When UMPC was launched there were only 3 of them Samsung Q1, Asus R2h and the Founfer Mini-note (Compared here) Let’s see, How many do we have today.
- Samsung Q1
- TabletKiosk eo 7100 series
- TabletKiosk eo 7200 series
- PBJ SmartCaddie
- Pioneer Dreambook PC700
- Asus R2H
- ECS H70
- Founder Mininote
- Daewoo Lucoms M1 Solo
Looks like there are quite a lot of these UMPCs to choose from, but the Tabletkiosk eo 7100 series, SmartCaddie and the Dreambook are the same. The ECS H70, Founder Mininote, Daewoo Lucoms and the Tabletkiosk eo 7200 series are the same. Taking these in to consideration all we have are 4 models including the Samsung Q1 and the Asus R2H.

We’ve heard about this. The initial models like 830g UMPC is powered by an Intel Celeron 900 Mhz CPU, running on MS Windows XP Tablet Edition and ships with 512MB of DDR2 400 memory (max 1GB) and a built-in 30GB hard drive. Dimensions will be 25.5mm(W)x 114mm(D) x 25mm(H).
This unit should be the same as the founder mininote(both the case and the spec), personally I like the dock on this, really cool.
The Solo M1 features a variety of multimedia features, including video and music playback via Windows Media player, a DMB tuner, a 1.3 MP webcam for video conferencing and a 4-in-1 (MMC/ SDIO/ MS/ MS Pro) memory card reader.

You know when there are only few (rather only 2 as of now) choices to choose from, things are always difficult, especially if you want the best one out there and you know if you wait for a few more months you’ll have more powerful devices. Again Asus might have very close spec to the ECS with the Core Duo
Yes, ECS announced their H-70, and looks like it would have the option of upgrading your UMPC to have the ULV 1.0 GHz Pentium M. Note that with the 6-Cell battery, the company is promising a 4.5 Hours of life
The H70 uses Intel’s 915GMS chipset backed up with either an ULV voltage 900MHz Celeron or an ULV 1.0GHz Pentium M processor and features a 7″ WVXGA (800×480) touch sensitive TFT LCD. The H70 also packs two USB 2.0 ports, 802.11b/g wireless connectivity, Bluetooth 1.2, a 4-in-1 flash media reader and a 1.3MP webcam.
ECS representatives are claiming the H70 will put out about 2 hours and 10 minutes of operation with the included 3-cell battery but the company is planning to offer a 6-cell battery which should double battery life. The H70 weighs in at just a little under 2lbs and, price-wise, will weigh down pockets with under $1000 of change which is much more acceptable than what we have been seeing in the ultra-mobile PC market [...]
