Clio NXT: Aaaaaaalmost Ready for Release (Perhaps)
Posted by Jonathon Watkins in "NEWS" @ 04:00 PM
". . .[T]he Clio NXT was (is?) the successor to the cult 1998-released WinCE laptop/tablet which is said to feature Windows CE.NET 5.0 (yes, CE), a 10.4-inch, 800 x 600 touchscreen LCD with 180-degree pivot, WiFi, 64MB SDRAM and 64MB Flash memory, a near full-size QWERTY keyboard, and a smattering of connectivity and expansion options including SD card slots, PCMCIA, USB, a headphone jack, mic, and video out. . . . [W]e received a press release stating that Duke University's Fuqua School of Business will serve as "beta site" for the NXT . . . That's it -- no price . . . no expected start date for this beta program, let alone a revised ship date... nothin'. In a market now flooded with reasonably priced tablets, UMPCs, and dirt cheap laptops, we're feeling, well, a bit jaded ourselves."
Ho hum. We posted about this device a few times in 2004 and it's *still* not been released yet? That's not just missing the boat, that's not even getting within a hundred miles of the water! :P Having said that, the spec still seems to stand up even in 2006. I would hope that they would at least offer Windows CE 6.0 as an option. Heck, at this rate they can offer Windows CE 16.0 as an option. :devilboy:
