Kinpo intros Saturn SP90 Pocket PC

Their SP70 wasn't necessarily the ugliest Pocket PC phone we'd seen, but we'd seen nicer, and the spec sheet certainly wasn't anything to write home about. Enter the SP90, their latest creation. We don't know much in the way of features or specs on this one, but it's a looker -- so much so, in fact, that we might forgive it for lacking, say, A2DP or a 3+ megapixel camera. Not to say it lacks either of those, we just don't have enough information. In fact, about all we can say is that it's a GSM 900 / 1800 / 1900 device on Windows Mobile 5, making an American release relatively unlikely (a la everything else Kinpo has done), so why don't you just not worry about it and move on.

Kinpo pushes Tin (and Saturn)

by Chris Ziegler posted Jun 9th 2006 @ 10:33AM

Taiwanese manufacturer Kinpo is following up the "lightest in the world" S600 Pocket PC phone with a pair of Windows Mobile 2005 devices under its iDo brand name. First up is the tri-band Tin, whose name doesn't inspire a lot of confidence, but packs a reasonable punch for its 21.5mm of girth: a sliding keyboard, 350MHz Freescale i.MX21, 64MB of RAM, 128MB of flash, Bluetooth 2.0, 802.11b/g, a MiniSD slot, and a 2.8-inch QVGA display. Next up, the Saturn takes the Tin's specs and antes up a 2.0 megapixel shooter and a bonus 170MHz of clock on the Freescale for a staggering total of 520MHz. We're told the Tin is so-named for its metallic finish; whether that means the Saturn is large and gassy, we don't know, but we'd love to find out if only Kinpo would care to send a few our way.
