Navigadget reports that the Medion ultra mobile PC has got through FCC approval.
FCC approval brings it one step closer to reality and also brings us a copy of the OEM user manual (PDF.)
(Optional) docking station rear and secret stylus compartment.
Don’t expect the Medion ultra mobile PC too soon though because delivery times in its home country, Germany, are still around the 4 weeks mark. Having made some enquiries about the status of VIA’s Vista drivers, I’m pretty sure that this is what is holding up OQO’s Model 02 and Amtek’s T770 too. If I was a product manager for a VIA-based Vista UMPC, I’d be feeling a little uneasy during this week of Intel UMPC/MID news dominance. If I was a customer I’d probably be even more annoyed at the delays.
One correction on the Navigadget article. I believe the GPS module is actually a USB module that snaps on in place of the stand, just as the DVB-T module is.
