With a physical dimension of 40 x 30 x 5 mm, it is designed for the smallest handheld devices with needs for ample, yet, affordable storage. In addition, through an integrated chipset, "Mikey" will enable up to a 40-percent reduction in power consumption over the existing Microdrive product.

It seems that Hitachi has modified its specs for Mikey to be a bit more modest than as stated in their January announcement. It will be introduced in 6 GB or 8 GB versions. According to here:

the 8 GB model is coming out end of September 05.

Well we already got a better screen :)
Shouldn't be too long before 800x600 comes out :hide: as for the HDD, i'm opposed to it. Would you really want hard drive clicks while using your pocket pc? :rolling:

A 800x600 screen is moot with such a small unit. Not to mention the CPU can hardly chug out Windows Mobile at 320x480 when doing a bunch of stuff, and screen draw is slow and loading can be slow and laggy at times nevermind running at 640x480 and then 800x600! We need Windows Mobile to go the Vista route and have everything rendered by the GPU and use the CPU for all the CPU related tasks. Or at least upgrade the CPU's, Intel should come out with something better to take advantage of the newer screens.
