Earlier this month, Raon Digital's Everun was seen gracing the hands of an oh-so-lucky dame overseas, but now the fine looking UMPC has gotten a bit more personal thanks to a hands-on preview of the unit over at UMPCPortal. The AMD LX900-based production sample did lack an HSDPA module and the coveted SSD, but those two tidbits couldn't hold back the wave of commendation this unit received. The machine was highly praised for being comfortable, well-spec'd, and fluid when operating, and while we aren't apt to believe that all those first-generation UMPC problems were magically worked out on this sucka just yet, it's good to see positive results this early on. Without further ado, click on through for a couple of preview videos, and get ready for these things to start shipping out "sometime next month." 
The gadget looks nice
The keys are way to small. I prefer a slide out keypad as well as a built in GPS antenna for the money. The camera should be in the front facing the user so the user can see the screen if it's going to be called a webcam. A Vista version would be nice too.
Very nice portable Windows device with a 7 hour battery life. The most awkward thing is the screen resolution, since many Windows apps won't work well at 800x480 resolution.
I've had my eye on this ever since the first pics and specs were released. I think this will be a great success. I might just have to sell some stuff to get one of these.
But I wonder how good that new AMD Geode CPU is...
