ViewSonic Making Smartphone That Runs Win XP
Forget Windows Mobile, this is XP.

Smartphones have changed the way that we browse the web (and perhaps what you read in the bathroom). So far we've always had a different experience using our phones than our PCs due to both hardware and software differences.
Soon, there will be a solution for those of you who want the mobility of a smartphone coupled with a full desktop OS will want to keep an eye on the ViewSonic PC Phone VCP08.
A translated report from a Chinese source indicates that the ViewSonic phone will have an Intel low-voltage CPU, 512MB RAM, 8 GB storage space with microSD support, a 4.3-inch TFT touch panel, a QWERTY full keyboard and even mouse buttons.
Unsubsidized pricing is estimated at $800.
This isn't the first smartphone to boast Windows XP software. Back in September, we learned of the xpPhone, which shares many of the same characteristics as the ViewSonic PC Phone VCP08.

An EEPROM? An Atom processor? A pentium 4? A core 2 quad? An I7? A LV Xeon?
Intel makes many parts, and many different types of processors.
Think about what you are saying. Apple putting a Microsoft operating system on one of their most successful items of all time. Apple would never do that, they are far too stuck up to do that.
What I am trying to say is: Can you keep the phone part hardware independent of the Windows XP part?
I don't even want to think about it what with the small size of the screen and the tech support nightmares just trying to keep everything on it completely up to date and trying to keep Malware and other parasites of of it.
I can just see it now, go to accept a call and get a BSOD.
I should hope there would be a provision to physically connect this phone to a network so one can do a Remote Desktop Connection directly just to make tech support easier.
- Yeah, you bet I'm paranoid,
I don't even own a cell phone cause of how much I hate them
WILL IT PLAY CRYSIS?!?!
there is nothing over priced about it. Its the same price as ANY smart phone sold today.
Are you incapable of common sense at all? i highlt doubt any of thoise cpus will be in a phone. The cpu however really irrelavent it will just likely be the same as any other smart phone.. about 700mhz could be under clocked to 500 like most others untill they realise how slow it is.
perhaps but the reason i personaly want a xp phone is functionality. All these limited apple and linux phones out now (aka droid) are so damn limited on what i can put on them right now. I would love to see what freedome on a phone would be like with a real OS running it.
