PDA France dug up some details about the HTC Galaxy, a new GPS-enabled Pocket PC from HTC (their first, in fact) that looks to be about the same size as the HTC Magician and that runs Windows Mobile 5.0 and has a 300MHz processor, 64MB of Flash ROM, 32MB of RAM, a 2.8-inch, 320 x 240 pixel LCD screen, Bluetooth, WiFi, and an SDIO expansion card slot. Odd to see HTC pumping out something which isn't also a cellphone, but they've probably figured out from their Taiwanese brothers-in-ODM that there's actually some decent money in dedicated GPS handhelds. Won't be out until around the end of year.
UPDATE: Ok, this might actually be a Pocket PC Phone, but there's no mention of what networks it's
compatible with.

HuH?
it -IS- a pdaphone (check the wording of the original article in pdafrance). And it should be out before the end of the year (Sep-Dec 2005).
This looks like the actual first "all in one" holy grail of PDA's. GPS, cellphone, bluetooth, wifi, sdio, and the much-awaited WM5. The only question is, IS THERE A CAMERA INVOLVED?
Otherwise, holy grail of all-in-one convergence.
YES!
Is this going to take 6 months' salary to buy though?
R. Scobles got a good video over at CHannel 9 of it and the team
Full technical specifications of HTC Galaxy posted on http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=125316
Price indication: 254.95 UK pounds (uhmm I don't believe this is a right quotation price, but see the website for yourself.)
Nick, too bad it's not a cellphone, otherwise it would be the phone I've been looking for all my life!
On a seperate note, I think HTC phones/pdas should be modified somehow not to work outside the U.S. to keep Limeys and other Europeans from using it. Haha.
