Atom-killer on the loose?

Rumor has it that Dopod will be launching a handheld that sports similar features and dimensions as the upcoming O2 Xda Atom. We are not sure if this is just pure coincidence or smart marketing strategy on Dopod's part, but sales of the Atom will suffer for sure, if the new Dopod PDA-phone makes its rumored debut in mid-December. Watch out for more updates.
Our first impressions of the Atom

O2 Xda Atom spotted at SITEX

The much-anticipated O2 Xda Atom was spotted at O2's SITEX booth. The PDA-phone is available just for demo, however, and is expected to start shipping only in early December. However, those interested can make reservations through pre-sales orders at the booth.

The SITEX '05 fair was surprisingly not as crowded as we'd expect, though the location and Thursday being a work day were likely reasons for the less-than-usual crowd showing. For those looking for a new PDA, there were several good deals offered at the show, among them the HP iPaq hw6515, Palm LifeDrive and recently launched Dopod 900. Most can be found bundled with freebies ranging from Bluetooth headsets to GPS kits, to wireless keyboards.
