are you sure this isnt the pocket pc phone edition? :lol:

Yakumo presented 2 pda's at CeBIT, the Omnicron (pocketpc phone edition), and the Epsilon (pocketpc, no phone).

The Epsilon is also a pocketpc with a 400mhz processor and also features an integrated canera ;)

I have found this little snippet of information from the Yakumo press info, and this does look more promising to be kind of smartphone......

Outlook  

Another letter from the Greek alphabet is appearing at Yakumo’s IFA booth in connection with a possible new product introduction. The Yakumo smartphone psi is an intelligent mobile phone with Triband functionality. If all plans go ahead the product will have a target price of under 500 euros.

and..... with a little more digging, the Yakumo PSI is a mitac Mio 8380 :lol:

so, looks like the 8380 is coming to the german market (yes, Yakumo even though it sounds Japanese is actually German)

[Guest kingdom master]

ACTUALLY, It looks nothing like the mitac., check out the futurelook website:-)

are you talking about the Omicron (NOT a MS Smartphone, but a PocketPC phone edition), or the PSI (which is a mitac mio 8380, as shown on the Yakomu press release)????

Seems like basically the same core spec as XDA 1, but with camera.

Bargainous.
