PiTech's I-10: 3 megapixel Palmphone
Dear Treo, why must
competitors constantly step up to dethrone you? Coming at you from the left is
Nokia’s 9500 Communicator, on your right is the
PPC-6700, and just over the horizon are the
Motorola Q, the
E61 “Nokiaberry,��? and now an impressive new entrant
from PiTech, the Garnet-powered I-10. Up to this point, the only time we’d heard of PiTech (Portable Innovation
Technology Limited) was through their Qool
QDA-700-esque reference design (pictured), but the
I-10 promises to be a real product that may bring some genuine innovations, not the least of which is the built-in
three megapixel camera. The cam also features auto focus and anti-shake compensation, and can capture video in
MPEG-4, with playback possible through a 2.2-inch screen. No more details are available at this point, and until we
hear some processor and memory specs, and especially some words like “WiFi,��? “Bluetooth,��? and “EVDO,��? we’re gonna
wait to pass judgment on this one.
From the Qool people. Sounds good, but we'll reserve judgment until they actually release something.
