Jumping on the jolly 3G Bandwagon (the more the merrier) along with ECS and Asus are Acer. A positive review at Chip.de mentions the following.
Im dritten Quartal folgen weitere Modelle mit UMTS/3G-Modul und den Farben Pink und Braun.
My translation: In the third quarter follow further models with UMTS/3G and Pink and Brown colours.
This is excellent news because, apart from a lack of Bluetooth and touchscreen, the device is shaping up nicely as an Ultra Mobile solution. With the 6-cell battery you’ll reach 6 hours battery life (possibly more when Linpus switch over to the Moblin core) in a smaller package and 30% lighter weight than the MSI Wind with 6-cells. Chip.de are reporting a bright screen and quiet fan too. If the 3G version comes with 8Gb of fast flash then it’s even better!

Any word on pricing?
Still looking for a good 3G affordable ultra mobile solution.

This is one sweet machine. Due to its wider screen it offers descent keyboard while still being very compact. They can even add one more inch to that screen without changing the dimensions!
