In preparation for the big event(CES) a lot of companies are getting their devices ready. Not to mention those detailes that have already been made public before the announcements, here is a recap

  • SanDisk will be announcing the new 32GB SSD -it’s good that many manufactures are stepping in, obviously bringing down the price tag. [via engadget]
  • iRiver is set to announce variety of devices including the one dubbed “W10″ that is similar to the UMPC but not exactly, the specs are not clear yet but it will have WiFi, VOIP and audio playing capabilities.

  • Someone has done cool plugin to IE that would convert the youtube or Google videos in to Windows based formats to be played on a Zune. Now that does not limit us from using it on a UMPC, well though the UMPC has a full featured OS and a browser, you might not be online all the time, say when you are travelling.

  • Speaking of being connected while travelling, a company named Autonet Mobile has something cool, yes a mobile broadband connection in your car. Check it out

A great year ahead

newyear.jpgWe wish you all a great year ahead. Last year was a great year for us, with Origami campaign that kicked off early last year to the launch of the UMPCs in March and tones of updates of them all along.

This year is going to be even more interesting that would sport a whole lot of new UMPCs that are next generation. Our site has grown, keeping all the news and updates focused on only UMPC. Thanks to each and every one of you. Not to mention you are the person of the year (2006) as Times calls it - “you” (bloggers and you who commented). Onlyumpc.com had about half a million page views. Well it’s nothing compared to other great sites out there, but still we want to thank you for what we are today.

There is going to be lots and lots of news and updates on UMPCs this month with the CES just close. Tune in. Again we wish you a happy and a prosperous year ahead.
