On chinese market this mix of mobile and pc is doing a bunch of people wonder what this is able.
I think that the most interesting is that it support skype and has vga output.

It:
Support the global three major 3G standards, MSN/Skype/QQ free video calls, various stock/futures/foreign exchange software, numerous external devices, GPS real-time traffic, more than 500 kinds of video/audio formats, all internet banking and third-party payment platforms, such as Alipay, direct access to Outlook address book (synchronization free).

Although it had all the bug of the usual XP OS.
Will it have a dedicated crtl+alt+del button? (just a old joke)

geez!

Is that a joke? If this thing can do everything it says, it will be awesome, but you know what? I don't belive advertisements anymore! :P

The HTC HD2 (Leo) weighs 150+ grams; the Nokia N900 about 180 grams...this thing weighs 400??? You might break your jaw if you're too fast to answer an urgent call.

For the moment, though, it has all the hallmarks of vaporware.

its possible to make, its just shoving as much hardware as you can find into a small body, but louis is right, its pretty much vaporware for now.

"xpPhone now also to Run Windows 7"

"There will also be HDD versions (we believed they’d only come out with SSD ones) The price, starting at $500, will top at $700. Read on for the specs and options of the xpPhone."

Thats got to be one big brick, i find it hard to imagine any device that can support full windows to be light in physical weight or anything we may accept as being light for a mobile phones

Sometimes too many bells and whistles take a product away from what its supposed to do.

I'm still in "believe it when I see it" mode; so far only more features/more superlatives announcements, some PS renderings, and a dummy mockup at a trade fair earlier this year.

Its like having a really slow netbook, but handheld :P

i bet it would take 5 mins to turn on

This looks pretty interesting, actually. Looks kind of like an attempt to revive to UMPC market, using high-end networking and portable components instead of low-end notebook components, keeping the price a bit lower, and being able to toe the line between UMPC and netbook on the larger models. Aside from the battery life, it actually looks like it might even be able to live up to those rated specs.

I also love how they're actually trying to come up with some sort of mobile phone integration instead of something like Skype, that's what needed to happen to keep first-generation UMPCs alive. The only problem is that even with the SSD's speed, it'll take 1-2 minutes for the whole device OS to boot, whereas the GSM functions should be ready to go in the first 30 seconds. Maybe with a switch to quick-boot a secondary low-function OS for GSM functions if you really needed to make a call right that minute, but that almost seems too high-end for a $700 device.

it's kind of sad that this device is all pretty much conjecture. Hell, I'm not even sure if there's such a thing as a lightweight AMD CPU, but I suppose they need something to combat the Atom. Even if this makes it past conjecture stage, and moves at the speed of low-end Chinese manufacturing processes, I don't see any retail availability for this anytime before 2011. Hell, look at the OpenPandora; the original release for that was supposed to be Fall 2007, and they're just now finalizing the first couple hundred devices to ship out. It's also a bit of a shame that this thing is just too damn big to be a smartphone, but for business people who need web availability and a phone at once I suppose this would be a viable option.
