Japan’s NTT DoCoMo today unveiled a new handset that dual-boots and boasts a full-fledged Windows 7 OS. The F-07C is touted as the world’s smallest Windows PC that runs Windows 7 Home Premium OS. Admittedly, you won’t be able to do some resource-intensive work on its 1.2GHz Atom processor but you know, it should handle Outlook, web surfing and even little bit of movie watching pretty well. It also features a 4-inch WSVGA (1024×600) display, 1GB of RAM, 32GB SSD, Wi-Fi and has a battery life of just 2 hours if you run the device solely on the Windows OS.

Booting the F-07C will allow you to start Symbian, which is when you’ll be able to use the device as a phone. The phone mode supports microSD card slot, 5MP camera and will give a continuous talk time of over 6 hours via 3G and over 7 hours on GSM.

The phone will be released in late June or July.
