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.

It’s yet another addition to the Car PCs that were announced of late.
The iMobile CarPC is a full fledged PC that fits in those double-sized car stereo slots. Yea, it does turn by turn with the built in GPS module and its 6.5-inch touchscreen. But on top of Windows, it runs a top layer UI program, like media center, with big buttons that makes for easier clicking while swerving. The cool thing is that it has both Bluetooth and a PC Card slot.
The PC also has a light sensor that switches the display from day to night mode, Core Duo chips, a 40gb HDD, a DVD drive, half a gig of RAM, an AM/FM tuner, XM hookups, and a 40 watt, 4 channel amp for driving speakers directly.

You must have heard about the UREN (you know how to pronounce it) UMPC that was built for Cars. This seems much better. This device was announced in Intel developer Conference at Seoul from a company called “INFILL” product dubbed the “G4″.
The most important thing about the device is that it’s made for your car, period. They seem have built a lot of custom software that are apt for being used in car. This could potentially replace your main audio, video, GPS, Radio, TV in your car.

This week has been a busy week, there are so many new products of interest being unveiled. We heard about Fujitsu working on such a device back in march. But this is more interesting.
This is just the size of a CD case and has touchscreen capabilities. With its size the company feels its would be used for a lot of mobile applications and music. It has a built in camera too.
Now, as for the specs nothing is disclosed yet. From the image they also seem to have some games being prepared for it. So is that screen something like the Microsoft Touchpack? Well we’ll have to wait and see. Does this look like a Mac Mini much smaller and kinda sliced?? (or is it just me)
More pictures after the jump… Continue reading ‘Fujitsu unveils a new UMPC’
