That seems crazy. I'd also much prefer to have a mouse button to use with fly-out menus. I’m with Vit: I can understand ditching the keyboard, but no facing camera? That seems crazy.

But if GPS is the only add-on, 775 dollars is way too high. 4000mAh for 4.5 hours use is not that bad. But if GPS is the only add-on, 775 dollars is way too high.

I use a Gigabyte m704 umpc on a daily basis and find that i never use the keyboard. With Windows 7 the inking and on screen keyboard is more than enough. If the keyboard was removed it would take the weight on the m704 down by about 200g. I feel that umpc's dont really need hardware keyboards these days. But its all down to personal choice i guess.

Everything else about it sucks compared to the Q1 Ultra. The only good thing about this model is the price. Everything else about it sucks compared to the Q1 Ultra.

No buttons, no keyboards. When will UMPC manufacturers learn we need lots of input methods? What on earth is the point of this thing? No buttons, no keyboards.

Over at engadget they are repoting a price of $775. Too much for me. Especially for a device without keyboard. The most interesting part about this device is the Nano-CPU.
