Forget Android, Symbian or iPhone OS. Now run XP on your phone!

Suprised?
While developers are going ga-ga over building newer and efficient operating systems for the mobile clan, ITG, a Chinese technology company has managed to build an actual mobile phone which runs a full featured Windows XP! Now that looks funny! No, its for real!

Now, there seems to be some upside-down matters. The biggies like Google, Apple and Symbian foundation are trying real hard to improve the software to co-operate with mobile technology just to function as if it were a desktop.
But ITG, on the other hand is going ground-up and building ground-breaking hardware to let desktop OS to be run on the regular mobile handsets.
The newbie set to rock is dubbed the xpPhone. No prizes for guessing why! The xpPhone features a large 4.8" touch-screen with a resolution of 800x480 and has a full QWERTY keyboard. With a dizzying array of features, such as dual SSD and standard HDD, VGA output at full HD resolutions (1920x1080), USB port for connecting peripherals, 3G connectivity, WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, camera, and more!
Other things on the phone are its optimization for being, well, a mobile device. The phone can be configured to wake from stand-by to receive a call. There's even an option that can let you restore the factory system image or the one created by he user at every restart so that your system remains good always.
On the software side, there's no point in telling you the features, as there's nothing that'll keep you limited if its running a whole desktop OS such as XP.

But the only thing to worry about is the overall weight of the device getting around to 400gm! Consider that in your pocket. You may need a "phone-proof" pocket!
