May31	RoverPC P7 PDA Phone Alex Ion May 31, 2008 Know More: Cell Phones RoverPC just upgraded their P6 PDA Phone and we now got the new P6 available. The biggest change is an improved processor, Marvell PXA270 416 MHz (up from 300 MHz) but still, there are other specs to be considered: 2.8 inch touchscreen, WiFi, Bluetooth 2.0, miniUSB, microSD, and a 2-megapixel camera. RoverPC P7 is running on Windows Mobile 6.1 and the worst part is it only supports GPRS/EDGE data and no 3G. Unless it goes live soon for a really good price I don't think they're going to be successful. via MobileWhack Posted at 4:57 PM \| Permalink \| Comments
