If you're a Kohjinsha fan (and trust us, UMPC pumpers love 'em) then you'll want to take note of this, their latest flagship mini. The new SH8-series eases the processor up a notch to an 800MHz Intel A110 while stiffening the disk to 120GB -- 32GB SSDs still available. Unfortunately, they've somehow managed to decrease battery life from 3.5- to 3.3-hours with the SSD, or 3.1-hours with an HDD -- a real no-no for ultraportables. You'll be looking at ¥238,000 (about $2,047) fully specced with a 1Seg TV tuner and Vista / MS Office pre-load when these hit Japan in September. Docked, white-on-black style after the break.

Oh I always wanted so say something like this: "That antenna is so 80's" ^___^
decrease in battery life probably due to switch from XP to Vista.
same thing happened with Sony SZ, battery went from 6 hrs to 5 or something like that.
why would you want something so small? save 1000 bucks and get a macbook or save 1500 and get any old pc. you'll get twice the specs for only a couple inches. nobody is so cramped they cant spare a couple inches.
Moreso, who would want to run Vista with 800mhz of processing power?
yo quiero uno de estos... :_____D
LoL, It's Nice.
i will stick with my q1u
Hi there. Here we come again!!
I still think this thing looks like a portable DVD player with a keyboard. It really neeeds to have a bigger screen and a mucho lower price tag.
I think I will just stick with my OQO Model 2 but this does look nice though.
The model 2 is a lot better and more stylish IMO.
Podrian regalarme una, porfavor.
Man, these things are cool.
Me wantee!
so cool
