We hesitate to give much credence to a company with such a notorious reputatation for announcing products which are
still years off from becoming a reality (we love the smell of vapor in the morning), but our old friends over at
Neonode claim that they're coming
out with a new cellphone with built-in WiFi that can automatically switch back and forth between wireless access points
and wider GSM networks. They're light on any of the other details about the new handset, like which operating system
it's going to run on (probably some flavor of Windows CE, just like the
Neonode N1, which is pictured at right), but they do say
they're planning to introduce the phone sometime in the second half of this year.
