HTC Artemis becomes "MDA compact III" for T-Mobile Germany

by Chris Ziegler, posted Sep 4th 2006 at 4:46PM

The Artemis, HTC's first Pocket PC Phone Edition device with a GPS receiver on board, is one of those HTC code words we feel as though we've heard floating around for ages -- but only recently were we able to get an alleged snap of the oft-rumored device in the flesh. It appears we now have some solid confirmation that the blurry shot was in fact an Artemis, seeing how T-Mobile Germany's gone ahead and announced it as their "MDA compact III." Our German could use some brushing up, but the spec sheet seems to tell us that the rather stylish piece will be rocking a 2-megapixel camera, Bluetooth (naturally), and that in-built GPS module for the directionally challenged among us. Sifting through the device's control panel reveals that it packs a 200MHz OMAP850 with 64MB of RAM and 128MB of ROM, fairly standard fare for modern Pocket PCs. No word on a release date, but as usual, we'd caution our friends on T-Mobile in the US against getting their hopes up.

As soon as they drop a gps unit into one of their 'slide-out keyboard' form factors (and fit a processor fast enough for tom-tom/skype) they will have my money. I'm just hoping it turns up before my old Orange C500 gives up the ghost!
