If you have never heard of Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edtion before, you'll be probably very pleased.

All screenshots you will see are taken from SDK for Pocket PC which is already being available for developers. I don't think that there will be a lot of major changes in the final system, but that depends mainly on the manufacturers. | |

Although PCs may provide most of Nvidia’s near-term revenues, the company also remains focused on cell-phone and PDA opportunities that last year’s acquisition of MediaQ enabled it to pursue. Nvidia has, at least for the moment, shelved MediaQ’s ARM core-inclusive chips but is continuing the development of multimedia coprocessors. The latest products include the GoForce 3000, targeting $149 cell phones, and the higher end GoForce 4000 for fuller featured $199 phones. GoForce 3000 embeds 320 kbytes of SRAM, interfaces to 2 million-pixel camera modules, hardware-accelerates 2- and 3-D graphics functions, and decodes CIF-resolution MPEG-4 Simple Profile and H.263 video streams at 30 frames/sec. GoForce 4000 doubles the amount of embedded memory over its lower end sibling and adds CIF-resolution, 30-frame/sec video-encoding capabilities, along with 3 million-pixel still-camera support. Nvidia has its work cut out for it; the market for handheld multimedia accelerators is quickly becoming crowded. Intel’s (www.intel.com) 2700G, previously code-named Marathon, is a formidable foe, especially when the company bundles it with the latest generation PXA270 XScale processors. | |
