With more and more players jumping in to this space, here is MSI which announced that their model named “Wind” will be in the US this june.
Some of the highlights as sighted at Laptop Mag
- Come in two display-size variations: an 8.9-inch and a 10-inch. Only the 10-inch display will be available to the U.S. market.
- Be available starting June 3rd. The Linux version, running Novel’s SUSE, will have 512MB RAM and an 80GB hard drive. It will retail for $399. The Windows XP version will have 1GB RAM, an 80GB hard drive, and Bluetooth, retailing for $549. However according to MSI a base configuration of the Windows XP product will be available for under $500.
- Come in four different colors, including black, white, silver, and pink. Both sizes will be available in these colors.
- Get 6 hours of battery life with the standard six-cell battery. Tung attributes the power savings to the Intel Atom processor, since the system will not have a solid state drive.

When Nokia initially launched the Internet tablet, one of the main issues was the lack of keyboard (if only had a on-screen one). With N810 fans of Nokia have the sliding QWERTY built in to the product and a GPS receiver. The N810 will be powered by maemo Linux based OS2008, which just means it’s open for any one to write other apps…

- 512MB RAM
- 30GB hard drive

- Standard battery (20Whr, 2-2.5hours)
- Extended battery (40whr, up to 5 hours)
- Camera, 1.3mp
- Wifi, Wibro and HSDPA
- SIM card slot.
- 15 pin accessory port (unclear. Could be for headset, dongles)

This is no New device, we’ve seen them before but as “Aigo UMPC”. The product was first showcased at the Intel Developer Conference. More and more products seem to be coming up, though it was Microsoft what initiated the Viral Campaign, Linux seems to be favoring this form factor. Engadget has got hold of the Patriot UMPC loaded with Windows Vista.
…Recently we’ve seen this same design on the Amtek U560, but this version bears the Aigo badge proudly. Of course, since this (the company’s first foray into the UMPC market) is based on the 2007 archetype, the Patriot has some of those bulky, Hummer-esque design qualities that don’t hold up to the newer, sleeker, and smaller Menlow-based models (which Intel is heading towards for 2008), but under that jumbo exterior there’s an 800MHz, Vista-ready heart of gold. Honestly, we do question the choice of putting function buttons smack-dab in the center of QWERTY keyboard, but hey — no one is perfect — judge for yourself in Engadget China’s hands on gallery…

While the iPhone is taking the center stage in all those hypes, here comes HTC to steal a bit (if not a lot). There seems to be an internal document (might be a leak) that has more information on the device and more specifications according to UMPC Portal, which might just be the case.
- OS: Microsoft Windows Vista & WM6 Professional
- 7 inch, 800 x 480 TFT LCD, touch screen
- Memory: ROM 128 MB/ RAM 64 MB+1 GB/ 30/40 GB HDD
- CPU: Intel Dothan, 800 MHz
- Wireless WAN
- Qualcomm MSM7200, 400 MHz
- WCDMA 2100 or 850/1900 MHz
- EDGE/ GSM/GPRS
- Bluetooth
- Wireless LAN 802.11 b/g
- Camera: VGA for video telephony
- GPS
- Fingerprint recognition
- Battery: 2800 mAh
- Dual speaker/ 3.5″ phone jack/ D-sub VGA port/ USB 2.0 Host
- Expansion: MiniSD
- Semi-automatic sliding AnyViewTM QWERTY keyboard
From the above mentioned specifications the device seems to be have some advantages over the other devices and falls short in a few.
