Ultimate i-Mate series raises eyebrows

Reports on the internet reveal that i-mate will axe two of its Ultimate series viz. 6150 and 8150. Having originated from Clove Technology, an online retailer based in the UK confirms: “Out of the five handhelds expected to hit the market, only two will remain”.
But if Asia Pacific i-mate is to be believed then all the five products of the handhelds will be launched soon. The launch will be marked by the unveiling of the 8150 and 6150. This surely generates a hope among people, who are eyeing the models of 5150, 7150 and 9150 but doubts will maintain the heat till the day we feel the models through our ears.

A soft-corner of trust within me for latter makes my hope two-fold about the launch of this Ultimate Series. The common internals of i-Mate series include:
