A Chinese company showed what it calls the world's first mobile phone to run Windows XP at the Computex exhibition in Taipei on Friday.

The xpPhone can wake Windows from standby mode to receive calls and text messages. It has a battery life of seven hours when not in standby mode, and with a larger battery it can run for 12 hours.

A customized chip from Advanced Micro Devices powers this mix of a mobile phone and a pocket-sized computer, which is made by In Technology in the southern Chinese city of Guangzhou.
