UMPCs. Spotted a new one. Look carefully.

At Via’s booth at ShowStoppers, there were about seven different UMPCs

Lets count. Easybook P7 (Amtek), P8, VX-3 (Mobits), X-15 (Mobits), X17 (Mobits), Q1b, OQO, Medion, Dualcor, Uren. There’s quite a lot of VIA solutions. Why didn’t anyone spot them and report on them?  I’m sure if the DualCor had been there someone would have reported it.

Take a look at this:

Its a selection of cuts from Engadget’s Medion video. Bjorn Bjorn Bjorn. What’s going on there? (It was Bjorn from UltraMobilelife in the video)

It doesn’t look like anything I know about and yet somehow it looks strangely familiar. Amtek T700 / Eo v7110-like. Its even got the little orange mouse pointer. So its a VIA C7-M based device with a cam. Looks like 7″ and it’s possibly from Amtek. T800?

Can someone spill the beans?

If you’re not convinced, check this video out. It appears at +15seconds.

Steve + a little birdie.

    That’s the AMtek T700 behind me in the video, I’ll post some info on my site next week about it. We had a great show at CES.
