Instead of giving you photo gallery and call it "hands-on with..." we are presenting here more interesting approach.... so firstly let's take a look at this chart from Samsung that compares old Q1 and more...Post your comment (free registration is required to post, but if you register you can edit your posts later) [ 2 Comments ]Another reason to buy ultra mobile PC: Tablet PC features in Windows Vista - Vista mobile phones coming March 05, 2007; [Ultra-Mobile PCs] Once upon a time, in a time long forgotten, Tablet PC was a special add-on on top of Windows XP Professional and available as "Tablet PC Edition" of that OS. 
Today, in modern times, not only Tablet PC features are pre-installed in contemporary Windows OS - Vista - but also ultra mobile PC computers of very small size, often with built-in cellular connectivity, and not just convertible notebook-looking Tablet PCs - are available on the market and they are equipped with Vista and all that powerful features of full size Tablet PCs! Several amazing Tablet PC features in Vista, including iPhone-like gestures (so called "pen flicks"), panning hand in IE and new touch pointer for multi-touch screens that handle both digitizer pen and finger in one device - are not only a good reason to upgrade your old Tablet PC to Vista but also a very good reason to forget about (yet) underpowered Windows Mobile and go straight to ultra mobile PC device: more...Post your comment (free registration is required to post, but if you register you can edit your posts later) [ 2 Comments ]CES 2007 : video interview with OQO about OQO model 02 mobile PC January 14, 2007; [Ultra-Mobile PCs] OQO model 02 mobile PC (apparently the world's smallest PC powered by Windows Vista!) offers cellular connectivity over CDMA EVDO network of Sprint (USA), so in a sense it could be considered as Microsoft powered (Windows Vista !) mobile phone! It is powered by full Windows Vista operating system so it can run Skype and all other applications for desktop PC computers. This is already second generation of OQO mobile PC computers so no more teething problems should be found in this unit... 
Here we present interview with OQO employee that our reporter carried out during CES 2007 (Flash-enabled browser needed): more...Post your comment (free registration is required to post, but if you register you can edit your posts later) [ 5 Comments ]CES 2007: UMPC from Seamless Internet - with full size keyboard and 8 hours battery life - goes on sale ! January 06, 2007; [Ultra-Mobile PCs] While "ePC" from DualCor still is not shipping and looks like it always was just a vaporware here comes quite usable UMPC that has decent battery life and full size QWERTY keyboard! ... and is available for immediate delivery!

Hopefully the HTC-designed and manufactured UMPC will have ability to make phone calls over regular cellular network! First usable mobile phone powered by Windows Vista Tablet PC edition apparently will be made by HTC and it is great news that HTC wants to release it already (!!!) next year: more...Post your comment (free registration is required to post, but if you register you can edit your posts later) [ 3 Comments ]First-hand report from IFA 2006 : Samsung Q1 with HSDPA support - presented and speed tested September 05, 2006; [Ultra-Mobile PCs] Are you tired of Windows Mobile phones because they lack full-blown Windows XP OS? ... but on the other hand you are tired also of notebooks with cellular connectivity, because they have keyboard and display, that are completely unusable and too clumsy in many mobile situations? So maybe an ultra mobile PC (UMPC) with built-in cellular connectivity, including the fastest one (HSDPA), would be something for you! more...Post your comment (free registration is required to post, but if you register you can edit your posts later)Vodafone Mobile Connect USB Modem brings UMTS and HSDPA also to UMPC and other mini PC computers August 08, 2006; [Ultra-Mobile PCs] Not just users of Mac computers but also users of various mini PCs powered by Windows XP and Windows XP Tablet PC edition can benefit from USB connectivity of this superb new UMTS/HSDBA USB Modem - probably manufactured by Huawei but branded and sold by Vodafone. Since these ultra mobile PCs have no PCMCIA card slot, having ability to use UMTS/HSDBA modem over USB will be very appreciated.

Later on cPC "engineering sample" units were being shipped for early adopters but they were not featuring any wireless built-in! Now it looks like DualCor - makers of cPC - are backpedalling and after all Wi-Fi and Bluetooth will be built-in: more...Post your comment (free registration is required to post, but if you register you can edit your posts later)ALK and DELL release CoPilot Navigator 9 GPS Nav for Windows XP June 09, 2006; [Ultra-Mobile PCs] GPS unit used here is based on new software processing technology that uses power of the computer to higher extend... besides: it is nice deal for ALK Technologies - known by now as one of main providers of navigation software also for Windows Mobile...
