I know, I know. The title of this article sounds like its written for a digg ultra mobile PC search but, and my apologies to the established UK resellers, this has to be aired. I’ve just been reading an article in UK’s Stuff magazine about Expansys importing and supplying the Sony UX series ultra mobile PC in the UK. I also ran an article on the subject and came to a similar conclusion that importing is the only way to get hold of some of the UMPCs if you’re in […]

We’ve been in touch with Raon Digital and had a little conversation about the current status of the Vega. Its clear that there’s a little bit of over-excitement by certain websites on the capabilities of the Vega and RaonDigital have released this public statement to us: “Please be advised that RAON, the manufacturer of VEGA, releases the official information of VEGA only on its homepage www.raondigital.com. Information from other sites may not be incorrect and/or insufficient” I’m happy about that. I was worried that the Vega was being hyped through […]

OnlyUMPC have a link to a really interesting cost breakdown for the component parts of a ultra mobile PC written by Linda Epstein of TabletPC2.com. Its a great post and goes through exactly why UMPCs won’t reach $500 in a short space of time and why the economies of scale haven’t kicked in for the market yet. I said similar things in a post the other day about incubating UMPCs. There are going to be something like 100 million notebooks sold in 2006. I’m guessing that Origami ultra mobile PC […]

I’m just listening to MobileTechRoundup 63 and the guys are having a good conversation about the Vega UMPC. It sums up the current status and general feelings about the device nicely so if you’re on the search for info about the Vega, have a listen to the podcast. Also on the show a discussion about Notebook Hardware Control which is a great bit of software for monitoring and setting up a ultra mobile PC for efficient battery and cpu use. Steve / Chippy.

AgoPC have today launched the ago7 UMPC in the U.S.

[img]http://www.carrypad.com/images/Ago7-1.jpg[/img]

Its instantly recogniseable as a branded Amtek T700 (as is the Tablet Kiosk v7110) and is offered as a 512MB/40GB system in white only.

The other difference is the price! The unit is offered at a $100 discount to the equivalent Tablet Kiosk model.

Order the device quickly enough and you’ll get a free flexible keyboard.

Head over to [url=http://agopc.com/]AgoPC[/url] for more details.

The ultramobilegeek (Thougthfix) blog rounded up its four part series comparing the eo v7110 with the Nokia 770 internet tablet. There’s some good info about user opinions and I second the thoughts about docking stations. They are a must-have accessory for a ultra mobile PC and like with the Sony UX and The Tablet Kiosk i7200 series, they should be supplied with the device. I keep hearing comments from women that like these devices too. Kristi (19) was very enthusiastic about the TabletKiosk eo. She described it as “very cute” […]

Through Ultramobileblog, I’ve just found out about a new syncronisation solution tailored for UMPC’s. UltraSync from Imagine LAN Back in Feb I was asking questions about how the UMPC’s would syncronise data and this looks like the perfect solution. UltraSyncâ„¢ software from imagine LAN provides comprehensive digital content synchronization (files, music, pictures, video, Outlook® email, and browser favorites) between an Ultra-Mobile PC and its companion PC. There’s a press release here. What I’d like in a sync solution is a ‘random selection’ mode where it will copy xGB of random […]
