Bphone Targets Both Netbook and Smartphone Market

With the growing popularity of both netbooks and smartphones, why not come up with a device that functions as both instead of releasing two separate devices? So, a single device that  is both a smartphone and netbook is a pretty clever idea indeed.

And that’s how interesting China’s Bphone is.   Currently available for $569.99, the BPhone is equipped with a 5-inch touchscree, 624MHz Marvell CPU, ARM Linux 2.6 OS, 256GB flash storage, Bluetooth, WiFi and GPS. Plus it supports quad-band GSM connectivity as well.

Other features of the BPhone netbook/smartphone include:

• FM Radio – Pick up your favorite FM radio stations wherever you are.
• Full Screen View – Crystal clear viewing with our cinematic full-screen mode.
• Fully Unlocked – Works on all four main GSM frequency bands for great reception world wide.
• Java Enabled – Get the latest cool Apps on your phone with Java technology!
• Flip Function – More compact and more stylish.
• Built-In GPS – Never get lost with an accurate GPS system built in.
• WiFi – Check emails, connect online, or surf the Web with advanced WiFi technology.
• QWERTY Keypad – Full QWERTY keypad for ease of use.

Pretty cool, right? If you’re interested, go check up Price Grabber’s product site and grab one of this BPhone if it suits your taste. And do tells us how it is when you get your unit. I’m pretty interested with it as well.
