Goodness, it’s a veritable orgy – an orgy, I tell you! – of unboxing photos today. the next under the kinky lens of the photographer (”honestly, darling, everybody does topless unboxing photos these days”) is ASUS’ greatly anticipated R2H UMPC, certainly the poster-child of the mini-Tablet revolution and, since its announcement following Microsoft’s all-too-successful Origami teaser campaign, the subject of plentiful spec speculation.
Mobile01.com got their hands on a boxed-up retail R2H and proceeded to encourage it out of its packaging. I must confess, my language skills aren’t much cop and so I’m not having much luck with the text of the article; however, there’s plenty of detail in the pictures…
First up, unsurprisingly, is the R2H unit itself – complete with a nylon travel case. It’s still arguably the most attractive of the UMPCs commercially available now, with the etched-out buttons and squared design reminiscent of Motorola’s incredibly successful RAZR cellphone.
Not a huge amount to see on the left side – mini-usb port, stylus dock and a place to hook your lanyard/hand-strap. Towards the top left of the photo you can see the gold fingerprint reader strip, which has proved incredibly useful for bypassing traditional keyboard-bashing passwords.
Bit more going on on the right side – wired ethernet and DVI monitor port underneath a nifty flap, with USB, microphone, stereo headphones and power running left to right next to it. On the top you can see the trackpoint-nipple for mousing.

What with a GPS, but no car docking station and no car power cord. Nice feature bad packaging ! Hope they sell this as an option !

Looks like a complete unit. Still, till the report on battery life (and extended life batteries) comes in, I will wait to order one.
NeutralThe other big concern is can the screen be easily viewed outside. If not, kind of negates the advantage of the intergrated gps.

This Company is nr. 1 !!! I’m seeling their products a lot for a years. Every year Asus is better. Their notebook computers almost without competition (doesn’t matter if it’s cheap or expensive model). This R2H is P E R V E R T !
All the best guys, (I’m typing this message on Asus M6NE notebook).

Me parece un juguetito muy bueno, espero baje un poco de precio, pero en general me parece que le pega al concepto de equipos portatiles y es muy completo en sus caracteristicas.
