Keep it designed around a jacket pocket and they will have a hit!

I totally agree. VX700 won't give DirectX9 either so I don't think its VIsta certified.<br/><br/>Regards<br/><br/>Steve.

Apart from the gaming requirement (which you won’t fulfil with a VIA chip/set.) I totally agree. VX700 won’t give DirectX9 either so I don’t think its VIsta certified.

As(hopefully) a future customer I am happy with this decision. Here is what I hope your new computer includes: <br/>1. 5" screen still but 16million Colors, roughly 6.5"x3.5"x1" footprint<br/>2. Keyboard that slides out underneath the FULL length of the unit to maximize keysize and use. This seems to be a common missing component and a concern among consumers in umpc forums.<br/>3. Wifi and Bluetooth internal.<br/>4. Small "mouse knob" like the Eo models have. Orange knob in color photos of the eo v7110.<br/>5. at least 1 Gig Ram so Vista capable.<br/>6. Similar button layout of the Averatec AHI. The casual untapped gamer market will look eagerly at your mobile device. Gamers buy impulsively if they can get a system that will play XP based console emulators. A sure hit if so alled "gaming ready".<br/>7. 2xUSB2.0, 1xVGA-out, perhaps 1xTV-out, Stereo(not Mono)Speakers, mic, headphone<br/>8. Ethernet port. This was mentioned in several of the umpc forums as a necessity since not everyone has a wireless option at home or the office. The newer Samsung Q1b will lose some business because of this simple ommision.<br/>9. VIA VX700 chip as opposed to the consumer disliked Celeron M ULV. Longer battery life and smaller form factor.<br/>10. $999 to $1200 depending on other options like more Ram, GPS, etc...<br/>Please excuse my arrogance with my suggestions. I believe these are necessary specs and will insure a popular product and a guaranteed profitable future for DualCor. Thanks.
