As spotted by  Maxin in the Origamiproject.com forums, there is a new Flipstart teaser site live at Flipstartpc.com

Flipstart is a company that has been talking about UMPC’s for a long time. In fact most people have/had written the device off as vaporware. I even categorised it as an almost UMPC myself!

The really interesting thing is that Vulcan (the parent company) are sitting down at a meeting about NOW (3pm CES local time)to discuss the small screen form factor. Details here.

The panel includes Averatec so maybe we’ll hear something new very shortly.
