Weighing less than one pound, the device is said to be "pocketable" with dimensions of 5.6 x 3.3 x 1inch.

The embedded OLED screen offers a fast response time, improves battery life and delivers a 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio and a high resolution display.

The model 2+ gets Qualcomm's Gobi global mobile Internet solution, Wi-Fi 802.11a/b/g, Bluetooth 2.0 with EDR and boasts 3.5 hours battery life.
