First things first… It’s no TouchFLO 3D. Ok, now that we have that out of the way we do have to say that we’re happy to see another company making an effort to tidy up the Windows Mobile UI a tad. Who knows how far away we really are from Windows Mobile 7 becoming a [...]

The i-mate Hummer, huh? We’re not positive if that’s an internal name or not, but we’re assuming it is. If you’re still an i-mate fan at this point in time, bless your heart. In any case, we’ve got the drop on this new i-mate handset, and it does look like it’s bringing some respectable specs [...]

i-mate hasn’t shut down its US offices located in Redmond, WA but pretty much everyone on the workforce there likely wishes that Friday never happened. An amazingly large percentage of its Redmond team was told to box their belongings and hit the road this past week. Among those sent packing were the entire engineering, QA, [...]

You can call i-mate a lot of things, but no one ever accused them of being good at naming their devices.

After a recent rumor circulated that i-mate was looking to thin down its Windows Mobile-based offerings, much of the tech world thought that the company was down for the count. Not yet, but they might be close to it, though. I-mate has just announced a total of 12 new Windows Mobile handset across 3 product [...]
We here at BGR are big fans of the series, "Will it blend?". Because we are big fans we have decided to do a variation of it, but in our own sick and twisted way. Will it freeze and survive? That’s the question, and some devices will hold up much better than others. Watch [...]

Coming to us straight out of some daring, rebellious employee’s hands (probably one of them that was fired without notice), is i-mate’s 2007 product roadmap. There’s a bunch of stuff here, some of it old news, and some of it surfacing for the very first time. Check the link for the full rundown, but my personal favorite [...]

The i-Mate PDAL was recently officially announced by i-Mate. Specs are the usual, 2 mega-pixel cam, AKU3.2, Windows Mobile Pocket PC, Wifi, and EDGE. I really can’t say anything else, no keyboard, no go. Enjoy the pics

As you know by now the i-mate JAQ was so ugly that even a mother couldn’t love it. Not to i-mate’s credit they are releasing a much more polished device that actually could pass for good looking. The reason for the remarks against them is now they are on there own having lost the only [...]
