You Got the LOOX

Fujitsu Siemens makes its big play for the high-end PDA biz next week with the official 'launch' of the Pocket LOOX.

Retailing at an expected EUR699 (EX-VAT), the LOOX is Wintel through and through - it uses an Intel ARM-based XScale processor and Microsoft Pocket 2002 OS. There's no shipping date yet, beyond "sometime in Q2".

The Pocket LOOX has a welter of connectivity options, including WLAN, accessed through a Compact Flash Card slot type II. It's also supplied with an integrated Bluetooth Module; and a plug-in GPRS module complete with own battery for full mobile phone functionality is pencilled for shipment in July. Surely this enough for any road warrior/desktop synchronisation combo?
