It may look a lot like a UMPC, what with its tablet-style form factor and seven-inch LCD touch screen and all that, but the new UREN V1 is what they're calling a "Mobile Auto PC". So what's the difference? Mainly that it comes with integrated GPS and is supposed to be mounted on the dashboard of your car (though when you think about it, all UMPCs should probably have GPS, it'd make them much more useful). The UREN V1, which runs Windows XP, also sports a 30GB hard drive, a DMB TV tuner, a memory card slot, and a three megapixel digital camera on back for, uh, taking pictures of the road while you're driving. This one looks like it's currently for the Korean market only.
UREN. Perhaps it loses something in the translation. Does it come in yellow?
You mean the Korean market....cause the GPS screen is in Korean.
ah yes dash mount and tv reception abilities...
I smell head-on collision!
'UREN' - what a G-D awful product name.. Their tag line should be, 'UREN; The name's awful yet the product's a pisser'
Us Pats fans would be fine buying such a wicked pissah product.
So Koreans are watching TV in their cars while they drive?!? No wonder they're such bad drivers! Bwahahahahahhaa!!
Just KIDDING!
i would much rather look at GPS on this 7" screen while driving than a 3" tomtom/gremlin/tamtam thingy...
"You mean the Korean market....cause the GPS screen is in Korean."
Yes. And that's obviously a Korean hand.
it just so happens that the same group of people who need a tv in their car.. also need a remote when they're sitting a foot away from the thing.
go figure.
haha.
damn, aeo beat me to the bad driver joke.
lucky koreans, they get all the good stuff. For cheaper too.
The product name is clearly Korea's answer to Japanese Wii
Just remember folks, if your UREN comes out black like that, see a doctor
Seems like a cool idea, is there any type of device similar on sale now or going to be on sale in the US.
its a good way to keep people from riding in yer car.
"whats that in there?- oh its UREN! - ewe, im not sitin there."
..or from snooping in your luggage.
"I keep my UREN in my suitcase."
Thats Number One. hahahaha....
Suppose you could call somone using this a UREN-ator? :P
Jokes aside, I think having a Windows PC in a moving car is just asking for a crash... lol
