This is a great news. Asus is in the right direction(if its true) making R2H available through all its online resellers. This would mean anyone can order from anywhere unlike the other UMPCs limited availability. Over at propstm the word is
…shipments should be in by the beginning of October if not by the end of September. The device should be available through ASUS’ online resellers. When I asked about the pricing she said that the device would be $999. She said that the price would be for a standard model. She said that the standard model has a 60GB hard drive with 768MB RAM. She confirmed that the device also has the embedded GPS, camera, WI-FI, and Bluetooth

Well Hugo might not own all of these but take a look.
Front to Back:
EO V7110, RaonDigital Vega, EO i7210, Samsung Q1, Fujitsu P1610 and T4210.
He says he is getting ready to test them all (!) so we’ll have a good comparison of all these devices soon I hope.

Apple today annonced some new products but it was not what the rumors (a fullscreen video ipod) was all about. They had updated the iPods and redesigned the nano and made the shuffle the world’s smallest MP3 player and cheaper. One thing which was interesting is the iTunes Movie Store (with the same old DRM thing) which can now be played in iTunes, iPod and your big screen TV (wait did I say TV) yes TV, they also demonstrated a prototype named iTV (shceduled to be released Q1 2007) a set-top box that can stream your videos, audio and photos from your computer.
This is an interesting thing So will iTv work with the UMPC? I guess not. Calling those geeks in the Wild - Can we? Is that possible? Will UMPC share apple’s success? Anyways as for other the UMPC updates

There was Samsung Q1, and then Q1b and now i read Q1P (Am I reading it wrong?) Well according to sources at Digitimes
The Chinese-language Commercial Times reported that VIA Technologies has kicked off volume shipments of 100,000 ULV (ultra low voltage) solutions, the VIA C7-M processor and VX700 chipset, for the Samsung Q1P Ultra Mobile PC (UMPC). VIA on July 7 announced its VIA VX700 chipset for UMPC devices, together with the C7-M/ULV processors.

Catcher seems to be doing just that. With all the specifications they have announced the device should be easily more than 2K. The price of the unit is not announced yet.
This device is powered by Windows Tablet PC, Intel® Mobile Pentium M Processor 1.7 GHz, 2 GB DDR RAM, 40 GB Hard Drive and has everything that you need in a mobile pc. It also sports a built in GPS reciever, Biometric Fingerprint scanner & Camera. The unit has a slightly smaller screen (6.4″) but sure enough packed with fetures, not to mention the CDMA or GSM/GPRS and the Ultra Wide Band (UWB) which are optional upgrades.
