Socket SoMo 650 Pocket PC
The upcoming SoMo 650 by Socket may be an unexpectedly powerful competitor in the realm of Pocket PCs. Though it only runs Windows Mobile 5.0, it has a 624MHz Intel processor, 128MB of RAM, and 256MB of onboard storage. Also remarkable is its expansion slots, which support SDIO and CompactFlash rather than the likes of microSD. Connection options include USB, Bluetooth 2.0 and 802.11b/g; reflecting the business audience, optional accessories involve a barcode scanner and an RFID reader. Still unknown however is what networks the phone will operate on, and whether it will have a touchscreen or a QWERTY keyboard. The 650 should ship in the second quarter for $648.
