The i-mate Ultimate 8150 Pocket PC will run on a 520MHz processor with 256MB Rom and 128MB RAM, feature XGA video out, HSDPA connectivity, and a 262k touchscreen. This neat candy-bar style Pocket PC has all the usual Mobile office tools on board and runs Window Mobile 6 OS (Crossbow).

The i-mate Ultimate 8150 Pocket PC will work on quad-band GSM/EDGE and Tri-band UMTS, and have Wi-Fi connectivity, Bluetooth, MicroSD slot, a 2 megapixel camera, and FM radio.

With i-mate's latest business email companion - the Ultimate 8150 - the innovation is somewhat more unusual. On the outside it looks pretty standard stuff - but on the right side is an unusual socket that hints at something slightly different. This smartphone can be hooked up to an external monitor. The ability comes courtesy of nVidia's GoForce 5500 graphics chip, which allows output of resolutions up to 1024 x 768 and it works rather splendidly.

Using a special cable supplied in the box, which also carries audio, you simply hook the 8150 up to a spare D-SUB socket on your monitor and then switch between external and built in screens as you would on a full blown notebook. Cunningly, once you switch to the external output the touch screen on the 8150 turns into a touchpad and you use it to control a cursor on screen in much the same way as you would on a notebook.
