Following on from the review round-up I want to highlight two video reviews of the T91 that you need to check out. The first is from Liliputing and the second from Gottabemobile.

The Asus T91 is officially available as of today. Amazon US have the T91SA-VU1X-BK up for $499 and immediate despatch. This model doesn’t have the GPS, digital TV or 3G (expect a minimum of $150 premium to get all those options if they ever become available) butit  does include 802.11n and BT2.1

U820 and MiFi with Earl Grey Originally uploaded by umpcportal.com I’ve been using the U820 as my only mobile device for a week now. For ad-hoc work it’s been fantastic. Small enough to take everywhere and big enough to be able to scan a ton of email or RSS feeds or to tap out the occasional long email or post, like this. The only thing I need to fix is the resume time. From hibernation it takes minutes. Longer than a cold boot. Something is definitely wrong! The Mifi makes […]

We’ve been tracking this for months now and have heard stories from all quarters about reduced service levels, lack of stock and new offices.  We’ve lost our main contact point in Raon, haven’t heard from our other contact points and finally, today, the website went offline. An email sent two days ago requesting a statement on the status of Raon Digital remains unanswered.    Raon Digital had three products in its lifetime. The Vega, the Everun and the Everun Note.

Over at GottaBeMobile, Xavier Lanier has a nice video showing us how he uses his Viliv S5 [Portal page] as a mobile photo studio. Its a pretty cool setup. Xavier uses an Eye-Fi card to import photos to his S5 as they are taken. No USB cords or SD card transfers involved. After snapping a few photos, he pulls out the S5 and they are already right there, waiting to be tuned. Using Picasa 3, he is able to make basic but powerful adjustments to his photos on the go. […]

Looks like a Chinese company called Inkia plans on creating two MIDs and is looking for partners to bring them to North America. All we can see for now are renders of the devices, but specs seem to be listed in full. We’ll just have to do with the names Inkia 5 inch &” 7 inch MID for now as they aren’t officially named at this point: Inkia 5 inch MID 5” TFT ( 800×480) touch screen Operation system support: Microsoft XP, Linux CPU: Intel Atom Z510/Z520/Z530 Chipset: Intel US15W […]

Viliv has managed to create some great UMPCs which have been receiving quite a bit of praise over the last several weeks. A reader in the comments suggested a size comparison of the devices which I thought was an excellent idea. Products compared: Viliv X70 | Viliv S5 | Viliv S7 You can also click through to the Size Easy comparison to hide/show different devices, and add your own items for comparison.
