Dynamism are going to sell the WiBrain B1. They have pricing already and estimate a mid-late Dec delivery time.
The pricing looks pretty good. Very good! $699 for a 30GB 1.2Ghz handheld PC is actually $100 cheaper than the competing Raon Digital Everun. You get more processing power, a bigger keyboard a webcam and, although i’m not sure how much of an advantage this is, many more pixels! There’s even a hint that HSDPA will be included but for that price, I doubt it. I’m checking.
I wonder if we’ll see Raon respond with a price cut. In Europe there are already hints that this is happening because CarTFT is offering a special 600Mhz 60GB Everun for 690 Euros. Cheaper and more powerful than the 500Mhz 30GB version from other retailers.
I should be getting the B1 for testing next week. I wonder what the battery life is going to be. I very much doubt it will beat the Everun but if its well made, it should be in the region of 3 hours (real-use, wifi-on) because of the 4-cell battery.
