Hands-on with LG's HSDPA-enabled UMPC prototype

No matter if you call it a MID, UMPC, or just ultra-portable, this LG is smokin'. Decent keyboard, touch-screen with stylus, HSDPA data, power savvy Menlow chipset under a 4.8-inch WVGA display sporting Vista gives us hope for what will amount to a 3rd generation UMPC when it launches in the 2nd half of the year for an undisclosed price. Not for you though US Americans, this one is heading to Europe, Asia, and Canada.

How come it says Toshiba?

That's what I logged in to says....how about giving LG it's due? It's bad enough that Japan has dominated the market for so many years...now they get credit for Korean products, too?

@BigDave

Wow... someone didn't have their bran muffin this morning. Feeling a little vitriolic this evening? Maybe a little blocked up? Don't worry, it'll pass :-)

Haha, that's weird that Canada would get it and not the US. I mean haha in a good way.

Man, I want one.
(and hey, I might actually get one since they're actually coming to Canada...)
