yeah, that´s what I want. All-in-one.
Let´s wait what chippy says to the battery.

And, hey chippy, what´s the price of it?

That battery placement doesn’t look good for an extended battery. I was a bit annoyed that I’d just bought my SC3 but this doesn’t seem to have anything more that I want (especially as I have the double capacity battery fitted). I also like the portfolio.

As you’ve used the SC3 with XP and Windows 7, can you tell if there was any difference in the speed? I’ve only used Windows 7 on mine and it seems a bit slow sometimes.

I also gave up on the T91 and bought an MSI Wind U100 Plus. I’ve had it for about a month now and after the original funky HDD was replaced, it’s been great. No regrets.

I like the folio idea. I guess you could replace the default pages with some of the Pulse Livescribe pen special paper for notes, and audio recording with the pen; that would make a good combo.

I don’t even have a flash banner ad player installed. Rarely I use downloadhelper to convert this flv crap to mp4 for vlc or mplayer (e.g. Pandora handheld developer blog). I really wonder why “open” people trap their videos into the flv container. Hope this few videos I’m interested in will use the firefox 3.5 embedded video player - guess that won’t be on youtube. An UMPC would be more interesting as a prize than a huge netbook.

Hi,

I just want to learn whether an alarm in outlook or similar program can wake up this umpc from sleep? I want to use this device as an PIM. Thanks

In earlier video it clearly does have a multitouch. Search youtube.com for it

Comment on Kohjinsha SK3. Netbook or UMPC? by UMPCwatch

Will it be coming with the multitouch option?

Interestingly, it’s not clear will the device support multitouch mode … unless I somehow missed this

U can’t pay such close attantion to all marketing mumbo-jumbo. Apple claims its cut and paste on iPhone 3G S is incredible inovation. So far onl Engadget to notice it. As far as UI for Archos, looks like it will be standard Win7 UI.

Comment on Attempt to keep your head straight with the Asus Eee PC comparison chart by tmarks11

I came within a whisker of buying an eePC, after I saw an Acer at Walmart and realized how compact the package really was.

But after 30 minutes of trying to figure out which eePC was the best, I got a headache, and quit looking.

And then I heard that Ion laptops were going to come out soon, so I figured I could wait a bit longer.

And now I hear that Ion2 will be out in January of 2010….

i think, Ben’s point is that there is no innvoation in this, since this is what a UMPC has mainly been about, or any slate tablet pc as well.

the innovation would be to make such a device so, that a majority of users would agree after a brief training period, that it is as good or better than having a physical keyboard.

as far as the archos claim is concerned: it is not half as appealing as they think, because the people such a phrase is aiming at (the regular netbook user who may not be so aware of umpc and tablets) are not exactly the ones who would immediately agree with such a statement, since they do not see any need what so ever to get rid of a keyboard….

anyway: lets see what interface archos comes up with…

Actualy, I don’t use a keyboard on my Gigabyte 912. It is in a tablet mode, always. I really looking forward to owning Archos 9. Is there any indication when is the release date? Not just “later this year”?
