Gigabyte have revealed pricing for their M528 MID, which we last saw back at CeBIT 2008. The compact device has a 4.8-inch touchscreen, slide-out QWERTY keyboard, GPS, 3G HSDPA and dual cameras (VGA up front, 3-megapixel with autofocus round the back). Storage is courtesy of a 4GB SSD, while the processor is an 800Mhz Silverthorne/Poulsbo [...]
While most budget ultraportable manufacturers have been jumping up and down, screaming across Computex that we look at their notebooks, Dell has remained all but silent on the subject of its upcoming rival. What we do know, courtesy of an international briefing held in Dell’s Texas headquarters, is that the company has decided on a [...]
Remember the Gigabyte M704? Billed as the smallest 7-inch 1024 × 600 UMPC on the market, we briefly spent some time with the 780g device at CEBIT 2008 and came away, if not madly impressed, then at least still curious. Now Mobile01 have unboxed and reviewed the M704 - complete with its modular GPS and DVB-T accessories, [...]
After teasing with a foam mockup, Art Lebedev Studios have released the first 3D prototype shot of the in-development Optimus Popularis keyboard. The keyboard is shorter than the original Optimus Maximus, with the extra row of shortcut keys moved from the left of the main keys to above the function keys. However it seems to [...]
Art Lebedev Studios, the team behind the Optimus Maximus keyboard, have released some fresh (if scant) detail on their next project. Named Optimus Popularis, as the name suggests it’s another keyboard but one aimed more at general consumers. Estimating a sub-$1,000 final pricetag, it apparently won’t use OLEDs for the keys but ”will be based on [...]
Willcom’s D4 has been hailed by many as the UMPC that could finally bridge the gap between the ultramobile PC platform and the smartphone (at least if the price is right). The lucky guys at Akihabara happen to be right next to Willcom’s office in Tokyo, and managed to borrow a D4 alpha-prototype to see just how [...]
Just because the chips are in short supply, doesn’t mean the manufacturers aren’t insisting on using them. Fujitsu’s U810 UMPC is the latest recipient of Intel’s Atom processor, together with an altered casing, keyboard and name. Now under the moniker U2010, the keyboard has six rows compared to the U810’s five, and there’s built-in 3.5G [...]
Digitalcube’s i-station UDIC may look like a mini-convertible UMPC, but in actual fact it’s an electronic dictionary. Still, that doesn’t really do the handheld device justice: it’s a dictionary with 50 languages, as well as text-to-speech, “native speakers” pronunciation guides and the i-TRANS translating service. Available in two versions, both have hard-drives: one 30GB, the other [...]
