Reflections on an UMPC Recall
umpcbuzz.com

BigBeaks provides thoughts about the TabletKiosk eo UMPC Recall. The recall involved transfering "the hard drive, memory (if expanded), and back panel (with the serial number and Windows activation number), to an otherwise completely new unit."

There is no doubt that TabletKiosk has handled all aspects of the UMPC launch, advertising, and troubles with their best foot forward. Other companies can learn from them.

You'll soon be able to get your hands on Asustek's first UMPC
dailytech.com

Asustek's first UMPC has received FCC approval meaning that we should be seeing a US release of the R2H very soon. For those of you who haven't been keeping up with the ASUSdevelopment of the R2H, DailyTech had a chance to play around with a unit at Computex and it's quite impressive. The unit features a 7" WXGA screen, WiFi, BT 2.0+EDR, 1.3MP camera and biometric security. Asus engineers also told us that they are hoping for at least two hours of battery life with its first UMPC effort. Asus expects the R2H to retail for under $1,000 which would put it right in line with Samsung Q1, but far below the Sony VAIO UX50 and UX90.

Ultimate Ears super.fi 5 Pro

The sound quality of the Super.fi 5 pro is amazing, the base, treble and midrange sounds are clear and defined, the overall sound is smooth and there was no noticeable distortion.  I tried them with an iPod, with the Samsung Q1 UMPC, Tablet Kiosk Sahara i215 Tablet PC, Toshiba M200 Tablet PC, Fujitsu 4210 Tablet PC, Gateway M280E Tablet PC, with my nephews Sony PSP and even with my Dell media center.    While the super.fi pro 5 can't make a device with bad sound sound good, it makes devices with great sound, sound even better.

Asus R2H: Origami UMPC in 'quite good' shocker
Crave, UK

Our friends at Asus (of Lamborghini and leather laptop fame) have just sent usAsus UMPC the company's version of the Intel/Microsoft Origami concept. It's called the Asus R2H and it's the most serious rival to the Samsung Q1 Ultra-Mobile PC.

The R2H also has an integrated GPS receiver, the aerial for which is tucked away at the rear of the unit, so you can use it to find your way home when you're not using the device as a portable media player. Finally, there's a very handy mouse nipple at the top right that you can use to navigate your way around the Microsoft Windows XP Tablet PC Edition operating system.

Ultra Mobile PC: An Australian Story
ubertablet.blogspot.com

hugo

Today, as part of my Aussie Tablet PC Guy duties, I decided to sit down with both the Samsung Q1 and the TabletKiosk EO Ultra Mobile PCs. Because there was so much ground to cover and lots of omissions due to time constraints I’ve turned the VLOG into a two-part series. The show notes below give you guide as to what’s contained and I’ll leave the rest up to your own viewing pleasure.

On this occasion I’ve aimed at making the review informative and have chosen the touchscreen as the main subject matter to focus on. Every time I rip a VLOG I also gain a new found respect for VLOGgers in the Tablet space.

Australian Tablet PC Distributor Tegatech Australia is now shipping the Tablet Kiosk EO Ultra Mobile PC (UMPC) and hopes to have the Samsung Q1 ready for Distribution shortly.

Sit back and enjoy this two part series named: Ultra Mobile PC: An Australian Story.

UMPC Rumors
UMPCBUZZ

If we measure the growth of a market by the introduction of new products then the UMPC market continues to grow leaps and bounds. In fact, US residents should see two new models soon. Clearing throat – pause – I’m not sure if that translates to weeks or months. Regardless, the UMPC market is growing.

Several months ago I learned how the Founder UMPC would enter the US market. The system will not carry the Founder name. No, I cannot spill the beans and provide you the name of the company who will relabel the Founder, but all UMPC watchers will be pleasantly surprised and happy. The company will back the product with wonderful service.

Rebranding is nothing new but somehow the UMPC models with different labels are getting confused. For example, a recent set of headlines touted about a new model in Korea. It was the Founder with a different label.

Amidst all the confusion, there is a rather large company that has a new UMPC that should reach our market soon. Who? Sorry. I am under an obligation to not tell you any specifics. Yet, I want you to think in good terms about the UMPC future. The future looks bright.

Samsung Means Business with Its Q1 UMPC
Channel Insider

Despite a less than warm initial reception for the diminutive PC category by analysts—ultramobile PCs are small, keyboard-less handheld computers capable of running Microsoft's Windows XP—Samsung said its Q1 UMPC has exceeded its expectations, particularly for businesses.

Meanwhile, depending on the success of the device, its future plans include at least one Q1 follow-on and possibly offering Samsung-brand notebooks again in the United States.

"What we've seen is that once people are actually holding a UMPC, they start to see the possibilities. Seeing pictures or reading about it doesn't do it justice," said David Nichols, director of product marketing for Samsung Electronics' Information Technology Division, based in Irvine, Calif.

"We're exceeding the initial expectations that the group had for the product…now we have raised the bar. We're excited about the prospects we see going forward."

The Q1's small size—it's far smaller than a lightweight tablet PC, which might come with a 10-inch or 12-inch display and weigh between three and five pounds—means it's easier to carry for highly mobile workers such as field sales agents or medical personnel, Nichols said.

"You'll see an additional wave of UMPCs available in the holiday timeframe," said Mika Kramer, head of Microsoft's new Windows Client Mobility Marketing Team, in a recent interview with eWEEK.

But Samsung, too, has its eye on the future.

Nichols implied that Samsung is looking at offering more than one type of UMPC going forward—it might deliver a corporate model and a consumer model—as well as investigating beefed up wireless capabilities.
