HKC has announced two new Pocket PCs, the W1000 and G1000. Both pocket PCs sport dual sim with an added hotkey for accessing stock market information. Business individuals who are always on the go would certainly find any one of these pocket PC’s useful for their needs.
Both W1000 and G1000 feature 2.8-inch QVGA touchscreen with 6.5M color, 256MB ROM and 64MB RAM, Microsoft Windows Mobile 6 for Pocket PC, support for SMS, MMS and EMS, and data storage can be supplemented by microSD cards.
The W1000 runs on 200MHz Qualcomm 6025 CPU while the G1000 runs on 200MHz Dragonfly CPU. One difference between the two pocket PC is that the W1000 works on GPRS, EDGE and CDMA, while the G1000 works only with GPRS and EDGE.
Don’t expect to find Wi-Fi or GPS capabilities in both either model though, as you won’t find any. But HKC has still managed to throw in a couple of nifty features to make the W1000 and G1000 pocket PC’s worthy of competing with the iPhone. These include; 2.0-megapixel built-in camera, integrated Word, Excel and PowerPoint applications, Bluetooth and an mp3 player.
The W1000 and G1000 are now available in the Chinese market. The fact that HKC is releasing two identical versions of the Pocket PC with very few minor differences seem to point to the possibility that one of the two models is being geared for an international release. Let’s hope so, as the iphone certainly needs a worthy if not lame competitor.
