Yet Another Pocket PC Phone Edition 2003 Device

[Pony99CA]

Here's another entry into the crowded Pocket PC Phone Edition market. The Asus My 8100 will have Windows Mobile 2003, what appears to be a sliding keyboard and Bluetooth.

The source link will give you a bit more information, but there aren't many details available. So what do you think? Is the Pocket PC Phone Edition market getting too crowded? Share your thoughts in the discussion.

Is that sliding or flipping keypad?
I'm loving Pocket PC Phone Edition. It's the wave of the future. :)
In the US each carrier only officially supports one Pocket PC Phone Edition. I don't think that's crowded. I'd say it's a bit lonely.

Good question. I assumed it was a sliding keyboard, similar to the LG Pocket PC Phone (http://pocketnow.com/index.php?a=portal_detail&t=news&id=1926) I posted about on October 21. Looking at it more closely, it could be a flip keyboard.

I suppose if you only look at the U.S. carrier-by-carrier, that's a valid point. But look at all the news about Pocket PC Phones lately.
