Wibrain's B1 UMPC gets showcased on video
It's Wibrain's (recently redesigned) B1, and it's on video. Granted, it's narrated in a foreign language, but hey, it's the B1, and it's on video. Thankfully, the clip does include a shot of an updated specifications list (in English), so here's the skinny on all that: we're now looking at a VIA C7M ULV 1.2GHz processor, a 4.0-inch (or is that 4.8-inch?) 1,024 x 600 resolution panel, your choice of 512MB or 1GB of RAM, 802.11b/g, Bluetooth 2.0+EDR, a 30GB / 60GB 4,200RPM PATA hard drive, four-cell standard Li-ion battery (six-cells in the extended one), stereo speakers, a built-in webcam and a number of connectivity options including HSDPA / UMTS, GSM / GPRS / EDGE and WiMAX. As for ports, the sheet explains that it'll have a single USB jack, headphone output, microphone input and a cradle connector to boot. Go on, check out the video after the break, but make sure you call over a translator before pressing play.

Reminds me of an old 1st-gen sharp wizard... chunky/blocky

I thought it looked like the Atari Lynx :)

I've had confirmation on final shipping specs and that it will ship before Christmas.
No pricing yet though.'

Anyone else notice their site shows a silver version of the device? Looks real nice to me!

That is the older version of the unit. The new black one is the recently redesigned and probably the final release version.

No, that's what I thought at first, but if you look on tbe poroducts page, you can see a silver version with the same round buttons, rather than the silver pie-plate thing, down on the left. It's a silver version of the same new design.

Looks like a hyper-extended N-Gage- but will it blend?

It's korean. I will explain because I am korean. It seems the man talking to the camera is CEO or a PR manger. Basically he says that the small computer can do anything which small computers should do with a great mobility. Also he says that this is the first mobile computer and his company will develop another one soon to become the number one mobile computer company in the world.
