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.

That thing is huge.
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.
