PiTech's I-10: 3 megapixel Palmphone

Dear Treo, why must competitors constantly step up to dethrone you? Coming at you from the left is Nokia's 9500 Communicator, on your right is the PPC-6700, and just over the horizon are the Motorola Q, the E61 "Nokiaberry," and now an impressive new entrant from PiTech, the Garnet-powered I-10. Up to this point, the only time we'd heard of PiTech (Portable Innovation Technology Limited) was through their Qool QDA-700-esque reference design (pictured), but the I-10 promises to be a real product that may bring some genuine innovations, not the least of which is the built-in three megapixel camera. The cam also features auto focus and anti-shake compensation, and can capture video in MPEG-4, with playback possible through a 2.2-inch screen. No more details are available at this point, and until we hear some processor and memory specs, and especially some words like "WiFi," "Bluetooth," and "EVDO," we're gonna wait to pass judgment on this one.
