The Kohjinsha has, apparently, passed all CE and FCC tests now and is on its way to Europe in F00KS (awesome model id!) form. That’s the 40GB touchscreen version. At last there’s a use for the swivel screen!
The SA1 is a great machine. Excellent screen (I have only seen the non-touchscreen version. I’ll try and find out if this version is any less bright) with fantastic 4-hour battery life and fast SD and CF slots. Bluetooth and WiFi are also included. The only things I didn’t like about it were the keyboard (its OK but could be better) and the plastics (a bit cheap.)
PocketPC Solutions, the guys that have the Vega and T770 will supply the Kohjinsha SA1 with Windows Home across Europe for just under 600 pounds plus delivery, putting it in the low pricing category with the T770, R2H and Q1. I’ve also just noticed that they have the excellent MyPower MP3400 power bank (aka. Tekkeon, TabletKiosk.) which I have tested with the Kohjinsha SA1. I got 9 hours of video playback out of it!
The Kohjinsha SA1F00KS in now in the UMPCPortal database.
