It's Official: i-mate Ultimate 8502 & 9502

"Those two rather dashing new models in i-mate's off-again, on-again Ultimate line that we peeped all the way back at CTIA last fall are finally official. The 9502, undoubtedly the more interesting of the pair, is almost Sidekick-ish in its design, featuring a VGA touchscreen that slides to the side to reveal a full QWERTY keyboard. The 8502 meanwhile makes do with a more traditional form factor, sticking the QWERTY pad below the 2.6 inch QVGA display up front."
When word first leaked out regarding the 8502 and 9502, there was a bit of confusion about them as they were not on i-mate's device road map, much less part of the Ultimate line-up. Now that they are, it feels a bit of an anti-climax. That shouldn't lessen your interest, though! If you care for the hardware side of things, this pair has all the goodies.
