A true iPhone KIRF running Windows XP may still be the stuff of dreams -- crazy, fevered dreams -- but it looks like we now have the next best thing: the iPhone-ish Shanshui P72. Boasting a 7-inch WVGA screen, this MID-sized device packs a 1.2GHz VIA C7-M processor, 1GB of RAM, 16GB or 32GB of storage, WiFi and 3G connectivity, built-in GPS, and no less than three USB ports, which will let you attach a keyboard and mouse for an authentic Windows XP experience. Sadly, there's no indication of pricing or availability, but you can check it out in action in the video after the break, and get an extensive look at the device at the source link below.
Man, thats one confused KIRF.
@SolidSnake. It's almost as confused as the Ty-Fighter Enterprise that i met on my way back from the Tom Tom recording session
@Lord Vader Tie-Fighter Enterprise would be awesome. Make it so.
@Lord Vader
*Tie Fighter
You are losing your touch, my lord.
@SolidSnake
I had a real hard time following the interview.
@SolidSnake. No, that is what the KIRF was called. I know my own starships are called Tie-Fighters, Commander
@SolidSnake
I know some here do want it. Cmon, Admit it.
@SolidSnake
that joke flew over your head just like the kirfy ty-fighters just did, eeeerrrrrrrrrrroooooom
@SolidSnake Am I the only one who would want something like this to play around with?
@Lord Vader Your commander is not so sharp, my lord.
@SolidSnake
These kirfs just keep getting better and better!
As Always...Should've been the ipad :DDD
@Alexpeegs
Does that thing come with a Linux app or what was that icon with the penguin? lol
@SeeKo The penguin icon is QQ. The most popular IM here in China.
@SeeKo Thats the icon for chinese IM program called QQ.
They need to come out with a good pager.
XP and SSD dont play well together
Wow, talk about missing the mark haha..
omfg look at it, a frikken KIRF BRICK
Wow. Now that's one huge iPhone.. :0
Looks like both OS are on it...?
It is pretty cool though.
You should be embarrassed if you ever secretly desired anything like that!
@who said what Agreed its like frankenstein, build of used parts
hmmm.... "your computer is at risk" lol. How do you install virus protection. Also... I bet the battery last 10mins lol.
@ghostdog
I dunno, from the size of the bloody thing it could have a pretty substantial battery in there. Heck, it could have an iPhone in there!
Man... and I thought the iPad was just a giant iPhone...
It is.
This is the better version.
Its also a huge pile of crap.
Me laughs so hard til my stomach hurts! It got good specs but no thanks!
Oh my that ipad can run windows...
oh... wait....
The pic for the article made it look like an iPhone but at a size of maybe 5 inches or so... the video revealed that it's actual a weapon..
Some KIRF manufacturer took the iPad giant-iPhone-joke a bit too seriously.
USB+External DVD Drive= Windows 7 any ideas?
So this oversized KIRF iPhone has 3 USB ports, and my 15 inch Macbook Pro only has 2. hmmm. :/
@mukatuna
This is blasphemy!
iPhone? What iPhone? This is the gIanTphone.
man if I were the guy I would be seriously embarrassed. That things looks ridiculous.
Although somehow I think he didn't design it. That was probably one of the Apple prototype designs for the iPad at one point. The fella probably took it and installed XP on.
Oh Snap! You could actually sync your iPad and iPhone to this... Perspective...
Does it play Crysis?
When I read the story I thought it was going to be shit so then I watched the video and confirmed it.
Having said that I love KRIF stuff.
Awesome.
Hey! It runs Flash!
Does he have a Dr Tran MSN avatar? lol
