WILLCOM D4 (Sharp WS016SH) Tested by Akihabara News

Posted by Judie Lipsett in Diary Entries

GA of Akihabara News gets all the goodies! He was invited by Willcom (located in Tokyo) to test their hot new Willcom D4. Evidently their office is right next door to his, so it wasn’t much of a trek; lucky guy.

For those who aren’t aware, the D4 is based on Sharp’s WS016SH. We have a 1.33GHz Centrino Atom Z520 CPU (one of the first UMPCs on the market carrying it!) Windows Vista, 40GB HDD, 1GB RAM, a 5″ 1024×600 TFT touchscreen all in a compact size of 84×188x25.9mm and weighing 470g… Nearly first generation PSP size!
