    the google translation says that it is a prototype. The theme looks quite nice.

    There are so many "prototypes" that are made in China but never see the light of day. I bet this is one of them too that just disappears over night. Let's hope it's not true but I'd probably earn some money if I did put a wager on it.

    Yes! That's what we should have had.

    I believe this is based off of the Ubuntu armel port, with open source apps taken from maemo.org. And it looks like they're ripping off some of the graphics (and probably some of the closed source bits, too) from maemo.

    I guarantee that it is the Hildon desktop, probably, as b-man says, based off of the Ubuntu variant, just like Mer.

    I'm sure that those are pirated icons used for OpenOffice, again probably from the Ubuntu armel distro.

    I wonder if the desktop icons are Personal Launcher?

    this link provides (http://mobile.pconline.com.cn/market...2/1503099.html) more photo and a slightly more detail writeup for this new device.

    yes, I wants one. by the way, I don't think it has GPS.

    Also according to some of the people leaving comment after the article: it may cost $2800 RMB(ie. about $412US with today's exchange rate) for a standard unit(ie. without the "communication" portion, I guess it means no 3Gs) and a $4300 for the fully loaded one. The available date will be around June 2009.

    Has anyone tried contacting WooJoy directly to inquire about the device's plans for existence? I was just looking briefly at www.woojoy.com, and found this if it helps someone...http://www.woojoy.com/contact.html

    BTW, if it runs on CDMA cellular data, is that compatible with US CDMA i.e Verizon or Sprint?

    Let me guess...

    You are affiliated with either ZhongYi or WooJoy and this thread was part of a promotional campaign. Otherwise you wouldn't have teased us and instead provided all info in the first post.
    Well done, though. It was fun hunting this thing down on the messy pconline.com.cn site.
