Sony will be releasing their latest addition to their VAIO UX line here in the US soon. The updates include Vista Business and a new Intel Core 2 Solo processor.
Other than that you will be hit with 48GB of SSD storage, which is probably where most of the $2500 price tag comes from, but should [...]
There is some new design features, specifically some new buttons and locations for old buttons, the keyboard is still split though. This device has a fairly amazing 4.8” WSVGA touch screen too, with a 1024×600 resolution which is pretty good for a UMPC.
It now runs a VIA C7M processor which gives it a whopping 1.2GHz [...]
HTC’s headline-grabbing Shift ultra-portable - which dual-boots into both Vista and Windows Mobile 6 - has appeared for pre-order on a variety of websites in Europe. So far the UK and Germany have the bulk of the information, with Expansys.de claiming delivery on 29th November for German customers while Portix.com quote the 20th November for [...]
What do you call a grown-up UMPC? That’s the question over at jkOnTheRun, where a dishevelled Kevin Tofel has taken delivery of a VYE S37 from import specialist Dynamism. Based on a platform by Kohjinsha - who have featured regularly on SlashGear’s pages for their ultra-compact convertible Tablet PCs - the S37 is nonetheless its own beast, [...]
The lucky lovelies over at pcdebolso.com managed to acquire (let’s ask no questions) a pre-production HTC Shift for five days, and proceeded to examine it both from the perspective as a compact, Vista-running UMPC and as a large, Windows Mobile-running PDA. Unsurprisingly, perhaps, the Shift although impressive doesn’t manage to succeed 100% in both categories; [...]
Packard Bell’s first foray into the UMPC market (based on a VIA reference design, you may remember) has finally been fleshed out with some more information having appeared on the company website as “coming soon”. With a street price of £349 ($710, but remember that UK price includes tax) the EasyNote XS has a 7-inch [...]
If you’ve been even just a little tempted by Fujitsu’s indecently-compact LifeBook U810(the US version of the U1010) then you’ll be pleased to know that there’re a growing number of reviews for the tiny convertible. Obviously when you’re playing with something that measures close to 6-inches square the usual rules about “no fat fingers” apply, [...]
Well we knew they were coming in general, and now we know that the latest Sony UMPC - the VGN-UX490N - will be landing in the US complete with a 1.2GHz Core 2 Solo processor and 48GB SSD drive.

Remember the cute little Linux-powered MTube UMPC prototypefrom last week? Well, if you were having doubts that you could pack a VIA 1.0GHz CPU, 8GB of flash memory and 2.8-inch VGA touchscreen into a super-small casing, together with WiFi and WiMAX, andhave it actually work, then consider your doubts quashed; Bjorn Stronberg over at UltraMobileLife was allowed [...]
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 [...]
