Update: It looks like we got the model name wrong. It says S32 on the product info sticker underneath the device! Kohjinsha weren’t present at CeBIT but we found a few of their products on the Taiwan Excellence stand. The SX3 was there (Sascha and JKK have a video of that that they will post soon) but I took the time to take a closer look at the SC32 having heard that the pricing has been slashed and that a 3G version is now available in the UK. You can […]

This is the first time we’ve managed to get a good hands-on with a working model of the Lluon Mobbit PS400 and, as a tablet UMPC, it’s looking great for PMP, Navigation, Web browsing, and as a grab-and-go PC. Lluon have tried to keep the design clean by using a resistive touch layer that lies flat with a ‘no frame’ screen. The button on the right is also touch responsive and acts as a combined mouse pointer and button. A reasonable 16wh battery and a good range of ports rounds […]

I’ll be doing a review for the VAIO P [Portal page] which we recently received from Dynamism for testing. This will be in a rolling-review format as we’ve done with the HP Mini 1000 MIE. Here is a roadmap that I’ll stick to when covering the VAIO P, and each section of the review will be released incrementally over the next few weeks. The unboxing post is already up and linked. I’ll retroactively link in each section as they go up as well, so make this post your home for […]

One of the most popular and eagerly-awaited UMPCs is on its way in from Taiwan. Im expecting the S5 to arrive on Monday so of course, as soon as it gets here, ill let you all know and set up the studio for a live session. On Thursday ill be travelling to Texas for MIDMoves@SXSW so ill have a lot of time on the plane to do all my testing. If youre interested in the S5, make sure you check back here on Monday.

Today we got a VAIO P [Portal page] review unit from our friends at Dynamism. This is the high end model running a 1.86GHz Atom Z540 CPU, 2GB of RAM, Windows Vista, and a spacious 128GB of SSD storage. Have a look at the unboxing, and the first thoughts below that. Unboxing First Thoughts The VAIO P is impressively small. It is one thing to cram the necessary computer components into a device and make it run, but it is another entirely when you make a device that is tiny […]

We visited Aigo today to ask then just one question. ‘Are you planning an xp version of your MID?’ Luckily for us, we didn’t get half way through the question before we saw the XP version of it running on the display. JKK shot a video and I pushed in with the mic and asked for an official response.   Listen to the interview with Aigo here.

I’ve been asking questions in my head about this one ever since I saw it crop up at CES. Did Samsung produce this as a new ultra mobile PC concept or did a big customer put an order in for a specific device for a big project? Or are they trying to re-ignite the tablet pc or jump the ‘reader’ market? For ultra mobile PC and TabletPC fans though, this could be interesting. Navigadget have spotted a GPS in the specs (indicating that Samsung might be targeting the transport industry?) […]
