The other Palm OS smartphone: GSPDA's Xplore M70

by Chris Ziegler, posted Sep 19th 2006 at 2:48PM

It weirds us out a bit these days to see a Palm OS smartphone that doesn't share the classic Treo look, but sure enough, Group Sense PDA is back at it with another Palm OS 5.4-based handset, the Xplore M70. We're guessing we're not going to see it in these parts any time soon -- the QWERTY-less device sports Chinese input and lacks GSM 850 -- but for the good folks that get a crack at buying one, you can expect a 220 x 176 display, 1.3-megapixel camera, Bluetooth, good ol' fashioned SD expansion, and "exciting Palm games." Data tops out at Class 10 GPRS, but you know, with those exciting Palm games, you may just forget to download your email anyway.

In addition to that candybar, they also make a clamshell edition.

Gotta love the touch screen. I wish more smart phones would incorporate that feature.
