TamsWMS - the Windows Mobile Smartphone Blog

Benchmarks for Windows Mobile Standard smartphones are hard to get by now that SPB Benchmark is discontinued more-less - luckily, Virtual Spaghetti’s vsBenchmark 2007 also runs on Windows Mobile 6 Smartphones(if they have enough RAM).

The following benchmark compares a Treo 500 against a QTEK customized with a Windows Mobile 6 ROM:

Treo 500	QTEK 8500

Interestingly, the Treo 500 produced severely garbled graphics:

In the end, the 416MhZ Marvell CPU does not manage to put itself seriously ahead of a 200MhZ OMAP processor - we are looking at a 2x clock increase, and get just a measly speed improvement of less than 50%. Nevertheless, the Treo 500 is as fast as Windows Mobile 6 smartphones get - and since I never really had any problems with my QTEK, I don’t see anyone running into issues with this machine either.

Please tune in soon for a look at the 500’s screen and system specs(and the verdict)!

Dear Readers,
yours truly will be in Hannover this Friday. I will attend the following tradeshows and would be happy see one or more of you:

The CeBit

First of all, I will definitely attend the CeBit - which is one of the biggest computer fairs worldwide. Expect loads of hands-on pictures and interviews to leak out in the coming months!

The German Palm User Meeting

This year, Tamoggemon Software will have a stand at the Germany-Wide Palm User Meeting in Hannover. Please stop by for a chat, to have a play with a load of devices, and maybe even for a fun game! Of course, non-palm-users are also whole-heartedly invited!
