It looks like a new record has been set with the release of the Intermec CN3. With the dimensions of 6.3 x 3.2 x 1.1 inches and a weight of 14-16 ounces, it is the world’s smallest mobile computer. This device is part cell phone, part GPS, part camera, all mixed together in a sleek casing.

Buyers can choose from a backlit numeric keyboard, or a full QWERTY keyboard. Honestly, I don’t think you can do many of the functions very will with just the numeric keyboard. After all, this thing comes with Windows Mobile 5.0, which might be difficult to operate on a keypad that you have to hit three times instead of one.

The CN3 is ready to go with 802.11 WiFi, so you can surf the net as you travel. It is also compatible with Bluetooth 2.0, and has a GPS receiver with internal antenna. As for ports, it has got a USB 1.1, RS232, and Ethernet single or quad dock. The CN3 has the option of being fitted with a 2D imager for bar code scanning, or a 1.3 Megapixel camera with LED flash.

The CN3 comes with about 128MB of Flash memory, and a PXA270 520 MHz Processor. Additional memory can be added with the miniSD slot. The LCD is a TFT screen with a wide width of 3.5 inches, complete with an LED backlight. As for audio, this thing is fully loaded with dual speakers, a microphone, wireless Bluetooth headset support, VoIP, even speech recognition.

In addition to Windows Mobile 5.0, the CN3 also comes with Intermec’s SmartSystems software which is designed to install, maintain, and apply software upgrades according to the company. The CN3 is scheduled to ship very soon. No word yet on the price, but it will be priced lower than the typical rugged WAN mobile computers.
