Watch out for these devices!

Looks like some considerable number of UMPCs and tablet PCs has been stolen from the Tabletkiosk warehouse. Rob of GottabeMobile has noted that TabletKiosk is seeking the online community to give them tips if they spot something. Here is the mail from TabletKiosk

The Tablet PC and UMPC fan base is often referred to as a community.  This is why I am reaching out to the online Tablet and UMPC fan base so that we can all respond in a unified front.

On Sunday, February 11, the TabletKiosk warehouse in Torrance, CA was robbed.  The thieves stole a considerable number of Sahara Slate PCs, eo v7110s and eo v7210 units.

We are working with the police to catch the perpetrators and retrieve the stolen units and are exploring every possible avenue.  This is why we are asking for assistance from the Tablet and UMPC community who often uncover significant information about Tablet PCs and UMPCs online.

The stolen units are both pre-configured and configured units as well as some customers’ personal machines.

If you find information about any eo UMPC or Sahara Slate PCs for sale which seem too good to be true, I would appreciate if you would send the information to my attention.  A reward will be provided for the person who provides us with information leading to the culprit.
