But it is a nice PDA Phone if they would think about changing the color.]]>Jun 14th 2007 9:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/14/compal-showcases-prototype-umpc-running-windows-ce/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/14/compal-showcases-prototype-umpc-running-windows-ce/

But still, this is not a umpc. It has the specs of a pdaphone, it's the size of a pdaphone, and it has the os of a pdaphone...It's a pdaphone.]]>Jun 14th 2007 10:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/14/compal-showcases-prototype-umpc-running-windows-ce/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/14/compal-showcases-prototype-umpc-running-windows-ce/it is a type of it
even the good old Sega Dreamcast had a type of Windows CE
Compal probably made their own]]>Jun 15th 2007 2:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/14/compal-showcases-prototype-umpc-running-windows-ce/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/14/compal-showcases-prototype-umpc-running-windows-ce/Jun 14th 2007 9:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/14/compal-showcases-prototype-umpc-running-windows-ce/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/14/compal-showcases-prototype-umpc-running-windows-ce/Jun 14th 2007 9:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/14/compal-showcases-prototype-umpc-running-windows-ce/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/14/compal-showcases-prototype-umpc-running-windows-ce/Jun 14th 2007 9:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/14/compal-showcases-prototype-umpc-running-windows-ce/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/14/compal-showcases-prototype-umpc-running-windows-ce/http://techon.nikkeibp.co.jp/article/NEWS/20070607/133773/

seems there's a nice BLACK colour too!]]>Jun 14th 2007 10:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/14/compal-showcases-prototype-umpc-running-windows-ce/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/14/compal-showcases-prototype-umpc-running-windows-ce/but that 5 hours of battery life is pretty shitty
I wouldnt get it even if it did come out because of that]]>Jun 14th 2007 10:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/14/compal-showcases-prototype-umpc-running-windows-ce/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/14/compal-showcases-prototype-umpc-running-windows-ce/Jun 14th 2007 10:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/14/compal-showcases-prototype-umpc-running-windows-ce/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/14/compal-showcases-prototype-umpc-running-windows-ce/http://techon.nikkeibp.co.jp/article/NEWS/20070607/133773/

in BLACK too it seems]]>Jun 14th 2007 10:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/14/compal-showcases-prototype-umpc-running-windows-ce/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/14/compal-showcases-prototype-umpc-running-windows-ce/http://techon.nikkeibp.co.jp/article/NEWS/20070607/133773/?SS=imgview&FD=291939425&ad_q

the black one up close....mmmmmmmmm

unfortunatly i believe this is going to be like the SHARP EM ONE.

it is a data only device, the specs say HSDPA but no phone like frequencies. hope it is not hust data as it would be such a waste. throw in a at LEAST a 2 meg auto-focus cam and a multimedia chip (qualcomm or nvidia) and this is a great phone.]]>Jun 14th 2007 10:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/14/compal-showcases-prototype-umpc-running-windows-ce/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/14/compal-showcases-prototype-umpc-running-windows-ce/Jun 14th 2007 10:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/14/compal-showcases-prototype-umpc-running-windows-ce/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/14/compal-showcases-prototype-umpc-running-windows-ce/
"...running Windows CE 5.0 in favor of the battery-draining XP or Vista"
The reason for this was probably less likely battery concerns but the fact that XP or Vista can't fit on 512MB Nand flash and a decent PC os would slow to a crawl on this hardware.]]>Jun 14th 2007 11:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/14/compal-showcases-prototype-umpc-running-windows-ce/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/14/compal-showcases-prototype-umpc-running-windows-ce/Jun 15th 2007 6:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/14/compal-showcases-prototype-umpc-running-windows-ce/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/14/compal-showcases-prototype-umpc-running-windows-ce/At the moment programmers writing for desktop PC's have no limits they just bang in features and let the huge ram cope with it all, Nokia should start making PC's with the same restraints as a mobile phone, you'd start to see highly efficient apps and hardware that performs just as well.
A laptop running XP is a goddam joke...bloatware that requires hardware sucking huge Li-ion batteries dry within hours and cooling fans, in 20yrs time we will see this as the steampunk era.]]>Jun 15th 2007 4:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/14/compal-showcases-prototype-umpc-running-windows-ce/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/14/compal-showcases-prototype-umpc-running-windows-ce/Jun 15th 2007 7:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/14/compal-showcases-prototype-umpc-running-windows-ce/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/14/compal-showcases-prototype-umpc-running-windows-ce/1) with TCPMP, it will play typical VGA sized xvid/divx movies (hopefully while using A2DP Bluetooth headphones)
2) with TomTom Navigator and a Bluetooth connected GPS receiver, it will be a decent GPS/navigation unit (with a big display)
3) with Skype for PocketPC, it will do VOIP over WiFi access.
I'd rather have a full-sized SD slot for 4/8+GB storage, but other than that pretty nice.]]>Jun 15th 2007 7:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/14/compal-showcases-prototype-umpc-running-windows-ce/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/14/compal-showcases-prototype-umpc-running-windows-ce/

IF IT DOESN'T HAVE A X86 PROCESSOR AND RUN WINDOWS XP OR VISTA, ITS NOT A UMPC ITS A FREAKING POCKET PC!]]>Jun 15th 2007 12:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/14/compal-showcases-prototype-umpc-running-windows-ce/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/14/compal-showcases-prototype-umpc-running-windows-ce/Jun 18th 2007 4:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/14/compal-showcases-prototype-umpc-running-windows-ce/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/14/compal-showcases-prototype-umpc-running-windows-ce/Most people only need the basic functions of a computer, so for them something like this is great.]]>Jun 22nd 2007 10:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/14/compal-showcases-prototype-umpc-running-windows-ce/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/14/compal-showcases-prototype-umpc-running-windows-ce/Jul 8th 2007 12:06AM
