Top UMPC list.

Posted on 30 November 2006

The R2H will not budge from the top of the ultra mobile PC table. On the Carrypad product list it gets more than twice as much attention as any other Ultra Mobile PC. I’ve had the ranking system in place for a while now and its interesting to watch things go up and down. Generally after some news, a device will climb a place or two but there is a definite pattern forming. Devices are settling in to some fairly persistent positions. Here’s the current 7-day-averaged popularity ranking based on a […]

I have no idea what this is…

Posted on 30 November 2006

It was reported on AVING news network in Korean but the article appears to be about a Wi-Bro conference and not the device. Anyone know anything about it? It looks cool. Not sure about the flat keyboard though. Steve. View details of all Ultra Mobile devices in the ultra mobile PC product database. From N800 to Flybook V5, its all there!

Who’s giving up their UMPC next?

Posted on 29 November 2006

Firstly James Kendrick of jkOnTheRun sells his UMPC and now Matt Miller is selling his too. What’s up? At the World of Mobility expo I spoke to a number of resellers about the ultra mobile PC and they are all having a hard time selling it. On one hand, its not big enough for many commercial users and ink lovers and on the other hand, it hasn’t got a keyboard for the rest of us consumers. The unique usage scenarios and advantages of the ultra mobile PC just take too much money to promote […]

VIA DirectX 9 issue.

Posted on 29 November 2006

UltraMobile Life are reporting that the VIA Unichrome GPU supports DirectX9. That isn’t my understanding. I said so in a blog comment yesterday and its probably the reason for Bjorns posting.

You can run DirectX9 software but its not supported in hardware perhaps? I should have made it clearer in my comments. Apologies to VIA about that. This […]
