X-Bit labs shed some details on the Asus R2H, nothing new to most us but then they have some good Hi-Res pictures of R2H.
The device is pretty exciting, but too bulky to be an iPod rival. But Asus knows that and says that the product will be a “killer�? for portable media players (PMPs) that can playback music and videos, because UMPC is basically a small form-factor tablet PC without keyboard, which may allow to use much more functions compared to the PMP, being not more expensive compared to them: typical PMPs cost starting from $500, whereas a UMPC price should begin with $600, or just a little more. Generally, Asustek’s R2H complies to the guidelines set by Microsoft Corp. and features built-in web-cam, Bluetooth, WLAN, etc.

If I see one more comment about how the UMPC can’t compete with the iPod, I swear I’ll go stark raving mad.
Has nobody noticed the scandalous fact that the iPod is really crap as a lawn mower?
And what does it do to fight bad breath?
