It also packs an embedded antenna, anti-glare 3.5-inch colour screen and the latest SiRF Star III chipset.
The PDA offers Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0, media player, integrated microphone and speakers plus 256MB of initial storage. Priced at £199 and due on the shelves in a couple of weeks.
