January 11th, 2008Vancouver’s Intrinsyc launces rather sexy smart phone

Posted by Editor in announcements, devices

Intrinsyc soleus

At CES yesterday, famous hardware-maker MSI announced a new mobile devices built on Vancouver’s own Intrinsyc Softare. As far as I understand it’s workings, Intrinsyc’s Soleus platform is an OS and toolset for mobiles built in turn on top of Microsoft CE platform and development suites. In cooperation with Microsoft, this would look like a strong northern competitor of sorts to Google’s upcoming Android platform for mobiles.

The device itself features “includes EDGE/HSDPA WAN capabilities as well as WiFi WLAN functionality. It may also be offered with WiMAX, although no further details of this were provided. Using a 667MHz Samsung SC36400 processor, the 5608 also boasts a two megapixel camera, GPS, and digital TV reception in T-DMB, DVB-H, and ISDVT formats, MSI says.” Neat. At least, sounds great on paper, but will Intrinsyc’s Windows/CE-based UI really rival Apple’s OS-X equivalent on a multimedia handheld?

No word yet on how/when/if the device will be distributed in Canada. However, we here at WirelessNorth.ca are ready to give one a test drive, as soon as Intrinsyc or MSI wants to send one our way…
