We held-off posting about this yesterday because, to be honest, the news about the ASUS R2H didn’t really seem to offer anyone any more than they already knew.
The R2H was announced on the ASUS global news sites so we can at least be sure that they’re still working on it but there’s no press release, no pricing and no dates yet. Other country-specific ASUS websites aren’t even showing the news so expect local press releases as it goes up on the local websites.
The only thing you can glean from the information is that the R2H will probably be offered in different configurations with the baseline model having 256MB RAM and a 20GB disk. Enough for web-based browsing and applications but certainly not Vista capable. In fact, the low-end model could be there just as a low-price entry point intended to steal the limelight from other Origami UMPCs.
The previously announced fingerprint sensor, single sign-on software, GPS module and other specs remain the same apart from the weight which seems to have gone up rather alarmingly to 830kg!!!
