InfoWorld | at | by Mike

A SmartPhone under development by Taiwan's Compal Electronics has received approval from the U.S. Federal Communications Commission, (FCC) paving its way for sales in the U.S. The phone runs Microsoft's Windows Powered Smartphone 2002 software and has been shown as a prototype for some time by the Taiwan electronics manufacturer. With the approval, which is required for all radio devices and was granted last week, questions still remain about which carrier will sell the device, when will it go on sale and how much it will cost.
