Digitimes are now calling the HP UMPC the Mini-NB, not the 2133 as was previously reported. They’ve reported that the initial production order is for 2 millions devices and that it will launch in April for a price of between $480 and $800 which indicates at least three, maybe four build variants, all, apparently, with hard disk. I’ve been trying to get more information out of my contacts again but so far I’m drawing a blank. Half of me is expecting HP to drop the bomb this week in the build-up to CeBIT but the PR game is a complex one – anything could happen!

Edit: Engadget picked up on it too. “but at a rumored $630, HP’s going to have to put some serious sales muscle behind this guy to move that many” The price is not official at the moment though.
