July is going to be a very busy month for me here at home. We’ve got guests from England for the whole of July and although I’ll be slowing down on daily work, I’ll need to be keeping on top of news and staying in touch with Ben so that we can co-ordinate articles. To that end I’ve put together a ultra mobile PC set-up that I’ll keep as my main mobile set-up for the whole month.
It’s based on the Fujitsu Loox U/50 which is 
one of the most ‘professional’ of the UMPCs available at the moment. It’s a true all-rounder with lots of storage, good battery life and has a very small and light build. I have the docking station too so it always finds its way back to a charger. It doesn’t come with built-in 3G so I’ve added the MiFi which charges via a USB cable connected to the Fujitsu docking station. At 666gm (really!) it’s small and light enough to carry with me in a small shoulder bag. Hopefully no-one will notice!

Thanks for this excellent article, and I’m glad that I’ve got one of this incredible UMPC as well. looking forward to see your new sharing…
“Hopefully no-one will notice!” that is funny!
What a nice bag, may I know maker and model of the bag ? (ps. is it padded? )
Thank you
The bag is from Deuter

I also have this incredible PC, equipped with 3G internal modem for my Vodafone connection. Nothing short of amazing! Maybe the best pro level UMPC.
I have the same thing to but I swap the 3G with 8790V sadly it will need hardware interface *will try hard wire it after my warranty expired* and hope I can do voice also.
I found more details on that bag…
