New pocket pc's

Has anyone caught wind of these three pocket sized portable mini computers? 1: Ockel Sirius A 2: Gole1 3: Mini PC If you have, what are your thoughts about each one?

Lol hahah never saw one of these, seems pretty cool but wouldnt buy it. And 5" is the standard size of today's phones but for a mini PC its reallyyyyy small. Apps for phones have been designed to fit on your screen but on a mini pc, everything would be downscaled, which wouldnt make it a very nice experience... yes it would work for youtube but for reading things, or work on excel, that would be another story

I have had the Ockel in hand and really is pretty nice, does get somewhat hot under poor circumstances, which causes the system to be slower. It does somewhat make up for this by having a more extensive connector layout than most laptops from nowadays, with full sized displayport and HDMI, ethernet.. etc.

The idea is quite nice, it's trying to close a gap between phones and small laptops; can do more than your phone can (it runs Windows, after all), but is smaller and lighter than a small laptop.

Ultimately, i'd love to have a device that would allow me to do more things than my current phone. I mean hell #3 says they include a cool bluetooth keyboard.see and that's what i like about the ideas. they have the flexibility to potentially be a way to bring work home with you or for security when traveling you don't have to worry about lost bags.

I'd love to see someone make some modern PDAs, but none of these fit that bill.

Its not something new, but it certainly something a lot more players are doing.

 

If I were to get one, I would probably go with these guys: http://www.kangaroo.cc/kangaroo-mobile-desktop-pro/

 

A review of that device vs. what is coming out would be cool.
