Flip me 3 times. Go on, you know you want to.

You might be wondering whether a triple-flip is needed, and that’s a reasonable question – and one that The Medical Phone Ltd is going to answer.

The genesis of this device apparently has it’s roots in the Emergency arena – and that’s why an application is loaded on-board that helps out in Emergency situations – ICE being “In Case of Emergency” – aha, now you’re getting it!

Also. there is a STACK of stuff on-board this device, making it work as a micro-notebook, 3G touchphone, Games player, and Sat Nav – not forgetting the aforementioned Emergency app.

The specs include the following:

  • GSM Quadband 850/900/1800/1900, GPRS/EDGE
  • 7.2 Mbps HSDPA UMTS 2100 connectivity
  • Freescale iMX31 532 Mhz CPU
  • 3? 240×400 px 65K color transflective TFT touchscreen
  • Windows Mobile 6.0 Pro OS
  • 3.1 mpx camera with autofocus and LED flash
  • Built-in GPS
  • Wi-Fi b/g
  • 1250 mAh battery
  • Dimensions: 127×60.8×23.3 mm
  • Weight: 210 g

… and apparently it’s going to hit the UK middle of next year! Seems like a LOT of tech to get in one device, and get it right first time. This one’s going to be interesting, as and when it comes out.

There is also mentioned a Military version on The Medical Phone Ltd website – now THAT’S the one I want to get hold of!
