Hello,
this is my first post here but I've been a reader and Handheld PC user for a few years
Some time ago I picked this up from eBay.de and it was put in a drawer until I rediscovered it today. Since I haven't been able to find anything about this device on the web or on Kinpo Electronics Inc.'s website I assume this is some kind of prototype or at least a device manufactured primarily for testing purposes. As you can see on the photos, it has no branding on it at all except the Microsoft Windows Powered one. No stickers, nothing. With the device and stylus, I also got a charger
(5V DC
) and a docking station with a USB connection. The docking station carries a KINPO branding in big letters.
Specs:
206 MHz Intel StrongARM SA1100 CPU
32 MB RAM
?? MB ROM
240x320 touch screen, presumably 16-bit colors
internal microphone & speaker, 3.5 mm headphone jack
CompactFlash Type I/II & SD card slot
IR port
3.7V 1000mAh LiIon main battery & CR-2032 backup battery
Hardware keys for Home, Contacts, Calendar, To Do
D-pad
additional buttons to start voice recording and turn LCD on/off
It's running Windows CE.NET 4.10, build 908. Installed applications
(in ROM
) include Internet Explorer, Media Player, WordPad and the following:
ceNOTE
cePIMs – Calendar, Contacts, To Do
(demo versions
)
ClearVue Document Viewer, Image Viewer, PDF Viewer, Presentation Viewer, Worksheet – Version 2.1
I dismantled the device hoping to find some clues on its PCB but all it says is "PA01-10-5", just like on the battery. The About applet
(seen on one of the photos
) reports this as being a PPC_100. I couldn't find anything about this either. Does anyone happen to know more or is there a way to further dissect the device/OS? If anyone wants a ROM dump
(and tells me how to do it
) I'll gladly provide it if I can.
Applications can be installed as usual, I have yet to test some on it. I was able to get my CF WiFi card
(D-Link DCF-660W
) working.
Hope this is of interest to anyone
