I’m on the last day of my mini-holiday in the UK and have been trying to catch up with feeds and email before I dive back into full-time ultra mobile PC work on Monday but one thing I couldn’t leave until next week was a mention of the new specs that Engadget have on the HP 2133 UMPC.

Its good to see some confirmation that it really is VIA-based and that it will have a DX9-capable chipset. Probably the VX800. The size and weight figures look a bit suspicious and might just be shipping figures so I’d ignore them for the time being.
The disk sizes indicate an 8mm 1.8″ drive and its nice to see it support up to 2GB of RAM.
I’m disappointed not to see a Bluetooth module in the low-end devices and no HSDPA option but I think there’s a lot of potential market spread in this product and I’m sure we’re going to see Isaiah-based versions of this with some great additional specifications. What we see here is probably only the start of a big range of devices.
I wasn’t able to get these specs confirmed but to me, they do look reasonable and tally with my initial estimate of pricing and target market.
