Compulab’s Exeda turns convergence on its head by being the most retro gadget that was inspired by Google’s Android mobile OS. The Exeda can also run on WinMo 6.1 and powered by a 520 MHz Marvell CPU and 128 MB of RAM. It’s a touchscreen with QWERTY keypad. This should be a sizable device as [...]

After introducing a bunch of new models for the US market, it’s not much of a stretch to call iRiver the Nokia of the PMP industry.
