Tecnology and good wine

Imagine that you own a wine-bar and you have more than 12000 bottles of wine in your warehouse. What can you do to easily let your customers pick what they want drink? Monvínic is a wine-bar with a little restaurant and even a library where you can learn all you need about wines.

This company decided to use a sophisticated system with Amtek T226 TabletPCs provided by todoUMPC to help customers to pick their drinks from 3000 types of wines. All they have to do is to use the touch screen selecting the wine and the order is taken and served in few minutes.

Amtek U560 UMPC review at UMPCPortal.com

For some reason my RSS feed from UMPCPortal is not working any more and as result I missed this wonderful review shot and written by Steve "Chippy"

This is the first time I've used XP on a Stealey CPU for any length of time and I have to say that, in combination with the GMA950 it's a great performer. Not as fast as my Q1P but faster than the 1.2Ghz WiBrain I'm also testing at the moment. In terms of video playback performance I was incredibly impressed...and then I noticed that the device was in 600Mhz battery saving mode. When I switched it into full-power mode, increasing the cpu speed by 30%, it was really impressive and handled about every video I threw at it. Right up to a 7Mbps WMV HD video. Even games were running well. Call of Duty (see video) a demo installed on the test device, worked impressively smoothly. Take a look at the videos below which were done with the device locked at 600Mhz.

Adding a SD Card Reader to an eo

I could not believe it until I saw the pictures. A few weeks ago Daniel from ThoughtFix, added a USB Hub to his eo v7110 but... 

Two open USB ports inside my eo were nagging me. I decided to hack it again - this time with an SD card reader.

The things this guy is doing to his UMPC are hard to believe just to put it in some way, and I doubt that somebody else is going to follow his instructions but it's always interesting to see what can be done to this devices. is not it?

ViaArena presents The Amtek T770 UMPC

This is what the Amtek T700 should have been. A device with a good performance to be a VIA, that performs very well while playing videos, a device that even when it still warm it does not get really hot like the T700 did. You can read a review about this device that I wrote a while ago here, and enjoy this wonderful video review from ViaArena.

The Amtek T770 is a UMPC with a great set of speakers, highly accurate touch screen and a crisp 7 inch screen. This video shows you all of its features.
