I need to pay more attention. What Judie was alluding to was obviously the Samsung SPH-P9000 Ultra Mobile PC Phone thingy. She hasn’t posted anything yet but Slash Gear have just put some photos out of the device.Vincent Nguyen was at the Samsung party with Judie. There’s a big bunch of photos, a video to come later and I assume there will be comments from all those that are there. It will be available from Sprint early 2008. ‘The price is under $2000.’ So that’s only 13 Months away then. […]

So what does that mean? Your guess is as good as mine but it seems that the Origami team is ready to wind up the marketing machine once again. (Be careful lads!) if this post is anyting to go by. We already know that there will be a number of new devices but Dustin at Origamiproject is telling us that the all new ultra mobile PC is “the best product work my team has ever done.” Reading between the lines I think we’re going to see many of the new devices […]

Josh Bancroft has written and recorded some great info about the R2H over the last month. Yesterday he posted a good set of tips too. If you own an R2H I recommend reading this along with the tips I published about optimising the R2H. Essential reading! What I still haven’t found out though is what all the ASUS R2H Active DigiPen marketing was all about. Smells like…….looks like…..maybe it is Bulls*** Steve.

I think it had as much to do with the aesthetics than with any other part of the Vega. Jenn of Pocketables wasn’t too excited with the Vega in the review posted today. There are some good point made though. Take this one: One of its initial selling points, a “low” price, isn’t as relevant now that the $820 Kohjinsha SAF100A and erratically priced $799/$899 Samsung Q1b are readily available Add the PepperPad 3 at $650 and the AGO7 UMPC at $799 to that list and its easy to see what […]

Tomorrow is the Summit meeting; I am looking forward to some of the new devices Samsung is set to reveal…including a 5 inch screen ultra mobile PC with a built-in keyboard. We were told in passing that it is about half the size of the Q1 – I’ve got to get photos of that! Thats all she said over at Gear Diary. She’s raised my heart rate! Steve.

Update: Real photos have been leaked. Update 2: A new Athena info page has been created to track the latest specs and news. Via TheUnwired I see that BengalBoy has pictures and specs of the HTC Athena. This is the one with the magnetic keyboard that I was raving about. a few weeks ago. Great stuff. However, this is not the ultra mobile PC that they are working on as far as I know. This is strictly WM5, 640×480. An Uber-Smartphone. The CPU is a Samsung 400Mhz (not like-for-like comparable […]
