[update: Before you contact me Tegatech (Hugo), I know! I’ve just seen the TabletKiosk 7200 series on your website. You deserve a link for my oversight and another link for offering the base model for AUS$1899. Hugo one of the principles of Techagate who runs a good blog also deserves a link. I promise I’ll pay more attention to the Oz market in the future.]
Pioneer Computers in Australia are now offering the DreamBook ultra mobile PC H700 in their ultra mobile PC portfolio alongside the DreamBook ultra mobile PC 700.
If you think it looks familiar then you’re right. Its based on the Founder mininote which is appearing in U.S. and Europe as the TabletKiosk i7200 series.
Its available in with a choice of processors; The Celeron version and the Pentium-M version and has the big advantage of a docking station included into the package. Other features included a 1.3mp cam, SD/MMC slot, TV-out and the usual Wifi/BT connectivity.
The device should be available now starting at AU$1999 including tax.
I’ve ordered the Pentium-M version of this (Tablet Kiosk branded) so watch out for some reviews soon. In the meantime, pop over to the Pioneer website or to our product database for in for info on both versions.

Yes, I demand you keep an eye on the Australian market. Going nuts trying to find out when stuff is going to get here. :(
Hi Chippy,
Thanks for link – It turns out Pioneer has upset a few customers lately due to conflicting information. I think the UMPC market is volatile and will develop rapidly.
I think Hugo’s company is called Tegatech rather than Techagate.
Damn. The Aussies will never talk to me again! Thanks for spotting the error ‘anon’
Steve.
