Philips working on a 3-inch touchscreen Xenium X-Connect?

by Thomas Ricker, posted May 13th 2008 at 4:43AM

A couple things you should know about this purported Philips Xenium X-Connect before churning your gadget juices through the emotional Osterizer. First, it's clearly a product rendering. Second, Philips Xenium cellphones are primarily found in Asia Pacific region -- as such, a European or North American launch is likely out of the question. If the X-Connect is the real-deal, however, here's what we'll be missing: Windows Mobile 6, 3G UMTS/HSDPA radios, GPS receiver, AA/AAA battery backup, microSD slot, and Bluetooth 2.0 all powered by a 624MHz Intel processor beneath a 3.0-inch (presumably touchscreen) display. Still, as a broadly positioned "communication device," maybe we'll see Philips reach out to different geographies this time around.

Update: Oh snap, this thing sure looks like the Xenium 800.

I like that. See, you CAN have something with an iPhone-like screen while still being a DIFFERENT design.

Bravo.

How is this not like the iPhone? 4" rectangle with rounded corners, glossy black face with large screen, and silver around the edges...
