      Apple has already registred all the trademark for the i-XXXXXX even including i-shXX.

      So this Dubai company will be sued by Apple soon!

        Oh the name i-mate brings back so many memories! Hope they don't get sued by Apple for using 'i' as the first letter.

          Sweet, I might finally get to stop wondering when somebody will pair an intel powered phone with the windows (non RT) OS. PLEASE don't screw this up.

            If this really comes out at those said specs, then all other brands- time to alter your business!
            A killer it'd be! Looks awesome too.

              Couldn't they make the handset wireless? It sticks out like a sore thumb.

                    I wanted to replace my Viliv S5 since I dropped it. Hopefully, this gets released and I can disable/uninstall the background phone processes.

                    I wonder if my carrier is going to recognize this as PC or a phone plan.

                      Finally, this is why I'm waiting for the Lenovo K900, to attempt exactly this.

                      Also means we'll soon be seeing the calling and text app available on W8.

                          Does not matter If they make it to market or not, design look awesome!

                            Jim Morrison is making Mobile Phones now?

                            Btw, I thought that HTC bought imate. How wrong I was.

                              Intel cpus in smartphones will enable windows software to run on a tablet and smartphone. This is because of the CPU architecture of the Intel CPUs. This will be the next big turn in the whole game of smartphone business.

                                To me, it is not just that the name looks misspelt, it looks like it is "inelegant" misspelt, which can hardly be a good connotation.
