Sharp IS01 Pocketables Unboxing

By Chris Burns
on 10 Nov, 2010

It's what Pocketables calls a "much-needed and highly refreshing addition to the market." Sounds good to me. This is the Sharp IS01, complete with a 1GHz Snapdragon inside, clamshell housing, and a 3G connection (as long as you're inside Japan.) It's got Wifi capabilities, a unique size and form, and costs less than $250 USD if you buy it from Conics. Jenn K. Lee presents a lovely unboxing of this diamond in the rough (maybe!)

Sharp's IS01 clamshell Android MID has gone up for sale in the US, courtesy of importer Conics. They have the 1GHz Snapdragon MID up at $246; that gets you a 5-inch 960 x 480 capacitive touchscreen, WiFi, GPS, Bluetooth and dual cameras. Unfortunately the 3G functionality doesn't work, since it uses a Japanese 3G radio. Still, it's a cheap MID and a good way to get a hardware QWERTY keyboard on an Android device. [via Pocketables]
