Now these are news from sources other than Asus, so we are not 100% sure on the exact details. Steve over at carrypad found a news that says the price in UK would be £799. John from Ultranauts says “the R2H has entered manufacturing and packaging and will ’ship’ in November“
This sounds kinda cool. With the price tag of £799 and shipping in November Asus should be able to catch up with the other UMPCs. As we all know, UMPCs are not availalbe in places you want it to be. Hopefully Asus will announce better availability.

According to an article on CNN, the domain name UMPC.cn along with UMPC.com.cn fetched a whopping US $49,000.00 Not bad for a domain name (wait that a lot for a domain name) So is the UMPC fire catching on? Well if not in the US the Chinese seem to think it has all it needs to become a success story.
They also have this “apple table” - well we’ve had enough rumors about it and We’ll leave the rest to you.

Remember the speculated AMD powered UMPC for under $700, Yes details emerge that this is windows XP powered toy with 4.3″ Screen with 30GB/256 MB and WiFI capable with built in support for GPS. Cool all this for less than $700. In any case we’ll know more details about the product in a weeks time.

As for the posting at UltraMobilePCs.com, they are hinting that there’s going to be a new umpc announced soon, and more information is to follow.
Does anyone have a clue of this device. We’d like to say that the design is very similar (if not the same) as the founder mininote.

Remember the speculation about the UMPCs with AMD, MobilityToday reports about an anonymous photo(shown here) which is running AMD. The image says Windows xp and no Tablet PC! What could be it? The much awaited Haiku, Argo/Zune or an UMPC?
We received this picture from an anonymous member from Korea. The only information we received was that it is running an AMD GeodeTM LX800 with 256MB RAM. You tell us what do you think this could be?
UPDATE: Beta News reports that the much rumored Music Player / iPod Killer from Microsoft will be launched as early as next month, and the image here shows the date of August 10, 2006 - So is it the one they are talking about? Well nothing is confirmed yet - Read the news here
