ITG xpPhone Smartphone Running Windows XP, 4.8-in TFT Touchscreen, AMD Super Mobile CPU, Slider Full QWERTY Keyboard

So how would you like to have your very own smartphone running Windows
XP? And I'm not talking about some diluted version of the real deal, I'm
talking about a full-fledged all the bells and whistles (and bugs)
version of Windows XP on a device that's just about the size of a
large-screen smartphone. I'm pretty sure that China's ITG is betting
that you'll want one as bad as they want to make them. ITG has just
started taking pre-orders for their xpPhone, which they are claiming is
the world's first conversion device that combines a full-function PC,
smartphone, GPS, and Internet terminal into a handheld unit.
The xpPhone is the branchild of a little-known Chinese manufacturer
called the In Technology Group, and it really does seem too good to be
true. From what can be gathered from the company's new English-friendly
website it appears to be a truly pimped-out Windows XP communications
and mobile computing device. According to the specs, the xpPhone is
powered by an AMD Super Mobile CPU and comes standard with 512MB of
memory (apparently upgradeable to 1GB). The display is a 4.8-in TFT
touchscreen that offers 800×480 resolution and on-board storage
includes both HDD (30G/60G/80G/120G) and SSD (8G/16G/32G/64G) together
in the same unit.
Completing the package are pretty robust network compatibility with
support for GSM/GPRS/EDGE/WCDMA (HSDPA/HSUPA), CDMA/CDMA2000 1X/CDMA1X
EVDO,TD-SCDMA, and TD-HSDPA. As for its wireless connectivity, the
xpPhone comes with integrated 802.11b/g, Bluetooth and optional WiMax.
It also supports stand-alone GPS and has a less-than-impressive 1.3MP
camera.

As of now there is no pricing information to be seen. ITG is taking
pre-orders on their website for AT T, Vodaphone, and Orange so it
appears as if they are gauging external interest before opening the
throttle. We'll wait and see on this one, folks. Let's just say we
aren't holding our breath. You can check out the whole story at
