Sanyo's Cell phone - Webpad Hybrids
|
|
| Mobile web-enabled devices were the hottest area
for most of the manufacturers at COMDEX 2000. This functional unit
from Sanyo (the VC-2000) sports a reflective colour LCD screen about
the size of a credit card. The phone can be collapsed to
protect the screen, and a built-in CMOS camera enables pictures to be transmitted by
the user. Reflective LCD screens use the ambient light to illuminate the
display. |

| Another image of the VC-2000 shows closer detail
of the keyboard and image capabilities of the screen. Note the compressed
keyboard function keys in the keypad. Typing in an email would no doubt be
a slow and tedious process. |
