A Chinese company based in Shanghai named "E28" has quietly been selling Linux-based smartphones in China since August, and today launched its Linux device in Hong Kong. The company also claims to be in talks with US and European companies to bring the device to those regions, according to one source.

Japan, where cellular provider NTT DoCoMo recently adopted Linux for its 3G phones, represents another possible market for the E28 phone.

E28's E2800 smart phone sells for about $600, and targets business users, offering PDA functions, touch-screen, handwriting recognition, a camera, and memory expansion to 512MB through an SD memory card.

The 123-gram e2800 measures 3.86 x 2.32 x 1 inces (98 x 59 x 26 mm). It is a 900/1800MHz, GSM/GPRS class 10 device based on dual ARM9 processors, running embedded Linux with a 2.4-series kernel. It supports both Chinese and English. It boots from 32MB of Flash RAM, and includes another 32MB of SDRAM. It can be expanded with SD/MMC cards, and comes initially with a free 16MB SD card from SanDisk.

The screen is a 2.4-inch thin-film transistor (TFT) LCD with 240x320 resolution and 4096 colors. A built-in CMOS camera provides resolution of 110,000 pixels.

Networking includes USB and infrared capabilities, along with GPRS data services that provide Web browsing and email. The device has a 890mAH battery, good for 75-130 hours of standby and 120-300 minutes of use, depending on network conditions. Software is included for synchronizing with Outlook via OMA SyncML.
