i-mate JAMin Pocket PC Phone
– Bob Marley INTRODUCTION Ever since I bought the JAMin I havn’t been able to get that song out of my head, but frankly, I’m mighty proud to be jammin’!

From Pocket PC Thoughts… The HP iPAQ rw6800 series has just been announced in Asia (though, no word yet on a release in other parts of the world). Its specs are very similar to that of the O2 Xda Atom – that is, an Intel PXA272 416MHz processor, 64MB RAM, 128MB ROM, a QVGA (240 x 320) 262K-colour TFT-LCD, a miniSD slot, miniUSB, dual stereo speakers, tri-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE support, Bluetooth 1.2, 802.11b Wi-Fi (rw6828 only), …
