It has a resistive shared touchscreen display (5″ 800×600) that is the brightest available on the market with over 200 nits of luminescence as compared to the 40 or 50 on other devices. The screen is touch-sensitive to work with a stylus, but the cPC also features a flat joystick-like mouse control so you can work with either environment.

The DualCor cPC has two-USB 2.0 Type A Hi-Speed 2ports and a mini-VGA port to connect to large monitors or a projector at a resolution of 1600×1200. It also has a USB Type B port for a mass storage device, and CompactFlash II slot into which you can connect a GPS, phone, caller ID, barcoder, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth dongles and/or cards. It will also connect with a stereo headset and telephone headset.

The internal battery will give you 12 hours of battery life. You can get literally hundreds of hours in standby mode, and 3-8 hours of continuous usage.

It has a built in speaker and microphone.

DualCor cPC combines the power of a desktop PC, the instant-on convenience of a PDA and the always-connected functionality of a cell phone. It is the first all-in-one mobile device to concurrently run Microsoft Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005 and Windows Mobile 5.0. Both processors take separate partitions of the machine’s 1GB of DDR 2 SDRAM and 1GB of NAND Flash but share the 40GB hard drive, allowing documents created by one OS to be accessed by the other. There’s a shared folder so you can move files between XP and Windows Mobile transparently. Also, the cPC is designed to synchronize your Outlook data in Windows XP with the Mobile 5.0 system to take advantage of the instant on features of Windows Mobile.

The DualCor cPC is expected to list at about $1500 USD and should be available March 2006.

Accessories

One of the greatest add-on features is the External Battery Pack which will give you up to 10 days of battery life.

There is a keyboard that mounts on the back of the cPC and folds to approximately the same size. The keyboard also has a pointing stick built-in so you can use the cPC just like a miniature laptop.
