Its another AMD LX800 powered device that I’ve just spotted on the Korean Tablet PC Club website. The Sesol HiPAD II is an updated version of the original HiPad that appeared last year.
It’s got a 10.4″ 800×600 screen (and a simulated 1024×768 mode), 20Gb HDD, upto 1Gb RAM, flash drive option, wifi, DMB, WiBro and UMTS (3G) options, CF, USB, VGA, PCMCIA and possibly a GPS option.
It will run CE, XP embedded or XP/XP Pro (no mention of tablet edition but it does have a touchscreen.) It has a launcher application and supports screen rotation.
Take a look at the pics here (Korean website) or on the company website (English) here.
No pricing info available at the moment.
The Carrypad data sheet for the Sesol Hipad is here.

Yeah ya beat Engadget, but, to me, they seemed to have nixed the UMPC anyways. Thats why I view your site everyday and not Engadget. Keep up the good work Chippy! //bob

Thanks for the feedback Bob. Its a shame that Endgadget, Gizmodo and the Inquirer seem to have dismissed the UMPC. Maybe we’ll have the last laugh though!
