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.

…a 7in touch screen LCD with 800 x 480 resolution, Windows XP Tablet OS with Touch Pack, 802.11b/g wireless and a couple of USB2.0 ports. Where it goes above and beyond the call of duty is in adding Bluetooth 2.0, a front mounted 1.3MP digital camera and built in GPS with retractable antennae. A tasteful bushed aluminium exterior also adds a little class. Curiously a 900MHz Celeron M ULV processor has been muted as the beating heart of the R2H but this would fall below Microsoft’s minimum of a 1GHz clock. We’re quizzing Asus about this right now so we should have a clarification soon…
