[url=http://ultramobilepc-tips.blogspot.com/2006/03/tabletkiosk-taking-pre-orders.html]UltraMobilePC-tips[/url] let us know today that Tablet Kiosk has just released an actual street date and price for their newest ultra mobile PC called the eo.
According to their press release [url=http://www.tabletkiosk.com/news/index.htm]here[/url] it will hit store shelves in the last week of April.
The press release also explains a little about why they chose to go with the name eo. eo comes from the latin word meaning to go or progress and TabletKiosk felt that thier ultra mobile PC was created to meet demands of highly mobile individuals with the UMPC’s power in an easy to carry design.
The eo ultra mobile PC v7110 512/40 is shown on the website as the current “top of the line” Origami from TabletKiosk. and according to the information [url=http://www.tabletkiosk.com/config/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=35&idproduct=146]here[/url] has a price of $999.00. not bad for a full featured small PC with a 40 gig hard drive.
The lower end model is called the eo ultra mobile PC v7110 256/30 and is being listed for $899.00 [url=http://www.tabletkiosk.com/config/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=35&idproduct=135]here[/url]
