(Just a personal viewpoint)

This looks like a good START, but $1500? It would be horribly underpowered with only 1.3Ghz of power, especially with the 1GB of RAM. The OQO is a much better option, because it has mobile broadband. I thought the whole UMPC thing was about being able to get on the web anywhere, if that’s the case this is a terrible design, at least for that price. I would really be pissed knowing that i was too cheap to pay $150 to get a mobile modem in my UMPC. In the end anything with a mobile broadband option will win in the UMPC world. (Again, just a personal viewpoint on UMPC’s)

I would love to have one of this thing, but the price is a bit to high, I guess is worth that, but who is willing to pay for it…, it fears losing are being stolen easy!

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

I feel sorry for them, spending all that money for useless technology. Vista…

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

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

Sorry but a UMPC is not a cell 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).

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