CEO Jim Morrison of i-mate returns to MWC with a new mobile device that, he claims, runs full-fat Windows 8 in the same way that Ubuntu for Android will behave. The i-mate Intelegent is a 4.7-inch handset running the desktop OS on a Clover Trail CPU with 2GB RAM and 64GB storage. The secret, however, is that the $750 handset will slot into a Webtop-esque desktop dock to become your work machine when you get into the office. Morrison has said that there’s a factory in California ready to produce 10,000 units a week.
Now I checked the exhibitor list and I see no mention of i-mate. And the last we heard of the company concerned fraud and the firing of all employees.
So whose willing to bet this phone is for real? I’m not!
