.... it's more like the dog dug a hole under the fence.
You have to give credit to those that find it first and from what I can see, MSMobiles found this neat little tidbit from a place called PPC-Welt before anyone else. Click on the link if you want to see more pictures.
MSMobiles provided the following information about HTC Artemis:
- processor speed: 201 MHz - TI OMAP (too slow for voice calls over Skype)
- display: 240x320 pixels and only 65536 colors
- built-in GPS (main feature of this phone)
- OS: Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC phone edition
- model number: ARTE10000
- cellular: GSM/GPRS, no UMTS/HSDPA, possibly: EDGE
- innovative input controls: wheel + joystick
- QuickGPS ( quick GPS ) preinstalled so that users can achieve GPS fix much faster thanks to satellite data downloaded over Internet
- Bluetooth, infra-red, USB

I agree, 201 MHz is just too slow. You would think that any HTC PPC device would have the minimum 400 MHz necessary for Skype.
I would say that out of the box GPS will be pretty much a standard feature and a good selling point down the road for carriers. Tom Tom already has their software only version and recently came out with the Navigator 6 bundle for the Palm Treo.
Sometimes I think vendors put out devices just to put them out and see what the "masses" think. My guess is that this device will have a short life.
