Downside: Although the I-mate Jamin runs Windows Mobile 5 Pocket PC edition with the full Mobile Office suite, the lack of a keyboard will keep users from taking full advantage of the e-mail capabilities and some of the productivity apps. That said, you can always invest in a Bluetooth keyboard to pair with the Bluetooth-enabled Jamin and fire off e-mails that way. As we mentioned, price will be a sticking point with some. We're hoping one of the major GSM carriers, such as Cingular or T-Mobile, picks it up; otherwise, your wallet's going to take a hit.
Outlook: With the success of the I-mate Jam, we think the I-mate Jamin will be just as popular, especially with the addition of Wi-Fi and a 2-megapixel camera. However, it's going to face some stiff competition from the current crop of Windows Mobile 5 smart phones coming out, such as the T-Mobile MDA. We hope to get a unit into our hands soon, so check back for a full review.
