Domains: what was UMPC.com originally?

This is not connected to any hardware or touchpack or anything, thought it would be interesting to share something that we found.

UMPC Buzz had a posting on the domain name which is for sale for $10000.00, and how it sees it [click here to read the article]. There was another posting on UMPC community site, related to the same [read it here]. Now UMPC.com was originally owned by Health Club, which i guess they had it for sale from September 2003 for $1950.00 The price of the domain went up to $3725.00 on March 2005.

No idea on when Intel bought it and for how much but here is how the site looked back then

UPDATE: Oh boy! Will you ever need such domains? Well click here to see what we mean?

So, Are UMPCs really that Ultra Mobile?

For those of you who visited our previous site OnlyOrigami.com, we had this posted before the UMPC were unveiled. Now that we know what the dimensions of various UMPCs that will hit the stores - here is the comparison again. There should be a way to make these much smaller - Don’t you think ?

Let’s get real: UMPCity (umpct.com) has a great snap of comparing the Nokia and the Samsung Q1, oh BTW both sport the same resolution of 800 X 480 Click here to view it




Allegiance: already taking Pre-Orders $899!(price not finalized)

Oh Well, this is great; except for those few lucky ones at CeBIT no one had really a chance to look at the device (leave alone playing with it) this company is already taking pre-orders

This first-to-market Ultra Mobile PC is the latest technology for people on the go. Sleek and powerful, the TabletKiosk is everything you ever wanted in a mobile PC. Delivery is expected at the end of April and we will ship units on a first-ordered, first-served basis. Pricing on units, memory and hard drive upgrades has not been finalized, but the numbers you see should be very close. Of course, our Allegiance “Happiness Guarantee” is always in effect.

List price is estimated at $899 but this could change depending on the final configuration.

We are not sure when the product would actually start shipping though(they say it’s the end of april): Click here to View the site

UPDATE: Thanks to Layne Heiny who let us know that Martin (TabletKiosk) has not finalized pricing and this is ONLY an estimate

Intel’s UMPC, the sleek multi-slilding one

You must have seen this in the Usage Video on the UMPC community site (if not click here), but this video is the actual product demo at CeBIT, but you might be able to see a production model of this - like may be in 2 years !…

Oh SmartCaddie: Site still says coming soon

The only thing that we could think of is that- they need some help in making their smartcaddie site. The company said on 13th of March the site would have more information and sadly the only more information we have is the this image and coming soon text.
