Neonode N2 get's a new browser

Winwap has announced that the N2 get's a new Browser next month. Here's a link to the news article: Neonode to Include WinWAP Browser in Uniquely Designed Touch Screen Phone

Those who read my whole (loooong) review at pencomputing.com will quickly realize both the potential and the challenges Neonode faces with the device. It must be totally vexing to them to see Apple take credit for a lot of the stuff they pioneered since 2002. On the other hand, I am not sure why they then stress tiny size, leave out WiFi, 3G and advanced multimedia.

As for email, obviously a US version must have it, and it won't be hard to add it. I think the reason why it doesn't is that Europeans use MMS instead, and that the N2 supports in most apps.

In my opinion, it'll all come down to marketing and carrier relationships. The phone IS unique, very speedy, an could almost succeed on cuteness alone, though it offers a lot more.

My second reaction is: wow, that thing is expensive (due in part to the dollar's horrible plight right now): it comes out to about $645 dollars...and you can't even send emails from it!?!?!

Haven't had a chance to read the full review yet (and won't tonight), but my first reaction is: wow that thing is small!
