HTC preparing to launch "Mobile Office Device" UMPC in 2Q 2007?

by Conrad Quilty-Harper, posted Jan 27th 2007 at 1:30PM

Quoting unnamed sources, DigiTimes is reporting that HTC is aiming to release its first ~~second~~ ~~third~~ UMPC sometime during the second quarter of this year. The only quoted specification is a 7-inch display, which suggests that this model will stray somewhat further into UMPC territory than its earlier relatives were rumored to have done: otherwise we can expect one very odd Windows Mobile device. Beyond the 7-inch display spec, the only other information about this device is its "Mobile Office Device" codename. What with HTC's reputation for giving its products weird and wonderful names before they head off for rebranding, we feel pretty sure that this won't retain its codename for much longer.
