Sharp plans to enter the increasingly crowded mobile whatchmacallit space
with a widescreen PDA running Windows Mobile.
The EM-One, set to launch March 31 in conjunction with Japanese carrier EMobile, will have a TV tuner, WiFi, Bluetooth, 1.3-megapixel camera and a QWERTY keyboard that slides under the screen for traveling. The 4.1-inch screen is WVGA resolution.
Pre-installed apps inlclude a PDF viewer, Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Windows Media Player and Opera Mobile. Inexplicably it'll use Windows Mobile 5.0 rather than the new 6.0 version.
Pricing will vary from $331 to $800, depending on service plan, and there are no plans as of now to export it to other countries.
