A great year ahead

newyear.jpgWe wish you all a great year ahead. Last year was a great year for us, with Origami campaign that kicked off early last year to the launch of the UMPCs in March and tones of updates of them all along.

This year is going to be even more interesting that would sport a whole lot of new UMPCs that are next generation. Our site has grown, keeping all the news and updates focused on only UMPC. Thanks to each and every one of you. Not to mention you are the person of the year (2006) as Times calls it - “you” (bloggers and you who commented). Onlyumpc.com had about half a million page views. Well it’s nothing compared to other great sites out there, but still we want to thank you for what we are today.

There is going to be lots and lots of news and updates on UMPCs this month with the CES just close. Tune in. Again we wish you a happy and a prosperous year ahead.

Exclusive: Asus R2H Unpacking

First Impression: Awesome.

So far so good, I bought the Samsung Q1 and returned the device within a couple of days, but this one is for me. I love the device so far (well its been only 6 hours since I started using it). The unit feels a bit heavy for the size and may be it’s just the first impression but believe me its really sturdy and has a great feel with the brushed metal finish.

I’m still getting used to the device. I was really surprised and happy to see that Asus has bundled the extended battery with it (not sure if it will be the default for all US models though). They also throw a case, mini mouse (still handles very well) and screen cleaning cloth. Make sure to come back for more detailed review.

Here are some of the pictures of the unboxing of the Asus R2H UMPC

iStation S43 - Looks like another Vega

It’s time to learn Korean, There are these cool gadgets that are available (only for the Asian market though) and if you try to find more information, you’ll end up in all Korean sites. We found this device in the wild yes, it’s called the iStation S43 from a company called “Digital Cube“. We heard about some of their devices like the i series, but this is new. Though this might not be considered as a UMPC but it does have a lot of features of an UMPC.

Do you know the size of a UMPC?

Sure, If you are reading this - chances are you already know what an UMPC is? or a lot more than the rest of the crowd. But millions out there have no clue about the UMPCs are what the dimensions are. We came across this MP3 player named “miniplayer”, we were wondering why would they compare that to the Samsung Q1?

Looks like they wanted to show that the miniplayer is really a mini and they have the image posted below. Funny they should have done this with an iPod or may be a Zune or a Creative? Why an UMPC?
