Sling media today announced the UMPC skin for the player.
This skin is specially designed for UMPC owners who want to control the SlingPlayer with the touch-screen interface. Commonly used controls are displayed extra-large, and it has the same blue-ish theme that is default in the UMPC Program Launcher. Got a UMPC? Gotta get this skin!
Please note that you must be running SlingPlayer 1.2 or better to use the skin feature.

Kevin showed us the details and the insight of recovering his “sammy” (Samsung Q1) which involved 3 CDs a while back. Now it’s Hugo’s turn, One thing to note is that it only took less than 20 minutes for Hugo to recover his Tabletkiosk eo! Sweet. He also tells us that…

iLounge also reports that Microsoft is already approaching iPod accessory makers for zune. If you have not seen the video of the iPod (killer) packaging of microsoft - you should.

Unlike the other UMPCs, CNET seems to be impressed with the ASUS.
Whereas we were fairly underwhelmed by the Samsung Q1, we’re pretty enamoured with the R2H. It has more features and though it’s slightly less portable, we think it’s much more functional
This being a pre-production unit, they had some glitches which i hope will be taken care of. Way to go Asus!
