Australia v Germany in the Great 2006 UMPC unboxing race.

Posted on 06 September 2006 by Chippy

This is fun!

Hugo just posted that he’s got a world-first on an unnamed ‘Mobile PC’. I too have the device on its way (I’m not telling you what it is either!) but had expected it no sooner than next week.

However, I’ve just seen through DHL that its in Germany already and awaiting customs clearance. If that happens this evening it could be with me tomorrow.

Meanwhile Hugo, has left his device behind, unboxed, while he goes on a 48hr trip.

The unboxing will be mine. Oh yes it will.

The only problem is, I have a two hour window tomorrow where I’m at home and then I too have to go on a trip and won’t be back until Monday leaving Hugo to run the smuggest-ever unboxing ceremony. The chances of me getting the device are a million to one.

Could German efficiency make Hugo’s blog entry one for the history books? Or could he take the trophy?

Like I said. This is fun and a bit of UMPC banter never hurt anyone! Good luck Hugo.

Steve / Chippy.

    It looks like it’s over to Australia for the finishing line.
    2.5 hours to go here and its still in customs. Not much chance of getting it today.

    S.

    P.S. It’s not the Asus.

    So stop on over to the information “Kiosk” while driving your “7200″ series Beemer?

    Hey guys, don’t give up on the yanks just yet! Guess what, I am expecting a little package of my own this afternoon, and I have every intention of madly ripping it open with video cam in hand!

    My ‘device’ is officialy delayed at customes according to DHL. There won’t be any unboxing for me this week!

    Good news Dennis. Looking forward to that. The next 7 days could see an unboxing bonanza for mobile devices!

    Steve.

    P.S. The device wasn’t the Tablet Kiosk 7210. Have a look at the Origamiportal forums for the clues!

    Cant wait for the unboxing. Its going to be great. You must have better connections than me. All i got in the mail today was a Meizu M6, Pdair U70p case, two earbuddy cases. I at least beat you in quantity. I currently have Sony U70p but i have been eyeing a particular new portable pc. Hopefully its the one your going to unbox.
