Well Steve over at carrypad would start screaming if I were to say this is not an UMPC, and there has been enough number of people who have talked about this. Nevertheless this device is a nice alternative to the UMPC. Looks like this does not have touchscreen (no mentions of it anywhere).
The device would sport
- 500MHz AMD GEODE CS5536 CPU
- a 40GB hard disk
- 512MB of RAM
- 7” display with a resolution of 800×480
- a SD and CF slot
- Wi-Fi
- Bluetooth
- and its about 960g and measures 218×163x25.4mm
Though the processor seems a bit less when compared to other devices the price for sure is attractive at $750. There are other devices that we have profiled under “Alternative” category in the past and this would be one of them.
SA1F00A, we now have more information [akihabara news]
UMPC != Origami UMPC
Steve.
In your review of the Kohninsha SA1F00A, you fail to mention the important stuff such as: Who in the U.S. sells the Hohjinsha SA1F00A? What service and maintaninance is available in the U. S. If there is none, it doesn’t matter how nice the device is, it isn’t going to sell to well. I found out so far that Conics.net will take orders and ship from Japan but if it is D.O.A, you have to send it back to Japan. That is not good enough for me!
laster umpc good !!!!!!!!!!
