The OQO 02 has always seemed like the perfect match for purpose-built GPS unit. Thanks to Garmin, that dream is now a reality. The two companies have combined forces to bring a special OQO-edition Garmin GPS unit. The bundle includes a Garmin Mobile PC adapter, RAM car mount, and a car/airplane power adapter. Garmin apparently [...]

 
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 [...]

The Eee line keeps getting more interesting. Asus has just confirmed that they will be launching a touchscreen-enabled Eee PC by May or June of this year. The new model will also sport GPS. Pricing on the touchscreen Eee is expected to come in at around $500, which isn’t bad at all. No word on [...]

I’m going to keep this pretty short just because the unit is like, uh, almost identical to the GSM one we tore apart and reviewed a little while back. The HTC Shift is coming stateside, as you all know by now. It’s going to be available starting today, and is a Sprint unit. So besides [...]

If you were asked on the spot to describe and sketch the perfect mobile device that accommodates all of your needs, wants and beyond, it would probably look absolutely nothing like MIU’s new HDPC. In terms of functionality however, MIU probably came pretty close to hitting the nail on the head. Its latest offering, dubbed [...]

Yeah dudes, we actually have the HTC Shift in hand! We haven’t had a chance to put it through our normal tests yet, but believe we’ll have that soon. The Shift isn’t as big as you’d think even though it has a 7" screen, and the while the slide mechanism is not spring-assisted like the [...]

Does the low clock speed of the stock processor in your Asus Eee PC bother you? Well lucky for you, an extreme modder by the name of "guryhwa" has pulled of a Herculean feat, somehow managing to cram a 1.2 GHz Pentium M processor into his tiny Eee. To be clear, this is a hack [...]

Engadget’s got some product shots of the rumored HP 2133 UMPC, and we’re hearing it could see a May release. The specs are kind of sexy, too: 8.9-inch 1366 x 766 (WXGA) display, Wi-Fi, almost full QWERTY keyboard, webcam, an option SSD drive, and an ExpressCard/54 slot. Weight? 2.5 pounds. Hey, we’re happy. The more competition [...]

Man, they must be itching to get these things moving! $699? At the end of the day, the specs are pretty impressive at that price point, but, well, you already know our feelings.
