Almost two months after unveiling the Xda Atom, O2 today finally launched the much-anticipated PDA-phone at Eskibar, a sub-zero degree bar in Singapore. Touted as the world's smallest multimedia PDA-phone, the Atom succeeds the popular Xda II mini. It comes with a plethora of enhanced features including a 2-megapixel camera, 262K-color display and Windows Mobile 5.0, despite sporting a slightly smaller foot print.
According to Mark Billington, CEO of O2 Asia Pacific: "The Xda Atom offers all the latest digital innovations in a truly sexy form factor. It is exclusive to the O2 brand, carries our unique O2 signature and meets the promise to our customers."
Upside:By integrating wireless LAN in the Atom, O2 has finally resolved one of the biggest complaints from Xda II mini owners--the lack of onboard Wi-Fi. Previously, mini users had to buy an additional SDIO Wi-Fi card which took up precious SD expansion slot space in order to enjoy wireless connectivity.
At the heart of the Atom is the same Intel 416MHz processor used in the mini, but the onboard flash ROM has been increased to 128MB. O2 has also enhanced the camera resolution from the mini's 1.3 megapixels to 2 megapixels, and added a built-in LED flash, FM tuner, 2.7-inch 262K-color QVGA display and Windows Media Player 10 application. To top it all, the Atom will come with O2 MediaPlus which gives users a convenient one-interface access to music, photos and videos on the handheld.
For all the bells and whistles, O2 has somehow managed to pack the new features into a tiny 102 x 58 x 18.5mm form factor, which is 6mm shorter in length, though 0.4mm thicker, than the Xda II mini. The UK firm has also kept the design simple and clean, just like the mini. In line with its recent launch of the black mini, the Atom will also be available in a piano-black finish, which has already proven to be popular with both male and female users.
For those concerned about the battery life of the Atom, O2 has promised that it will be better than its predecessor. Based on the specs given, the Atom is expected to last for 150 hours in standby and 5.5 hours of talktime.
Downside: The compact size of the Atom is not without its tradeoffs. Besides a slightly smaller screen (2.7-inch versus the mini's 2.8-inch), the PDA-phone now comes with a miniSD slot instead of a regular SD card option. This means storage capacities will be limited and many of the current SDIO devices cannot be used on the Atom. We were also surprised that the Intel 416MHz chip remains unchanged since the enhanced multimedia features are likely to add to the processing load on the device.
Like the mini, the new O2 handheld comes with triband and not the quadband GSM support found on many PDA-phones these days. This is, however, unlikely to affect most frequent travelers.
Outlook:Based on the popularity of the Xda II mini and the number of clicks generated on the CNET Asia site over the last two months, the Atom certainly looks very promising not just for its smaller size and improved onboard features but most importantly, for the inclusion of Wi-Fi. Look out for its early-December launch.
