Coxion . New mobile computing products.

From the land where unlimited 1Mbps 3G connectivity costs 10 euro per month and were many mobile phones are born comes not one, but two ultra mobile PC announcements.

Coxion have been in the mobile computing market for a while, selling mainly to business and vertical market customers (that means bulk sales!). They’ve contacted me to let me know that there’s new things going on!

Firstly, the WebBook 3G. The new version of the WebBook (here’s the existing one.) looks interesting. The unit is slightly re-designed, will utilise Windows XP embedded and has 3G support built in. The design looks very much like what we’d like to see in our Carrypad concept, although it’s not ideal for consumers as it’s using Windows XP embedded. We’ll try and get hold of detailed specs for this one.

More interesting though, is the information about UMPC’s. Coxion aren’t just reselling UMPC’s, they’re modding them too! Thats right. If you want UMPC’s with flash drive and 3G module built in, have a word with them. We’re going to torment them into giving us a modded eo/t700/P7 with a few new accesories they’ve been working on.

On their new mobile computing web page they show the WebBook range and the Tablet Kiosk 7200 series UMPC.
[Correction. Its an unbranded 7200/H70/Mininote thats shown on the website.]

If you’re in Europe and looking at a bulk ultra mobile PC purchase, it could be worth having a chat with Coxion. I wonder if they’re able to get me on of those lovely Tablet Kiosk i7210 UMPC’s?
