Oh My, Another Windows XP Phone: ViewSonic VPC08

Here I was thinking the xpPhone was the only handset crazy (brave?) enough to run a full-blown copy of Windows XP. Appears ViewSonic may have one planned, too. This clamshell has a QWERTY keyboard, 4.3-inch touchscreen, and Intel ULV processor. More »
