Windows Vista in your pocket on June 20th

Filed in UMPC, Windows Vista
Wilcom has been touting these miniature handhelds for quite some time now, but the D4 has yet to get a Stateside release date…until now. The diminutive UMPC sports a full version of Windows Vista, running atop a 1.33 Ghz Intel Centrino processor, 40GB hard drive, 1GB RAM, Bluetooth, 802.11 b/g, and a 5 inch WSVGA touch screen. Pretty appealing stuff, but running Vista on a 1.33 Ghz Celeron processor with only 1 GB of RAM? Sounds like a potential train wreck to us. Regardless, if this is something you’re after, you’ll be able grab one from GeekStuff4U on June 20th. Sadly, the $1,526 excludes any sort of wireless broadband connectivity, but small is still appealing in its own right, we suppose.

Having Vista on a home PC is enough of a nightmare, who in their right mind would want Vista on their phone???

I believe it’s an Intel Centrino Atom processor, to be specific. It looks like it competes against the OQO Model 02. A similarly configured OQO is $1300 (but has only 512MB of memory) or $1700 (but has a 60GB hard drive, and potentially a faster processor. No one really knows for sure how well Atom performs yet as compared to a VIA C7M ULV).

It looks nice, and the specs aren’t terrible but Vista on 1GB of memory is terrible.

At least change the name of the image if you’re not going to credit the original source!

Wonder how does that compare with HTC Shift in terms of performance. Both runs Vista. An interesting UMPC nevertheless.
