ViewSonic today introduced the mobile device operating system Windows XP - VCP08. Apparently, so far only the Chinese market. The manufacturer classifies it as a Windows XP-phone, although the apparatus can be ranked and the MID, just with phone functionality. ViewSonic VCP08 claims to be the first product of this type, which is available for sale, since such a decision from the company ITG has not sold. ViewSonic VCP08 made in the clamshell form factor and is equipped with a small 2-inch display and a numeric keypad from the outside, as well as 4.3-inch touch screen and QWERTY-keyboard inside.

The outside is adorned with a 2 megapixel camera, plus a 2-inch screen and numeric keypad for your old school phone needs. An asking price of $800 and what we suspect to be pretty atrocious battery life will likely be the biggest hindrances on this device's path to respectability, but all the same, we totally wanna play with one. You should mosey on past the break to find a picture of the retro-looking externals.
