DualCor Technologies, Inc. is releasing the DualCor cPC, a combination of tablet PC, PDA, and cellphone. The cPC is a novel dual processor device, featuring a Via 1.5 GHz processor running Windows XP Tablet PC Edition and an Intel chipset running Windows Mobile 5.0 Phone Edition. With its unique dual processor and dual OS design, you can actually switch between the two OS instantly with zero lag (according to DualCor).
The DualCor cPC features a 5” 800×480 touch screen, a 40GB hard drive, 1GB DDR2 RAM, 1GB NAND flash memory, built-in speaker and microphone, built-in battery providing hundred of hours in standby mode and 3-8 hours of continous usage, 3 USB 2.0 Hi-Speed Ports (2 Type A, 1 Type B), VGA output port, stereo headset, telephone headset and CompactFlash Type II slot, as well as instant-on, always-on, and always connected features.
Unlike the OQO pocket computer and the Nokia 770 Internet Tablet, the cPC has successfully integrated what a mobile professional needs, a portable computer, a PDA, and a cellphone. It comes with sufficient computing resources to do the tasks from running an address book on Windows Mobile to running an SAP application on Windows XP. However, the cPC does seem too thick to be handheld comfortably, which is a big disadvantage especially if you are going to use it all the time. What say you?

This combo is definitely a hard-to-beat entry in the evolution of the portable PC. Achieving the optimum size will be a little tricky. If the equipment is too small, the possibilty of it disappearing from your possession is a real possibility. My beef however is the cost/availability of internet connections while on the go. Depending on your location, this issue could be a real headache.
