i-Mate Ultimates Gallery and Hands-on
Here's a close-up hands-on gallery of the i-Mate smartphones we saw last night. We got a quick hands-on with them, and to us they feel just as speedy—if not speedier than the HTC phones we're used to (thanks to the beefy processors they have inside). The D-Pad used for scrolling is more like a nub or a small joystick than a scrollpad, which takes some getting used to. Other than that, the screens are huge, but it's hard to use a Windows Mobile phone for messaging if there's no on-board QWERTY keyboard. Only two of the phones have a keyboard, which means the ones that don't are more for incoming data than outgoing. Do we prefer these to the HTCs? It's too early to say, but they're at least on-par.

i-Mate Makes Official North American Push With 4 Windows Mobile Smartphones
These four devices in the i-Mate Ultimates line—the 9502, 8502, 8150 and the 6150— are i-Mate's official push into the North American market. We've seen their Ultimates line before, but now they've promised a marketing campaign and sales direct from their website. Until now, the US market for Windows Mobile phones have been dominated by HTC and Palm (with some various other smaller companies picking up the end), but i-Mate's a big contender overseas. Here's what the four phones look like.

i-mate Shows New SideShow-enabled Portable Display
Just when we thought we had seen all the SideShow news from WinHEC, out comes i-mate with the View 2010. The 14-inch portable display has an XGA touchscreen, and in addition to retrieving info from your Vista PC it can also hook up to a keyboard and mouse letting you check email messages, watch videos and do simple Internet browsing. No word on pricing or availability, though it sounds like a larger version of Ricavision's eChatter. More »

i-Mate's 2007 Phones Leaked Online
We've given you a heads-up on a couple of i-Mate's forthcoming phones, but now someone at the company has done us the favor of leaking the company's entire roadmap for '07.

The series consists of four phones, which will be released from May to June. Check out the PDF while you can. More »

i-Mate X-Stream Digital Media Hub Actually a TV
Not just content to make phones with horribly lousy names, i-Mate is branching into LCD TVs with Media Center PCs built right in to the set. Named the X-Stream Digital Media Hub, this TV has a 500GB hard drive, 720p/1080i support, and a wireless router. Wait, wireless router? We're sure they meant wireless connectivity, not an actual router. More »

I-Mate JAQ4 Tries To Suck Less With GPS, Wi-Fi
The best part about the upcoming I-Mate JAQ4 is that it includes a built-in GPS receiver. I say that because there's pretty much nothing here—in the rumored specs, at least—that current smartphones don't already do. You'll find all the staples of smartphones like Wi-Fi, spacious screen (2.8 inches, to be exact) and Windows Mobile. What isn't known is how fast the CPU is, which is a shame because then we've no idea if the smartphone will run swimmingly or dreadfully. More »
