The Qisda 4-inches QCM-330 Dwarfs the iPad’s Resolution

You hear the 9.7-inch iPad has a screen resolution of 1024×768, and you think to yourself, that’s not so bad! And it’s not. But when you later hear that a new 4-inch smartphone will feature a resolution of 1280×1024, well…

…it’s just tough to be floored by anything less.

(Those of you noting the discrepancy between the spec resolution and the general wideness of the screen: you’re right to do so.)

The Qisda (you also know them as BenQ) QCM-330, expected to debut at the upcoming CeBIT tradeshow this March before being available through Vodafone, features a 4-inch, 1280×1024 screen that could be sharper than life itself, along with HSDPA and Wi-Fi.

We don’t know much else, other than that it will most likely run Android given the Home key (which makes the prospect of importing a phone for its hardware alone so much more appealing). But if you’re one of those people who doesn’t like to use the same phone as other people, the QCM-330 might be a decent handset to watch

“iTablet”? UK Company X2 Has Named Their Windows 7 Tablet

the iTablet—which hails from the UK—actually sounds very decent. For a tablet taking on the iPad, anyway. It runs Windows 7 (alright, naysayers, keep it down in the back), and is powered by a 1.6GHz Intel processor. It’s available in two sizes, of 10.2 and 12.1-inches (both 35mm thick, which sounds horrendously thick, given the iPad is 13.4mm deep), and each model contains 250GB of internal storage, a 3G chip and Bluetooth.

While the iPad was an oversized iPod Touch, the iTablet actually manages to be a proper computer by the sounds of it, with three USB ports and HDMI-out, along with a 1.3-megapixel webcam. Out in April, prices haven’t been announced just yet, but given some of the aforementioned components, I would think they’d struggle to price it lower than the iPad.
