The Treo 680 and 750 are getting a little long in the tooth, are they not? The 680 has a spiritual successor in the Centro — the 750, though, not so much (come on, the 500v does not count). That might just be where this “Drucker” comes into play, a phone listed on Vodafone’s 2008 roadmap that alleges Windows Mobile 6.1, a 320 x 320 (!) display, 2 megapixel camera, GPS, WiFi, and triband 3.6Mbps HSDPA when it comes down the pike this July. In fact, we can pretty much guarantee it’ll be replacing the 750v, seeing how it says so right on the slide. Sadly we don’t have any visuals on this one (something tells us this ominous gray box isn’t the actual phone), but it looks like Voda’s targeting a price of £270 (about $534) and we’d be pretty shocked if we didn’t see an AT&T launch in roughly the same time frame.

 


At first glance, we assumed the completely misnamed Christmas MP3/MP4 player was merely a mephistophelean covering for an older iPod nano, but apparently, Putian Hengwang Trade Company put in the legwork and actually knocked off a DAP (or at least an interface) from Apple’s past. This creature fittingly arrives in red or black and features 1GB, 2GB, 4GB or 8GB of storage, a 1.5- / 1.8-inch display, optional FM tuner and built-in speaker, a rechargeable Li-ion and support for MP3, WMA, WAV and ASF file formats. Sadly, there’s no mention of a price, release date or pickup location, but there’s a decent chance you’ll find ‘em awkwardly stacked up beside the Cross MP3 Player somewhere in Beijing.
