If there is any news or update on the UMPC from Australia, you know it — it was not from Microsoft or Intel or Via but from Hugo Ortega. Hugo has posted 3 part video explaining why he moved from his tablet to the Samsung Q1 as this main computing device.
The following is a succinct three-part video documenting my thoughts and feelings towards Ultra-Mobile PC today and why I was able to replace my desktop, and therefore increase my productivity! So grab some popcorn and sit back and watch another episode of the UberTablet blog; or is that vlog?

in General.
It’s surprising that Averatec has not yet announced the AHI yet, This would compete well with the Sony UX series (form factor, if not for the config) and the Medion RIM 1000 for the built in keyboard.
We were hoping to see this as one of the announcements at CES today, May be sooner, after all that’s the reason that CES runs for days together. We’re waiting, still waiting and waiting….

- Someone has done cool plugin to IE that would convert the youtube or Google videos in to Windows based formats to be played on a Zune. Now that does not limit us from using it on a UMPC, well though the UMPC has a full featured OS and a browser, you might not be online all the time, say when you are travelling. Download ZuneIEplugin [via jkOnTheRun]
- Speaking of being connected while travelling, a company named Autonet Mobile has something cool, yes a mobile broadband connection in your car. Check it out
