Only in Japan: The F-07C, a 4 inch dual boot mobile phone that does full blown Windows and Symbian

According to a rumor coming straight out of Japan, NTT DoCoMo is going to release a product from Fujitsu dubbed the F-07C that packs a 4 inch screen with a resolution of 1024 x 600 pixels and it’s going to run both Windows and Symbian. We’re not talking Windows Phone either, we mean full blown Windows 7. That’s right, there’s an Intel Atom processor inside this thing, along with a 32 GB solid state drive. No word on how much RAM it packs, nor how Fujitsu is going to make Symbian even work. Is it going to be an x86 port of Symbian? Is there a tiny ARM chip in there that does Symbian? Will you need to reboot between the two or can both be running at the same time? At 125 mm x 61 mm x 19.8 mm it’s what some may call chunky, but just think about the possibilities. You wake up in the morning and boot up your phone, we’re assuming this thing will come with some sort of docking accessory, and you do whatever it is you need to do on your large screen, keyboard, and mouse, and then when it’s time to go to work you just put your computer inside your pocket and head out. Once your in the office you dock your phone again and bam, there’s your desktop.

The F-07C is likely to cost an arm and a leg and will never leave the island of Japan, but we’re actually wondering if such a device would catch on if it was released in Europe and America. With the next version of Microsoft’s Windows operating system supporting the ARM architecture, why not release an all in one phone/computer that you use as your one and only computing device? Hardcore gamers and creative types who edit photos and videos would never buy such a thing, but for the majority of folks this is perfect.
