Samsung’s SPH-P9000 UMPC grabbed hearts and attention at the end of last year bringing a new level of twisty, bendy, foldable loveliness to the ultraportable table. Now their follow-up, the SPH-P9200, has broken cover – it might look pretty sparse on specs, but the low-voltage VIA processor should manage some decent battery life. Chippy over at UMPC Portal has managed to dig up the user manual [pdf link] and of course there’s a video (after the cut) of the device in action at GITEX 2007.
Ignore the processor and take a look at the networking options – HSDPA, WiFi and WiBro – and imagine yourself playing on your lovely UMPC wherever your heart leads you. I’m really looking forward to getting my hands on one!

I agree this is the perfect mobile laptop for basic business users! I’ve wanted a touch type jacket size device forever and this just might be the first such unit! Where can we purchase them in the US?

I’ve read estimates that range from $1500-$2000 and so far it looks like it will only be available in Korea for the time being. I’m disappointed on the standard battery though… maybe just me but I think the standard should be giving approx 5 hours of run time.

This is the best UMPC so far! I was wondering when companies would realize a thumb or pen input is not enough for full windows programs. I hope they release it for international sales soon. This is a lot better than their Q1 or even their new Q1U-CMXP in my opinion.

This is the first usable UMPC I have seen so far. I hope these are available soon as I really would like to buy a computer that I can carry everywhere yet has a real keyboard. I think all of the computer companies should learn from this model on what kind of UMPC would sell. I agree with others here, I HATE thumb keyboard! UMPC’s run normal desktop software so when has there ever been any demand for a thumb input when your using desktop software? Never is the answer.
