Hands-on with the Qualcomm 'Pocketable Computing Device' prototype

[blip.tv http://blip.tv/play/AbDuCQA]

Did a little fondling of a prototype device from Qualcomm that’ll be hitting the market soon at under $300. It’s basically a super beefed-up Windows Mobile machine similar in size to the Nokia N810 (and with a QWERTY keyboard to match). The big feature is the 1GHz processor that it’ll have and its ability to play HD movies.

Devices like this will be here the second half of this year. Hit the jump for more specs.
