xpPhone 2 specs updated and revealed

Xpphone_2

After a few slight delays from the original announcements of the xpPhone 2, the manufacturer ITG has finally unveiled the exact date for a press conference and has even updated a few of the internal components. Let's dig in, shall we?

First up, let's talk about the CPU. Originally planned to be an Intel Atom Z530 at 1.6GHz, the processor has now been changed to an Atom "25xx" series one. It's got either 1GB or 2GB of RAM as well, along with storage capacities of 16GB, 32GB, 48GB, or 112GB. All of that powers the 4.3-inch display that can run Windows 7 now and Windows 8 later this year. 

As for connectivity, the xpPhone 2 will sport EVDO Rev. A 800MHz and CDMA 1x 800MHz antennas. There's also 802.11b/g WiFi and GPS for home internet use and navigating, respectively. 

The press conference has been scheduled for March 10th. That isn't anywhere near the originally-promised release dates, but better late than never. I expect to learn about pricing and availability when the conference takes place.
