Yesterday GottaBeMobile has something interesting for us, Now it Hugo’s turn and he says….
While you were sleeping, Australia was still awake. Knowing that I was nearing Toshiba Utopia (UMPC), infamous bloggers like James Kendrick and Rob Bushway did some investigating of their own. It was mostly Rob that could not let this little Aussie Blogger get away with the UMPC scoop of the blogging era. Even though JK thought I should “get a life,” I thought to myself “tonight’s not the night mate, tonights not the night!” LOL
Barely 48 hours had passed since I sniffed out a Toshiba UMPC and the blogosphere was ablaze. Most of our readers were not nearly as concerned with the significance of such news, but the inside crew made up of Warner Crocker, James Kendrick, the Uberly passionate Rob Bushway and I, were!
So what did I get up to today?
Today I rang Dan Warne, Journalist of APC Magazine Australia, and decided to get more info. Due to copyright protection neither Rob or I were granted permission to publish the article that sparked this riot. Here’s what I did found out:
[The following is a reenactment of the conversation – omissions are the small chit chat]
Hugo Ortega: “Hey Dan, tell me about Toshiba’s UMPC�
Dan Warne: “I know as much as you do.�
Hugo Ortega: “You conducted an interview with Toshiba Australia’s Product Marketing Manager, Matt Codrington, in regards to a new concept device. When was that interview conducted?�
Dan Warne: “Let me check my diary…on the 26th of January�
Hugo Ortega: “That explains all the veiled talk of Origami while other OEM’s are now touting UMPC. What made you write this up; did Matt submit a Press Release?�
Dan Warne: “No, I’ve known Matt for a while. We bumped into each other at the launch of Core Duo in Australia; over coffee we discussed several topics of which this one caught my attention! So I decided to run with it. I contacted him later in regards to the matter.�
Hugo Ortega: “Did you have a face-to-face?�
Dan Warne: “No, we conducted the interview over the phone.�
Hugo Ortega: “When I read the article I felt that it reeked of UMPC…you agree?�
Dan Warne: “Sure sounds like it to me! I’ve pointed Matt Codrington to your blog, let’s see what he has to say!�
