I am interested to know what others think about this review of the Bsquare Power Handheld over at The Register. The Bsquare wasn't on my radar as being available anytime soon and now that it's here it looks rather...large. :? At any rate, give the review a once over and let us know what you think. "Straight out of the box, the PH looks like a typical PocketPC that's put on a little weight and lost its looks. It's a hefty but not uncomfortable 290g and measures 14 x 8.7 x 2cm. There's a slightly off-centre 4in screen alongside a four-way navigation control with a separate button in the middle. This time, the application activation buttons, of which there are six, are above the display. To its right is the stylus bay; to the left the IrDA port, headset jack, power connector, SIM bay and SD IO slot. On what you might think is the base is the on/off switch and volume controls.
But the PH is no mere Windows Mobile 2003 system. Switch it on and the screen not only reveals itself to be a very slick 640 x 480, 16-bit colour job but one that operates in landscape mode. With the screen the right way round, you're ready to use the keyboard. The lower third of the devices slides out from the device to reveal a mini QWERTY layout spaced to ease two-thumb typing. Imagine a PalmOne Treo 600 stretched to just over twice its usual width and you'll have a good idea of how the PH looks with the keyboard extended."
