FCC Approves New Pocket PC From First International Computer

By Brian, Brighthand.com Contributor | 7/28/2004

First International Computer has received approval to sell a new Pocket PC in the US. It's unclear who's name it will be sold under, if it's actually sold at all. The unit features a fun design and a bright blue/purple cradle. The most welcome features are a dual expansion slot and optional WiFi.

Again, it's not clear if and when this unit will be released, but First International Computer now has the green light to do so when they please. While the specs aren't terribly impressive, the PDA market could desperately use the infusion of some new blood. Hopefully the price will be the main feature of this new PDA.
