About four years ago, a group of Palm OS bloggers (yours truly included) pointed out that device hardware was becoming more and more similar across platforms. Handera was rumored to be in possession of a dual-boot handheld (Palm OS 5 and Windows Mobile). Nevertheless, users across both sides of the pond jumped on us and asked for our heads – fortunately, time has proven that we were right.

A Chinese manufacturer called QiJi is said to be working on a device which can boot either Android or Windows Mobile – parallel execution of the two operating systems unfortunately is not possible:

Specs-wise, the device is decent with a 624MhZ CPU, 128MB of RAM and 256MB of Flash ROM. Unfortunately, a trackball is on board instead of a classic 5way nav…and don’t even get me started on the lack of a proper QWERTY keyboard…
