'not liking it a bit
