Steve has found more details of the US700 series. Well I was wondering why the product is named US* and I hope we have the answer.
(US700 series compared with Asus R2H - it is slim!)
From the details, looks like this is designed and manufactured by a team named KIDC The name US700 series is probably because they are calling their UMPC as USPC — so what does that mean? Ultra Slim PC.
So anyone know about the KIDC? (Not sure if it’s the “Korea Internet Data Center“) The Korean site has the LG logo on the very top and not sure if it’s a part of LG. (If you are from Korea can you please let us know).

Here are some of the second generation of UMPCs. According to engadget — the Yahoo Go seems to be well designed done right, but there are many more that’s in the list.
The verdict? Vista on these new UMPCs coupled with the new Origami Experience UI is a big step in the right direction. The “Yahoo UMPC” reference design we saw at Intel’s IDF felt very solid in the hand, and features a well positioned thumbpad we found easy to use while holding the device two handed — a design which might have a chance of success if picked up by an OEM. Intel also has a few new reference designs under glass: a chubby, slim-screened slider and another perched in a fat brown media dock with integrated DVD and AV outs.

A lot of those speculation of Apple’s tablet was put to death when they announced the iPhone today with Multi-touch. But interestingly a company named Axiotron is taking pre-orders for the Apple Tablet PC. Yes you read it right Apple tablets, this time called a ModBook.
They have the same specifications of the MacBook but with a touch screen.
