Latest Mobile Windows News: cPC will have built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth after all - but no cellular July 22, 2006; [Ultra-Mobile PCs] Initially cPC mobile computer with 2 processors and 2 operating systems was touted as Pocket PC phone (!) and Tablet PC in one! 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...

Since nowadays high-end smartphones/PDA phones are more expensive than some notebooks and ultra-mobile PCs, importance of mobile solutions for computers powered by Windows XP (and soon: Windows Vista) will be increasing... more...Post your comment (free registration is required to post, but if you register you can edit your posts later) Sony VAIO UX now official May 16, 2006; [Ultra-Mobile PCs] This is a micro PC that takes your breath away just with looks:

By end of May 2006 (this month!) several UMPC computers will be on sale (including very stylish Samsung Q1) so probably DualCor company decided to cut on features to shorten delivery date and is releasing cPC without (promised) mobile phone functionality built-in - just as an UMPC device with typical "touch pack" from Microsoft (application for Windows XP - similar to "Media Center" in MCE - that facilitates usage of the device with touch screen rather than with digitizer for which Tablet PC platform was originally designed):

Anyway: 3 years warranty and rich functionality (including Pocket PC phone and Windows XP in one device) may however justify this steep price ... for enterprises, but may make it not worth consideration for end users (consumers). more...Post your comment (free registration is required to post, but if you register you can edit your posts later) [ 3 Comments ]DualCor cPC available for purchase for selected companies in early adopter program April 01, 2006; [Ultra-Mobile PCs] cPC from DualCor company is the only device that combines Windows Mobile for Pocket PC Phone Edition and Windows XP Tablet PC Edition in one device. It looks like DualCor failed to deliver on promise: to release the cPC in Q1 2006, so to save face they are announcing "LEAP" program designed for corporate customers - consumers still will not be able to buy this device. 
There are 2 explanations of this situation: either DualCor cPC is a vaporware and once venture capital money will be used up, the company will go bankrupt, or, possibly: seeing that Microsoft Origami (Ultra Mobile PC) devices are coming soon (May 2006) the DualCor is repositioning itself to abandon consumer market and to focus on corporate market (companies) instead. The window of opportunity for cPC device is short - Origami/UPMC computers are coming very soon - so DualCor must hurry up in order not to become yet another Gizmondo-like failure... more...Post your comment (free registration is required to post, but if you register you can edit your posts later) [ 9 Comments ]CeBIT 2006: hands-on with Microsoft Origami (Ultra Mobile PC) - is it worth all that buzz?

March 07, 2006; [Ultra-Mobile PCs] This week on March 9, 2006, CeBIT 2006 trade show opens and at the same time Microsoft will unveil then the Microsoft Origami Project - also at the CeBIT trade show (the biggest trade show about Information Technology and Communications in the world - we will be there on location as accredited press). In meantime an information about UMPC.com website has leaked, that may actually contain fresher information about Origami, than over one year old Flash presentation, that obviously (according to Microsoft employees) is a very old initial phase of this Origami concept development. Anyway: maybe instead of buying very sophisticated Pocket PC phone, users could consider buying a small Microsoft Smartphone in combination with Ultra Mobile PC (Origami): 
... that will be less expensive than Tablet PC computers and only slightly more expensive than top notch Pocket PC phones! Truly Microsoft Origami may force some people to rethink mobility! Maybe it is the end of Pocket PC platform?

Now they try to expand into Tablet PC software...
