It would really be nice if this were true: "256 ROM, 1280 RAM"
---

I think they meant to say "128 mb ROM".
It looks very similar to "upcomming imate ultimate 7150"

Hope the external screen has a caller ID. This was one of the biggest gripes for the Universal.
I also see no call accept / reject buttons on the outside. Does this mean that for accepting a new call the lid will have to be opened??. But I hope I am wrong.
The screen looks flush with the casing just as on the HTC Touch. Possibily this also has touch flo techlology.
The design looks attractive unlike the Universal which was a bit on the ugly side.
Regards

"I also see no call accept / reject buttons on the outside"
suspect it's because it's more of ucpc then a phone
and about ultimate then hope they do get released to give htc some serious compatition which is always healthy
but i still have a fear that they are vapor

4 inch wide screen 800 x480 pxls will have 16M colors rite....
If it is ....then it will be fun.....may be the first windows PPC offering 16M colors...

I checked out the slide and it says 256 ROM and 128 (!) RAM, not 1280. Too bad, but not the end of the world. I'm stilling loving this device

What happened to the Sony Clie?

I can remember back in the day when I first set my eyes on the UX50. What a beauty I thought and even now, 6 years on, I still look at it and think what if they had continued the line.
I thought the clam-shell design was very functional with its swivel screen and camera. Everything on it just seemed so right. Imagine how one would look now with the technology of this day and age. A big bright OLED screen filling out the front of the device, great graphics, blistering speed with a slim form factor and space for a full sized physical keyboard etc.
I really believe they made a mistake when they announced that they would discontinue the device. If they were to make a new similar device I know for sure that I be one of the first to snap it up.
So what do you guys think of a new PDA/phone coming out with a clam-shell, swivel screen action design?

Xperia ZX (MY CONCEPT)

i thought i'd share my concept on a xperia phone i made today it's done in paint so nothing amazing it just roughly show my ideas and wishes on improving the xperia z
first off i want stereo front speakers behind grills the grills in the picture have too big holes i want them ore invisible
second i want a amoled screen due to it's ability to show true black meaning onscreen buttons will look like they aren't part of the screen i also want full onscreen button customization like changing size icons colors and placement either top bottom right or left side
another idea i had would be a sidescreen which would be a thin oled screen acting as notifications and able to show solid colors like a light stripe
the xperia logo in the below picture is also not thin enough or invisible enough but i want it in the corner not the middle
i also want the phone in either both glass and aluminium or aluminium like the htc one
here is a picture i did in paint on my ideas

shape may not be exactly as i want but it was hard to do in paint i maybe want it abit more square
another idea i got was having a slideout oled screen that could act as anything but mainly a gamepad for games
this is how it all started when i was bored
i shared all this on my facebook and many liked my ideas so i thought i'd share them with more people just for fun

NFC shortcut button

Remember the good old days of qwerty keyboard phones? If yes then i'm sure you also remember the shortcut buttons that they had. Devices such as HP jornada 720, or nokia e90, they all had hardware buttons that allows you to jump directly from one application to another without forcing you to access the task manager.

}
However, because qwerty keyboard phones are no longer produced, those buttons will never appear again.
But there is a way.
The NFC technology allows you to program a nfc tag to launch a specific application. So what I did was to get some nfc tags, take one, cut its anthenna, and stick a button on the cut, so the tag will only be activated when I press the button.
More details on how I did it here: http://simpledevices.blogspot.ro/2015/11/nfc-shortcut-button.html
The plan is to mount a similar button to the next of the nfc tags, and place them behind the silicon case of the phone, each tag will be programmed with a specific application, just like the shortcuts of the old devices.

I bought a couple of Dimple.io buttons which work in the exact same way (and really well I might add), but until I finally got them (ungh, Kickstarter), I had customized everything to my liking with Xposed Additions and had no more use for the physical buttons

This is a good idea.

New Interface for Android?

OUKITEL K4000 has blew a gust wind of testing the hardness of smartphones by hammer
and knock nails into wood. Now K4000 is getting a new version that no other smartphones
has done before.

The main features of this new version are as follows:
First, concise arrangement of applications. Besides the 3 fixed APPs at the bottom screen,
there are only 6 APPs on one interface. This gives larger area for each application.
is this real? will this come in other phones too?

1. It’s a brand new concise version, which can offer more convenient handling steps and much
more concise visual effect with customized bigger fonts and bigger APP image design.
2. Of course, you can go to the Settings for even larger text size and APP images.
3. Click to Settings, it can be easily changed between the max interface and the original interface.
