i-mate SP5 Performance and Platform

Performance and Platform

At the heart of the i-mate SP5 was the TI OMAP 850 chipset, which powered a 200 MHz ARM926EJ-S CPU. Although this sounds modest compared to modern standards, it was capable of running the Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0 Smartphone operating system smoothly. The inclusion of 64MB RAM and 64MB ROM allowed for essential apps and basic multitasking operations, though it certainly required users to be judicious with app installations and media storage. The device supported miniSD cards, providing users the opportunity to expand storage for photos, media, and additional software.
