BPhone looks like a netbook, acts like a netbook, has 'phone' in its name (video)

If you were looking for a large and impractical "cellphone," we just might have some news for you. Hot on the heels of a certain Dell netbook mod, we submit for your approval a 5-inch convertible device that features a QWERTY chocolate keyboard, trackball, and quite possibly Windows XP. We've got no relevant data for you, such as manufacturer, price, and release date are all mysteries at this point, but you can see it in action if you like -- just check out the videos after the break. As for us, we think we'll just wait for the xpPhone.

For a netbook, that certainly is small. Although, I must say that I don't really like it. I would rather have a netbook, or an actual phone.

@LeifAndersen

Agree. This thing looks incredibly unresponsive and useless. At least the Massive Dell Phone mod was hilarious, if not impressive.

Put a TI OMAP 3xxx cpu in it, Android as the OS, T-Mobile USA 2g/3g, and I might be interested. Esp. if it has VGA out, USB host ports (I couldn't tell from the text, and I'm not able to check the videos right now), at least 750MB RAM and 1GB storage.

If this is actually Netbook (x86) hardware, then I like it. It would make a nice replacement for my Fujitsu U.
If it's just an ARM or similar, then I'll pass.
