Hi Pad. Bump! And other news.

Pay attention everyone. We posted the HiPad news on Monday while Engadget were still in bed!

BUMP! The Data Sheet is also in the product portal now.

And did you miss the review notes for the Founder Mininote/Tabletkiosk i7210? Maybe it was so unexciting that it wasn’t worth talking about? OK I’ll give you that one!

But moving swiftly on to new news, Kevin Tofel and JKK are comparing the Q1 to the e0 v7110 using Battery Eater. Notes here. If I can keep my fingers off the 7210 for the duration of the test, I’ll be running the same test giving us a VIA C7-M, Celeron-M and Pentium-M comparison.

The Mobile Gadgeteer Matt Miller has reviewed the HTC TyTN (Vodafone VPA Compact III, T-Mobile MDA Vario II, Orange SPV 3100, I-Mate JasJam) which is, I have to admit, a nice phone. At 750,-Euro though its not cheap and I think that my Nokia 6280 3G candy-bar slider will make a better companion for a UMPC.

One point of note on the Samsung Q1b. Its going to be more expensive than the Q1 in the UK if the pricing mentioned in the PCW article is correct. That gives that game away a bit because on the surface, the devices aren’t much different. OK, there’s 60Gb and 1Gb of RAM on offer but I think they’ve got something else up their sleeve. Its either a 1.5Ghz processor or very good battery life. My money is on the latter. I think they will match or even beat my previous predictions written up in my April report “VIA C7-M CPU and Battery Life tests.“

Finally for today, I noticed that the ultra mobile PC has been mentioned in the MP3Car.com forums.

After researching carputers for months, I finally figure out ultra mobile PC will be my ultimate solution. It is easy to setup, less wiring and no power issues.

At the moment the Q1 is the only ultra mobile PC device to have a car mount available. Hopefully we’ll see more car mounting options soon because I want to try out that GPS software that was blogged today.
