A Chinese company says it will bring the yet-to-be-released Windows 8 to the small screen.
In Technology Group has seemingly dedicated itself to merging the Windows PC experience with the smartphone–something the company has dubbed the “post-smartphone.” They started with phones running Windows XP a few years ago, and by earlier this year, ITG’s XPPhone was available with Windows 7. Now it says a far slimmer, lighter, and energy efficient XPPhone 2 that will run both Windows 7 and the PC version of Windows 8 (once it’s released) is in the works.
Though it seems doubtful to me that many consumers will find a need for so much Windows in their pocket, ITG has made sure to pack the XPPhone 2 with the meaty hardware to pull it off. This beast will boast a 1.6GHz processor and 2GB of RAM. ITG’s Web site also mentions the possibility of an insane 2GHz model. There’s also plenty of storage space to house Microsoft’s notoriously bulky OSes, with 112GB on board.
ITG is billing the XPPhone 2 not just as a phone but as the “smallest notebook PC in the world,” measuring 140mm X 73mm X 17.5mm. The pitch is basically that the phone is easily dockable and can stand in for a laptop, desktop and in-car navigation system.
The success of this kind of a device will likely depend on it being at least more usable than the English translation of its press release, which requires several aspirin to navigate, with sentences like: “The Editor considers that, presently it forms three camps of smart phone in the way of tripartite confrontation–The Apple, Google & Moto, and Intel & Microsoft & xpPhone, of which stands for three complete different technical orientations.”
Let’s hope they took the money they saved on their translator and put it into engineering. Engadget reports that we could see an XPPhone 2 release as soon as January.
