RoverPC's P7: Nice handset, shame about the air interface
RoverPC rolls out the next in its cleverly named line of devices as an update to the RoverPC P6, called -- yeah, you guessed it -- the RoverPC P7. While the aesthetic for this Windows Mobile 6.1 Pro device has certainly gotten a big push, and the specs are looking dandy, it seems that our friend 3G was left behind. Though all isn't lost handset lovers as it boasts a 416MHz CPU, a 2.8-inch touchscreen, WiFi, Bluetooth, microSD memory slot, and a pretty middling 2 megapixel camera. No word on when we might expect this to land -- though the where is looking like Russia -- or on pricing, but hopefully we'll hear more soon.

It's cleverly named because it's logical. The successor to the RoverPC 6 is the RoverPC 7.

It looks nice, I guess, but I just don't see a need to use a PPC without a QWERTY. EDGE is forgiveable, for me, because most places I'm in have WiFi and when I'm somewhere without WiFi, I really don't need 3G speeds...nice to have, though.
Bottom line: Seems pretty meh. Probably just to appeal to a certain price point looking for some functionality.

Another nail in Palm coffin!
