The people from Eten have developed a new Pocket PC named X500, which combines features from its predecessors, the G500 and the M600. It has the GPS technology from the G500 and the M600 Wi-Fi, and many from the features found in all other previous Eten devices.

The feature list of this quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE handset is pretty big and it goes something like this: Windows Mobile 5.0 for Pocket PC, running on a Samsung 2442 400 Mhz processor, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g, GPS support through a SirfStarIII chipset, a QVGA TFT-LCD touchscreen display, Bluetooth 2.0 wireless connectivity, FM radio tuner, a 2 megapixel camera with auto-focus function, 64 MB RAM and 128 MB ROM, and a microSD expansion memory card slot.

If it also had 3G connectivity and more internal RAM and ROM built-in memory, this would have been the perfect Eten device, but probably this will spoil all the fun on discussion boards. Who will have anything to object then?

After all of this that has been said, we just have to wait and see if Eten will make our day by changing the specification sheet (to be read "upgrading the specification sheet").
