We did hear about HTC entering in to the UMPC Market. The much rumored Athena X7500 is not an UMPC but a Windows Mobile PC.
This spec seems to be
- 400MHz Samsung processor
- 3.55-inch QVGA touch-screen with stylus and detachable QWERTY(yes, detachable when you need to keep things light.)
- UMTS 2100 with tri-band GSM/GPRS radio (no EDGE or HSDPA)
- 802.11b/g WiFi
- 256MB ROM
- 64MB RAM
- 2 megapixel camera
- SD expansion
- and USB 1.1 interface.
The interesting seems to be the detachable keyboard. Well with the specs above we are not even sure if it will the US markets anytime soon.

The company has introduced the all in one multi functional device, that is a PMP, Phone, UMPC, Camera, etc… Wish we had a simple good looking not so pricey UMPC that would rock the market. Though the device looks very similar to the much awaited Averatec AHI (except for it’s odd color combinations)
… it’s new wireless IP-based hybrid portable device equipped with dual OS, dubbed ‘HDPC (Hybrid Dual Portable Computer)’. As the name ‘HDPC’ signifies, its built-in module offers various functions of multiple devices such as digital camera/web camera, MP3P, portable storage, and USB cable.
According to MIU, you can also make a call with the M*free at lower price than conventional mobile phones with better quality than existing VoIP service by utilizing the company’s exclusive IP-based telephone communication which is different from conventional VoIP service.
The M*free is expected to be available in the first half of next year and the price would be between 700,000(KRW) and 800,000(KRW).
That’s ~ US $765 to $875.

WiBro seems to be taking off in Korea. We did head about this device from Sodiff back in June. The company has updated the site with more information. They initially were hoping for a release in November (this month) not sure if they will.
According to Sodiff, the device seems to have
- 4.3” Wide LCD Panel 800x 480 pixels
- Built in Camera 0.3M x1 , 2M x 1
- Network WiBro RF Modem Include
- Secure Chip UICC (SIM Socket)
- QWERTY KeyBoard & Touch screen
- External DIM 24Pin & USB ports
- CPU Intel PXA 270
- MicroSoft Windows CE
- T-DMB ( DATA Include)
- Voice over IP Phone Support
- Mpeg4, AVI, MP3 Play (as usual…)
This is very close to the specifications of Vega or the iStation S43 or the new Samsung SPH-P9000 that we noticed few days back.
