Any way you look at it, you’ll think this is the Nokia N800 but NOW. A Chinese company named “XIACHAO” has ripped the design and made a GPS device running on Windows CE. Interesting thing is that they are calling it a UMPC named “UMPC001″(they must got creative at least with the name). Take a look at this.
The specifications look very similar to the Nokia N800 except for the operating system and the added built-in GPS receiver.

Take this with a grain of salt, like you we have no idea on when these devices will be ready, or who will be manufacturing them either. With that said, chances of knowing the specifications are ruled out. But these concepts look really cool (especially the first one)
One thing for sure, we’ll start seeing these products soon. From the images above, atleast the seconld prototype seems to be running vista, there is no clue on who the manufacturer is. Videos after the jump
Finally the very first prototype that Intel showed us is making its way in to mass production code named “earth”. All of you must have seen this device for sure. This is the very same prototype that Intel used to show the capabilities of the UMPC at its launch.
The device specification are not announced, you can expect this to be based on the Intel’s menlow platform. More pictures here
Not sure how we missed this one. About a month back asus has updated the R2H, now with Intel ULV Pentium M Processor 723 1.0GHz 2MB L2 Cache, 400 MHz FSB. There seems to be no difference in its case or design except for the specifications of the device.
Here is the updated spec

Remember the MID (Mobile Internet Device) that Intel launched along with their next version of the UMPC platform. They had some prototypes to support the idea, This is the same being done by a Finland company named EB. This is based in the Menlow platform; saying so, this will not hit the market until say mid of 2008.
EB MIMD represents a new category of devices providing fast, ubiquitous and portable broadband access. It provides rich end-user experience for browsing and WEB 2.0 services, multimedia consumption and navigation in a fully mobile environment. Pocketable size and instant-on feature ensure easiness of carrying with and using the device at any time…
