2007 - the year of BIG Windows Mobile devices?

  • Article

Well 2006 was definately the year of smaller Windows Mobile devices as we saw the miniscule HTC S620, Blackjack, Samsung i320 and i-mate SPL emerge. 

With all the speculation it looks like 2007 might be the year of BIG Windows Mobile devices.

Slashgear spotted a Tatung supposed UMPC form factor device that was running Windows Mobile at Computex 2006.

Slashgear was also carrying pictures of the HTC Athena device too.

When I talk with customers many are looking for the old XDA 2 style devices with a 3.5 or 4 inch screen for line of business applications as most of the newer devices seem to be carrying smaller (and square) screens.

I'd love to hear people's thoughts - do you want bigger devices, do you see demand for them?
