It looks like versions of the Arima ULV650 (OEM) are filtering through to markets now (wow, that took some time) and the pricing has changed somewhat since I was first introduced to the idea of paying 1000 Euro for it. (Medion appear to have given up with their RIM 1000 version)
The AHTEC Tiny is selling for 699 Euro which, I have to say, isn’t that bad although when you’ve added sales tax, it brings it up to 800 Euro which takes some of the shine off. If it’s the same device as I’ve tested, the keyboard and built quality isn’t top notch but you’re getting a 4-hour 1.2Ghz (up from the original 1Ghz) VIA-C7-based ultra mobile PC with what looks like GPS and TV modules included. It has only got 768MB of RAM so I expect its running Windows XP as opposed to Vista which is a bonus in my book. The device isn’t available at present but they say (in translation) that it’s expected soon.
Another version of this device, the Gigabyte U60, is marked up as being available on the 11th November at Expansys. This one is only showing as a 1Ghz version and the price is somewhat higher but they do appear to have a range of accessories including an 84 Euro docking station. I’m wondering what Arima have been doing all this time as I tested a production sample of the Medion version back in May and according to a previous news item, the Gigabyte U62 should be shipping by now.
I’ll see what I can find out.
