Amd finds its way into a second UMPC?

Ctitanic has just posted some 'tips' that are related to a teaser campaign that is running at the moment.

The teaser ad (shown here at the Raon Digital website) hints at a new Pocket PC 'Vega.' OK. Nothing too exciting there. However, Ctitanic's tips show a UMPC-like specification.
  • AMD Geode LX800
  • DDR SDRAM 256MB
  • 30GB HDD
  • 4.3inch LCD
  • Windows XP home
  • 350g
The specs come from a Korean website. (babel translation link.)

Windows XP on an AMD LX800 is possible but it will be like running it on a PIII 500Mhz. The Pepperpad 3 uses the same chip but has a tailored version of Linux running as the operating system. No one has had a chance to test this out yet so the LX800 remains an unknown quantity.

Its due to be released on 10th August. Next Thursday. All very interesting.

Thanks Ctitanic at ultramobilepc-tips

And there's more new ultra mobile news to come......stay tuned for the next post.
