“More details about Gateway’s forthcoming personal digital assistant and a new server to be released in August were revealed by executives Tuesday in a phone interview at CeBIT America in New York. The Gateway 100X will be Gateway’s first handheld when it is released on Monday with the launch of Microsoft’s Pocket PC 2003 operating system, said Mike Stinson, vice president and general manager of mobile products for Gateway. The company considers its PDA a high-end product that it will sell for between $300 and $350, he said.

The Poway, California, company will include both a Compact Flash and a secure digital slot in the PDA, Stinson said. It will come with 32MB of RAM and 32MB of ROM, he said. Information about how much RAM would be user accessible was not immediately available. Gateway will use a 3.5-inch reflective TFT display on the Gateway 100X, with a screen resolution of 320 pixels by 240 pixels, Stinson said. The PDA will also come with a 400MHz XScale processor from Intel, he said.”

This also confirms PPC 2003 will be released on Monday. The Above device does not sound very exciting specification wise. Any comments?
