So the first few days at Computex behind. Visitors were greeted by torrential rain, 30 degrees, but also a traditional good-natured hospitality of the hosts.
Am encouraged by the fact that the event this year is rich on innovations in mobile technology. Since the exhibition is in full swing, we offer you the kind of fotodaydzhest happening, and a full material, as usual, we will prepare for the end of the Computex 2007.
Microsoft
Much to the delight of editorial HPC.ru and, hopefully, to your, our dear readers, the version of Microsoft Taiwan, the stand has turned almost completely mobile. Windows Embedded occupies almost the entire exhibition sector, Microsoft and goes beyond it in the form of inscriptions on the backs of the promo girls. That is the stand of Microsoft you can find many new items WM, including the O2 XDA Flame, Gigabyte GSmart t600, as well as models from beginners, but all of them will tell later.
HTC, ASUS
Unfortunately, the most interesting and new companies have demonstrated in another exhibition, CeBIT, held in the spring in Germany. HTC introduced its gentlemen's set - HTC S710, HTC P3300 and HTC P3600.
Asus is equipped with stand models Asus P735, Asus P526, Asus M530w, GPS-PDA Asus A696, as well as a pair of navigators (PND). Note that some models are equipped with processors, Marvell (ex-Intel).

OKWAP
Honored ODM-maker Inventec, a long time engaged in the development of devices for companies such as i-Mate, Palm (Treo), decided to follow by HTC and go to market with a certain set of communicators under its own brand OKWAP. Earlier this brand produced only cell phones for the Chinese market. At Computex 2007 are 3 models. OKWAP K869, OKWAP K871 and OKWAP K868 plus. Model OKWAP K869 - technologically well-charged communicator with a full set of GSM standards, the latest versions of Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. Built trehmegapikselnaya camera with auto focus in addition to its direct function allows you to record and recognize barcodes - flat and 2D.

Somewhat controversial point is the original technology to replace the traditional five-way switch. Leading on the touch area around the button "Ok", you can control the communicator. If you click on the picture figures like the button, then, accordingly, dial the number. But take your finger off the sensor at the same time be fully and without sliding, as the input focus can move to the next field or button. That is to dial a number or text in here the touch does not work. Definitely for sure the possession of skill will take time, however, may have to be patient, it will be possible to achieve high speed with the device.

Build quality at first glance the average. Make allowances for the fact that the start of production of this device is scheduled for early December, however, as so often with engineering samples, we have a functioning model rather than a final product.
The main characteristics of the OKWAP K869: - Windows Mobile 6 Professional

Practically does not lag behind in performance and capabilities and OKWAP K871. Unlike the previous model K871 is equipped with a QWERTY keyboard, which is mixed with individual mounds and numeric keys. This keyboard mix - not too good solution for European or American fingers. By their appearance in the prospectuses of K871 looks nice, but in life - alas, alas. Once again, make allowances for the "engineering" model: the starting date of production named as December 2007.

And here is the last product OKWAP K868 differs radically for the better build quality and overall pleasantness. Instead, multi-position joystick, built-in sensor element, which is referring to, you can control the device. The technology is similar to the one described above in the model OKWAP K869, unlike that of traditional buttons, but if you drive over them with your finger is not clicking, the same effect. Buttons themselves have a nice stroke, no permission or excuse. Beautiful in candlelight screen. Memory size and processor frequency OKWAP K868 is worse than their fellows. On the other hand will be faster, production should begin in September and completed yet much better.
