I posted this on Origamiportal.com recently but it’s worth highlighting it again today. I think we’ll see it in a few hours. The source was not a TabeltKiosk source so it not 100% confirmed.
TabletKiosk will be announcing a new UMPC at CES. Our source tells us that its probably going to be a re-badged Mo-Bits VX3 UMPC. This is the Ruggedised UMPC that leaked out via a Carrypad report back in August.

Akori are already distributing it in Europe (PDF available here. News tip via UltraMobilePC-Tips.) and they show a number of build options including flash drives and 2 and 4-cell battery options. Its based on a VIA C7 and VX700 chip combo and provides dust and splash resistance. (more specs, CAD images here.) Obviously this is not one for the high street so expect a ruggedised price (Akori themselves have talked about 1400 Euros for this product.) but it should fit well in the TK portfolio and be an attractive option for their vertical market customers.
