Motorola's leaked A1200 smartphone

Although it's unlikely we'll be saying "hello" to this Moto stateside anytime soon, the still-under-development A1200 seems like a design that could be popular in the US, although the similarly-styled A728 remains Asia-only as well. This 95 gram (that's lighter than a RAZR), keypad-less smartphone does all the usual email, web browsing, and document editing functions, along with playing a supposed 10 different multimedia file types. Perhaps the nicest feature is the 2 megapixel cam, which doubles as a business card scanner for impressing all those important players you meet. Some of us can get our scan-on starting in January, for an unknown price.

I assume it runs Linux?

I assume it links to my TivO?



I assume it runs Photoshop?



I assume it holograms all my porn?



I assume it teleports back from 2010 when a real convergence device will actually show up?

How is a "business card scanner" going to "impress all those important players?"



"Thanks for the card....just a sec....just a sec...OK, you can have your card back now."



Wha...?

How does the business scanner work?

[stridermt2k Posted Dec 22nd 2005 9:53PM]

That's pretty cool looking.

It would be the perfect upgrade from my Clie TH55/Cell phone combo too!

I think it's quite attractive. It's clean and straightforward, as opposed to the busy, mechanical, angular look of most smartphones.

Looks a bit (at least in shape-cover) like the PalmOS powered QDA700 from Qool Labs Inc.

I like this one. The transparent cover is cool. I almost bought the previous one in the series which is really popular here in China, but since i have a Palm TE already, went with the SE w550c instead.

I still don't have a cell phone, but I would buy this!
