Purple-striped glofiish

400MHz Samsung processor, Windows Mobile 6, SiRFstar III GPS navigation chip and 64MB RAM. These specs describe the E-Ten glofiish X500 PDA-phone, and now, the new glofiish X600, too. The Taiwanese company has announced a new entry-level GPS handheld and it has the exact same features as the older X500.

It's not unheard of, certainly--repackaging an old product in a nicer-looking chassis and trimming down the size a little. It's just that we didn't quite expect a company like E-Ten to do something like that because it's usually the bigger players that bother to do so.

So, those who like their X500 slimmer and with a purple strip down its side can get the X600 in Singapore in early November. Right now, we still do not have information about its wider Asia availability and price, though we understand from an E-Ten spokesperson that it will be competitively priced.
