This has been rumored and with CES coming up, its not surprising either. TabletKiosk will be announcing a new ultra mobile PC at CES. Our source tells us that its probably going to be a re-badged Mo-Bits VX3 UMPC. This is the Ruggedised ultra mobile PC that leaked out via a Carrypad report back in August.

Akori are already distributing it in Europe (PDF available here. News tip via UltraMobilePC-Tips.) and they show a number of build options including flash drives and 2 and 4-cell battery options. Its based on a VIA C7 and VX700 chip combo and provides dust and splash resistance. (more specs, CAD images here.) Obviously this is not one for the high street so expect a ruggedised price (Akori themselves have talked about 1400 Euros for this product.) but it should fit well in the TK portfolio and be an attractive option for their vertical market customers.
The second new device from TabletKiosk that we’re hearing about is a 12″ tablet PC. No more information that that at the moment.
