oh, and also it would be great to _see_ exactly how the extended battery looks in the device.

I’m really looking forward to this review too! Particularly how it performs with 3D (Jenn’s was lacking info. on that) and all important battery-life.

Hi chippy, does the unit come with XP drivers?

Import tax into EU for any computer product is simply (local sales tax + handling)
For Germany, 19% + about 20 Euros.

You can change languages in Ultimate, yes. Also, you get downgrade to XP rights

Hurrah!

I am really looking forward to your tests - especially any real-world performance tests (ie. AV loaded, concurrent apps running, Firefox, Youtube, Word/Powerpoint, etc.).

Could this at last be the UMPC that I really need? It’s certainly looking good based on the Pocketables review, but it’ll be great to read your impressions too.

BTW- with Windows Ultimate, is it possible to switch from an English GUI to a Japanese GUI? Ideally, I’d like to be able to switch easily…

Also, could you give us an idea of the import tax into Germany? I am in the UK, but I guess that the tax will be similar…

Cheers,

Mark

Am excited to hear your impressions - I took the plunge and ordered one last week. I hope they are favorable!
