MPCTimes has got hold of an R2E, the new, MCCaslin-based ultra mobile PC in the R2H body. Images show the HSDPA module (no voice, 3.6mbps down, 384 up) and a different color casing. Then, further into the article………nothing more! Er! They had an R2E and only managed to report on two aspects of it? Come on guys. We need battery life figures (with that extended battery I’m guessing that there isn’t a great improvement.)
If the battery life is improved to near 3 hours (standard battery) and they’ve retained the heavy touch screen (I hope they’ve improved it to LED backlighting) then it will make a good ‘inking’ UMPC. With the extended battery it could be on the heavy side though.
