If there’s a gadget in the world that can beat the iPhone it will be Japanese made. Come July 18, we’ll have a close look at Sophia Nani , a touch screen phone and multi-media device. It runs on Windows CE, powered by a 600 Mhz RMI Alchemy Au1250 processor. The 4.3-inch TFT touchscreen has a WVGA 800 x 400-pixel resolution. If you’re thinking this phone has PMP form factor, it might very well be a PMP (with a phone attached) playing all sorts of video and audio files including WM Player 10. It has two cameras, a VGA one in front and an SVGA (800 x 600 pixels) at the back. Besides that the Nani connects to the internet via Wi-Fi 802.11b/g, we don’t know much about the wireless speeds this device is capable of, although knowing it’s Japanese, we can expect 3G speeds at its slowest.
Now, I know “nani” in Japanese means “what,” yes as in, What? So, I’m hoping this isn’t a hoax.

[...] Sophia Nani har flott skjerm Ny iPhone-konkurrent klar for verden. Dato: 16.07 2007 Tekst: Karin Aas dingz.no: I følge nettstedet gizmodo dukker det snart opp en ny iPhone-konkurrent i Japan. Telefonen går under navnet Sophia Nani og gjør seg bemerket med en stor, trykkfølsom skjerm på 4,3 tommer med oppløsning på 800 x 400 piksler. I likhet med iPhone og HTC Touch vil den ikke være utstyrt med taster. Du må dermed trykke direkte på skjermen for å manøvrere deg rundt i menyene. Les mer under annonsen [annonse] ord=Math.random()*10000000000000000; document.write(”); Tagger:mobiltelefon iphone Telefonen er utstyrt med to kameraer. I front finner du et VGA-kamera, mens baksiden skjuler et kamera med SVGA-oppløsning. Du kan koble den opp mot internett og surfe nyhetssider og sjekke epost ved hjelp av Wi-Fi-støtten. Windows er valgt som operativsystem og du kan fylle mobilen med musikk og video for å gjøre buss- eller togturen kortere. Alle filer som overføres lagres på et microSD-minnekort. Sannsynligheten er stor for japanerne ikke kommer til å dele telefonen med resten av verden. Vi må med andre ord klare oss med bildene. Prisen er foreløpig ikke kjent. Den kinesiske produsenten Meizu har også forsøkt seg på en iPhone-klone. Den kan du lese mer om her. Kilde: pmptoday [...]

A lot of ignorant people have commented on the choice of Windows CE.
Windows CE has Internet Explorer 6, not the wimply Windows Mobile browser.
With the nice-sized screen, browsing will be a pleasure on this device.
