TabletKiosk eo UMPC delayed until June-ish

by Thomas Ricker, posted May 1st 2006 at 8:51AM

If you were one of those early-adopter types who pre-ordered your TabletKiosk eo V7110 UMPC, then you've probably already received the bad news. After selling-out their "entire initial production" stock (is that 10 or 10,000 units?), TabletKiosk is officially delaying what would have been the first UMPC to market with "most orders fulfilled by the beginning of June." It seems those first eos suffered a problem whereby the system fan was striking the unit's back panel which now must undergo a "slight redesign." We can only assume this affects shipments of the SmartCaddie in Japan and the It's UMPC version we've seen floating about France as well. Alas they won't be the first, but at least TabletKiosk will have the distinction of being the cheapest UMPC on the market come June.

I recieved word that if you ordered the white version which I did, that you will still get your order item and they shipped last week. Apparently the white ones did not suffer this same design flaw. Waiting impatiently to see if I get mine today.

The new trends in technology for 2006 is late shipments without a certain date of arrival and ugly desings using matte black and ultra cheap look.
