Uber-PMPs moving towards UMPC space.

Posted on 31 October 2006, Last updated on 08 January 2015 by

Dapreview has news about the Maxian PMP. Its got the same form factor as the Raon Digital Vega.

However, I think its more of an advanced PMP like the I-Station Netforce. Its probably not an x86 (PC) device.  It runs Windows CE and has Wifi, DMB and an SD slot. Strangely enough it has no hard disk. Maybe they are expecting 16GB SD cards to come down in price a lot. Its only available in Korea so its a possibility.

Again, we’re seeing devices being drawn up the chain towards ultra mobile PC territory. Be it smartphones or PMP’s, the 800×480 4.3″ screen is becoming in interesting focal point as it enables the browser experience. Once you’ve got a rich browser built in you’ve got access to the best killer app there is. The Internet.

I have a feeling that Carrypad might be covering advanced PMPs in 2007!
