Korean manufacturer Bluebird soft announced its new BM300 PDA. The big question has to be: why a PDA? Are people using them anymore? As PDA sales slumped throughout the world this year, I think it's strange to introduce one more PDA without phone capabilities.

The interesting thing about BM300 is that it features T-DMB so you can watch TV when you're on the move. Apart from the 512MB on-board, you can up the memory to a useful 4GB. At the heart is an Intel PXA270 CPU running at 520MHz, and the PDA runs Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0.

Connectivity options include 802.11 b/g along with Bluetooth. An e-book reader, photo viewer and MP3 player are standard software. It supports stylus-based input although there's no mention of touch screen.

The Bluebird soft BM300 will hit the Korean markets first in November 2006, and hopefully be launched soon in other markets.
