i7209 Photo Album

I just received a some pictures of the TabletKiosk eo i7209 from TodoUMPC.com, one of the distributors of TabletKiosk in Europe.

IMHO, the i7210 is one of the best UMPC released in this first generation. I just uploaded all pictures here.

Where are the HID Drivers for Q1?

This is the question I asked Samsung at Ultranauts.com. Without the HID Drivers, the Samsung Q1 is just not more than a unfinished product released by Samsung. Without the HID Drivers, the Q1 is not recognized like a device using a digitizer but just a mouse and as we all know, the Q1 does not have a mouse!

Do You want mobility?

If you want mobility probably you will find this review very useful.

Linda A. Epstein has tested the Franklin Wireless USB Modem EVDO and she found it to be "An excellent solution for anyone using Tablet PCs or Ultra Mobile Pcs that do not have a PC slot and want the ability to have an Internet Connection Anywhere, Anytime. "

New Samsung coming soon!

Josh, this one is for you! ;)

If you thought for just one second that the SA1F00 was "cool" you were wrong. If you thought that Sony's UX series was the best design you have ever seen, YOU ARE WRONG!

Windows XP, a 30GB hard disk, 256MB of RAM, a 5” display, a 1GHz CPU, WiMAX, CDMA EV-DO, and a 1.3Mpix camera. It measures 143x94x29mm and weights 580g.

The SPH-P9000 will be launched in Korea first half of 2007.

Thanks Jeff (from France) fro this tip!

New UMPC coming from Japan

Akihabara News has discovered what seems to be new UMPC coming soon from Japan.

As you can see from the above Picture this UMPC could become the first convertible UMPC to hit the market.

According to Pocketables.net:

Available in two configurations, the 2-pound devices will run Windows XP Home Edition on an AMD Geode LX800 processor and be equipped with WLAN, Bluetooth, Compact Flash card slot, some kind of additional 3-in-1 media card slot, and what I think is a 7-inch widescreen display. The 40GB SAF100A and 80GB SAF100B (termed the "office model") can be ordered with either 512MB or 1GB of memory; the 512MB models will sell for just $760 and $930, respectively, when they start shipping in December.

How you can use the CF slot of your Q1

The Compact Flash slot is one of the best features that the Samsung Q1 has. Yes, the CF cards are old and slow but I prefer to have this slot than a SD Card one. If you want to know why just check this article.

Universal Car Mounting Solution for UMPC

I just received two pictures of an Universal Car Mounting that I mentioned the other day but this time being used with a real UMPC - TabletKiosk eo v7110.

This car mounting solution is being sold by TodoUMPC.com. You have to buy the UMPC Holder (56.04 Euros), to call it in some way, and the arm (from 56 to 103 Euros depending of the length). According to TodoUMPC, they have talked to manufacturer to see if they can paint the aluminum UMPC holder to match the color of the arm and that all parts of holder touching the UMPC are protected to avoid any scratches to UMPC. They ship worldwide.

I read long time ago a review about this suction cup and I think that it can hold up to 100 pounds, but I'm not sure about this number because like I said, I read it long time ago.

Taskswitcher a must have

I just posted about this at Ultranauts, TaskSwitcher is one of those little programs that once you use it one time you can't live without it.

TaskSwitcher is a small application specifically written for UMPC touchscreen computers that gives you instant access to various useful functions that are otherwise a little more tricky on a computer without a keyboard.

TaskSwitch is a freeware and can be downloaded here.

Uren

One of my readers (Jeff from France) sent me this link of a new device called UREN. I do not understand Korean but it seems to me that it's a device running XP, with GPS integrated. The display is a 7" and it works at 800x480.

I like the design of this device because it use the most it's possible the space in the front of the device for the display making it smaller.
