There is a speculation that the santa will have the new MID from Nokia this year. This device will have a sliding keyboard and 4.2-inch display and may replace the current N810. No assumptions made on the size and battery life yet. But there is another interesting device called Nautilus (codename), which is said to have a ultra-thin touchscreen, a sensor to trigger the opening of a motorized ultra-thin keyboard with keys rising automatically for better feel! Sounds like a super cool device. Nautilus is expected to be in the market by mid 2010.

Well there seems to be two major rumors which hints on new UMPC players.
- Engadget shows us a new device might-be successor of the N800 with the full QWERTY keyboard, which potentially could be an UMPC or a MID. The details are really slim but the images says more.
- On the other hand there are hints that DELL (finally) might enter the UMPC market — now take this with a grain of salt, because its not confirmed but looks like a possibility. — Details here
- Looks like HTC is getting its next concept ready, though the Shift is not yet out, they are working on the next generation named the “omni” which looks more slim and might compete with the MID markets

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).

Looks like HTC would prefer to partner with OEMs to get their products out there, as it has always done. DigiTimes reports that
The stock price of VIA rose nearly 7% to close at NT$27.15 on December 19 due to rumors that the company will partner with High Tech Computer (HTC) on development of a new UMPC. The price reached a three month peak.
If this happens we’d have the best of breed UMPC. DigiTimes also confirmed that Asus is working on its 2nd release of UMPCs which this time will be powered by VIA. The company has already showcased them. It is also predicted that UMPC market will hit a whopping 130 million units during 2007.
