MAGIC W3 is the first tablet/phone to run Windows 7 Home Premium

28 February, 2011
Wondering whether to buy a tablet or a phone? Scratch your head no more, as AdvanceTC is going to launch a 4.8-inch tablet phone which, wait for it, runs Windows 7! Yes, the device is going to be powered...

        Reduce the screen size to 4 inch and we have a proper Windows7 phone. Easy.

        So what would you take Windows7 mobile phone or WindowsPhone7 mobile phone?

          This device doesnt look good.I presently use a HP Ipaq which is a PDA and I am getting a Dell Streak next, believe me having windows on a phone is rubbish. Dell seem to have created a good form factor in the Dell Streak ( 5 inches screen ) being position as a hybrid of a phone and tablet. Acer is coming out with the Acer Iconia Smart ( 4.8 inches screen ) but it seems too long and not wide enough for my liking.At 260g this device is too heavy, the dell streak weighs 220g. The dell streak is 10mm thick but this device is double that at 22mm.I like the form factor of phone/tablets and was going to wait for the successor of the dell streak ie Dell Opus One but a leaked Dell road map says it is due out Q1 2012 so it looks like I am going to settle for the streak. I was hoping one of these phone companies would come up with a very good phone in that range with superior specs to the dell streak but this Advance attempt is way off the mark. I wonder who would buy this. To make it worse they settled for a terrible OS in Windows 7. I have it on my laptop and it is always freezing.

              They should put the taskbar on the left , save space for toolbars that typically run horizontally, its such a small device like!

                Reminds me of the OQO 2+.....Anyway it seems to me a milion times more practical than all those tablets. I got a nettop with atom, it's not slow at all. Internet is made for pc's. Had a android phone (HTC Wilfire, wasn't a fan at all, actually on't like Android), now I'm back to win mo 6.1 (Asus P320)and s40 (6233).....can't beat the good old usb mass storage device option & a simple file manager.

                    another waste of hardware. Android would suit much better :)

                        great soft, but that design is just plain ugly, and looks really unfinished and cheap... but the whole concept is something else.. nice

                          If manufacturers could build on hardware for tablets to run Win7 or Ubuntu what else would we require.

                              Looks promising and sweet half tablet / smart phone.
                              BTW from where they originally?
                              This is Chinese company? I not against Chinese and China, just curious to know this brand. Coz never hear about before......

                                this is amazing, im against tablets cause they are not practical, small cellphones dont give enough but this kind id the future

                                  ytf would you want a full bloated OS on your phone? Makes no sense.

                                        Wow, this is unbelievable! A computer OS for a smartphone size? I'm pretty sure it will be a hit for those who want portability of a smartphone and a real operating system.
