Flyvo intends to ride the waves of portable gaming with a new WiMAX device.

The Flyvo G100 has a 4-inch touch screen and sits on the Windows CE Professional 5.0 platform. However, the operating system has been customized such that you can't install any Windows Mobile applications. It uses WiMAX, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth radios for interactive gaming, with a built-in 4GB flash storage to hold software. As it also doubles as an audio/video playback device, there is a microSDHC slot for extending the memory.

The unit will be available in South Korea in December, arriving on the U.S. market in the second quarter of 2009. (Get more CommunicAsia 2008 coverage here.)
