TabletKiosk Rugged UMPC rumour.

Posted on 08 January 2007

I posted this on Origamiportal.com recently but it’s worth highlighting it again today. I think we’ll see it in a few hours.

CES: A good night for VIA in UMPC-land.

Posted on 08 January 2007

I expect VIA’s mobility group are happy this morning. The two new ultra mobile PC devices announced yesterday were both based on the VIA C7-M ULV processor with the VN700 chipset. The only disappointment for them was that Samsung announced the new Q1P-SSD and forgot to mention that they have a VIA version of the Q1 in their press release.                 Although Intel have the Santa Rosa platform planned (with the Steeley low-power processor.) it obviously not quite ready yet and so it gives VIA a chance to move forward […]
