i-mate's bumper crop for '07

by Chris Ziegler posted Apr 5th 2007 at 5:07PM

i-mate has wisely decided to keep its release tempo on the up-and-up following its disassociation from Windows Mobile megagiant HTC -- at least that's what we're believing following a strong showing at 3GSM this year and now this, a leaked roadmap document detailing what we can expect out of the Middle Eastern outfit for the next few months. Notable models include the "Odyssey," a Windows Mobile 5 Pocket PC Phone Edition device with UMTS 1900 / 2100 (what, no 850?), 2 megapixel cam, and WiFi; a four-pack of so-called "X Series" devices in a variety of form factors, blacked out and chock full of dual-band HSDPA, Windows Mobile 6, Bluetooth 2.0, and WiFi; and a Fastap-equipped handset in the Ultimate line -- codenamed "Acorn" -- with triband HSDPA and the video out that is a signature of the series. Healthy competition for HTC? Bring it on, folks. [Warning: PDF link]

This is clearly an old file and a lot of the information is out of date. i-mate has announced its roadmap for 2007. You can see what's on it here:

Some of the models on this PDF are on it, but some of them didn't make the cut.

I see there running PPC Crossbow.

Is Crossbow coming out so soon?
