It’s been a while since Via made any big announcements on their UMPC platform and CX-7 chipsets. Now comes the iDOT UMPC CE260 & CE261 in all its glory. Imagine paying just about $600 (all long dream for the UMPC market) for a full fledged UMPC that’s less that 2 lbs named the “Nanobook”
[The clock thing looks like the 80's though]
Here are the specs:
- Windows XP or Vista
- less than 850g (1.87 pounds)
- 1.2GHz VIA C7-M processor
- Up to 1GB of RAM
- 30GB hard drive
- 7-inch WVGA display
- 802.11g WiFi
- Bluetooth
- DVI-out and slots for GPS, VoIP, or WWAN module
- Up to five hours of battery life
The specs are decent and for $600 I think its a great deal. Packard Bell will also use the reference design for the EasyNote XS.
