Remember that Kohjinsha UMPC alternative that we saw few days back. PC Watch of japan has reviewed the product, but for those who cannot read Japanese, we are limited to the automatic translators out there.

INFILL - drive with the UMPC
Posted by Joe in Accessories, Announcements, Car UMPC, Hardware and Specs. 5 CommentsYou must have heard about the UREN (you know how to pronounce it) UMPC that was built for Cars. This seems much better. This device was announced in Intel developer Conference at Seoul from a company called “INFILL” product dubbed the “G4″.
The most important thing about the device is that it’s made for your car, period. They seem have built a lot of custom software that are apt for being used in car. This could potentially replace your main audio, video, GPS, Radio, TV in your car.

This week has been a busy week, there are so many new products of interest being unveiled. We heard about Fujitsu working on such a device back in march. But this is more interesting.
This is just the size of a CD case and has touchscreen capabilities. With its size the company feels its would be used for a lot of mobile applications and music. It has a built in camera too.
Now, as for the specs nothing is disclosed yet. From the image they also seem to have some games being prepared for it. So is that screen something like the Microsoft Touchpack? Well we’ll have to wait and see. Does this look like a Mac Mini much smaller and kinda sliced?? (or is it just me)
More pictures after the jump… Continue reading ‘Fujitsu unveils a new UMPC’

WiBro seems to be taking off in Korea. We did head about this device from Sodiff back in June. The company has updated the site with more information. They initially were hoping for a release in November (this month) not sure if they will.
According to Sodiff, the device seems to have
- 4.3” Wide LCD Panel 800x 480 pixels
- Built in Camera 0.3M x1 , 2M x 1
- Network WiBro RF Modem Include
- Secure Chip UICC (SIM Socket)
- QWERTY KeyBoard & Touch screen
- External DIM 24Pin & USB ports
- CPU Intel PXA 270
- MicroSoft Windows CE
- T-DMB ( DATA Include)
- Voice over IP Phone Support
- Mpeg4, AVI, MP3 Play (as usual…)
This is very close to the specifications of Vega or the iStation S43 or the new Samsung SPH-P9000 that we noticed few days back.
