[url=http://www.winfuture.de]Winfuture.de[/url] sent me a link to some [url=http://www.winfuture.de/news,25602.html]new images[/url] they got from WinHec this past week.

Microsoft had a lot of stuff to say about the new UMPC devices and how they feel the form factors will be changing in the next couple years. (As well as a bunch of Vista info.)

One of the more interesting pictures they showed was the Xbox controller looking device that supposedly is a gaming style UMPC. Though Microsoft pointed out that they would not be creating this device they were hoping the manufacturers would design UMPCs like that.

They also showed a media UMPC:

I started looking online for some other pictures and I found this picture on flickr.com from a user named [url=http://www.flickr.com/photos/ratsinis/152226794/]ratsini[/url] that showed what looks to be an AMD UMPC.
