Xplore M70 Smartphone

There are more smartphones (besides the Treo) that use Palm as the operative system than you think, the Xplore M70 is the most recent cellphone that belongs in this category. Made by GSPDA and announced earlier today, the M70 features Palm OS 5.4 Garret and makes use of the 3 band (900/1800/1900MHz) GSM system. It comes with a 2.2-inch TFT screen that has a 176x220 resolution and can display 260,000 colors, but the best part is always the touch-screen feature.The Xplore M70 has three ways to connect to other devices: either by simple old bluetooth, rare infrared, or good old fashioned USB. When transferring videos, make sure they are under MPEG4 or 3GGP format because that's the only video formats it can play. Of course that MP3 files can also be included to playback or to use as a ring tone, the 1.3 megapixel camera with digital zoom can't be forgotten (how else would you take silly photos or record dumb videos?) - a cellphone without at least a 1.3MP camera is useless these days. Additional specifications include an extra slot for a SD card so you can listen to more music, watch more videos or include important files related to work; and the possibility to check the e-mails (making use of POP3 and SMTP) plus view its attachments with the help of special software. If mp3 ring tones are not your type, maybe you prefer the old-school midi ring tones and in that case there are 40 poly ring tones you can pick from. To browse the internet there is GPRS class 10 which is in the middle of 2G and 3G speeds.
