According to reports on News.com and IDG.net, Gateway has revealed the first details of its upcoming Pocket PC.
Based on the Pocket PC 2003 platform, the Gateway 100X will be powered by an Intel XScale processor running at 400MHz and have 32M bytes of RAM and 32M bytes of ROM. It is not known at this point how much of this will be user accessible.
Gateway appears to have decided to cut costs by not offering a transflective color screen. Instead, it will have a 3.5" reflective TFT color screen. Still, this model will offer dual expansion slots -- Compact Flash and Secure Digital, according to Mike Stinson, vice president of Gateway's Mobile Products Group.
The 100X is expected to be available in mid to late-July. Mr. Stinson says his company's first handheld sell for between $300 and $350.
This is all the information that is available on the 100X at this point. More will be available when it is officially announced on Monday, at the same time Pocket PC 2003 is unveiled.
This is just the first Pocket PC to come for Gateway. According to Mr. Stinson, his company has plans to release more handhelds in the coming months with a variety of feature sets and price points.
