TabletKiosk announces eo i7209 and i7210 UMPCs

Looks like the eo V7110 isn't the only UMPC TabletKiosk has in its vault; their new eo i7209 and i7210 are rebadges of the Founder device with marginally better specs than the v7110 before them, but also heftier prices to boot. The i7210 features a 1GHz ULV Pentium M, 1GB DDR2 RAM, and a 60GB drive, while the i7209 features a piddling 900MHZ ULV Celeron M, 512MB DDR2 RAM, and 30GB drive; both feature Intel 915GMS embedded graphics, a 1.3 megapixel camera, 802.11b/g, Bluetooth 1.2, USB 2.0, a 4-in-1 card reader, and a 7-inch 800 x 480 touchscreen display in a 8.8 x 5.6 x 1-inch, 1.83 pound slate. Certainly a step up from the VIA C7-based eo offered at $900, but you'll also have to pay for those specs at either $1,100 or $1,400 when these two loosed at the end of August Weigh your options wisely, UMPC-goers, you know how we feel about prices this steep for devices of this ilk.

I just unboxed my v7110 six hours before this press release. Yes, I almost cried. Here are the pics of the unboxing:

Pc_Madness: Your GPS is Bluetooth and only $100 more anywhere. I got the i-blue and it's great. I velcro'd it to my rearview mirror.

robert: UMPCs aren't GSM because people already have phones and already have service contracts. To put a cellular radio in them would limit potential user base. Use your Bluetooth to get to your phone. That's what I do.

If they would have integrated a good working GPS and TV receiver I would gladly pay $1,400. Now I still have to think.
