E-TEN G500 Pocket PC PhoneE-TEN G500

GPS-enabled devices are everywhere these days.  They’re in everything from dog collars, to wristwatches, and of course, cell phones.  The latest GPS equipped phone to hit the market is E-TEN’s G500 Pocket PC Phone.  A quad-band GSM phone with GPRS, it has the increasingly popular SiRF Star III chipset with an internal antenna for GPS duties.  The phone eschews the typical Intel XScale processor in favor of a Samsung unit running at 400MHz and has 128MB ROM and 64MB RAM for program executionstorage.  Windows Mobile 5.0 is the operating system of choice, and the rest of the G500’s features read like almost any other PDA or phone - 1440mAh Li-Ion battery, 1.3 megapixel camera, Class 2 Bluetooth 1.2, speakerphone, and miniSD slot.  The only thing missing is a VGA screen, as the G500’s is a 65K color, 240x320 TFT-LCD.  No word yet on pricing or availability.
