Akihabaranews are reporting this morning that ‘Suze’ (whoever she is) has a Vega UMPC and has done a review. Its available in Korean and helpfully (not!) all placed as jpg files. No chance to do much Google translation then! I assume that Akihabaranews will have a translated version of this soon but I’ll see if I cant de-cipher some of the review comments and get some info.
On the way through the reviews and links, I found that the Raon Digital Korean language website has been updated with pricing and some availability news.
The unit is only available in Korea at the moment but they are looking at international reseller partnerships. There’s a hint that these could start by the end of the year.
As for pricing, there’s a huge flyer up on the Korean version of the website with prices.(click to enlarge.)
The 256MB version looks like it will be 550 Euro ($710)
The 512MB versions looks like it will be 590 Euro ($750)
The pricing is as predicted (although, looking at the flyer, this could be a limited-time offer.) You’ll probably also need to add $100 for reseller costs and margin it ever arrives in other parts of the world.
