Oh well, When Microsoft first announced that it would be in $500 to $900, every one was excited (because it would start at $500) and UMPC site has posted the prices on the Founder Mini-Note (Spec comparison here) and it’s nowhere near what we wanted it to be. Click here to view the prices on Founder’s site
Founder Mininote UMPCs will come in two colors - red and black and will cost:
- Entry: Founder Mininote VUM400-410 UMPC with Celeron M ULV processor, 256MB of RAM and 30GB HDD - 7999 Yuan ($997)
- Mid: Founder Mininote UMPC with Intel Pentium M ULV processor, 256MB RAM and 30 GB HDD - 11999 Yuan ($1495)
- High: Founder Mininote UMPC with Intel Pentium M ULV processor, 512MB RAM and 60 GB HDD - 12888 Yuan ($1606)
Unfortunately, these UMPCs will be sold only in Asia.
Oh it’s fortunate that Founder decided (if they did) to market this only in Asia, if they were to push it to the other markets, I doubt if they make it under such price tag, it has to come down. When we had a poll about the fair price of the UMPC more than 90% voted it should fall in the $500 to $700 category (not because Microsoft said it, but that’s the FAIR price). We only wish DELL would come in. What do you guys think?

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
