Match Tech Industrial puts the M860 UMPC in your hands, 2,000 at a time

From the magical town of Shenzhen in mainland China, we present you with a new OEM UMPC manufactured by Match Tech Industrial. The M860 is a 7-inch, 800 x 480 touchscreen device sporting a 1.2GHz VIA processor, 60GB hard drive, WiFi, an SD slot, and 1GB of DDR2 Memory. Also housed in the otherwise unremarkable black plastic case: three USB 2.0 ports, a VGA port, 1.3-megapixel camera, and optional internal GPS and Bluetooth. Shipping with Windows XP Home, Match Tech promises the user "3 to 4 hours working time" before it needs to be recharged. There's no price listed, but if you're interested, the minimum order is 2,000 units, and who knows -- at the right price, with the right branding, you could have a nice little product here. Ready to dive in? Don't hesitate to contact the company's head salesman, Mr. Strong Chan. No, seriously.

No way this thing is going to be under $300

And right next door to Mr. Strong Chan's Office is Vandelay Industries, Mr. Art is the Importer Exporter of Latex...

And don't forget Primatech paper and Acme co.

not just an importer but an importer-exporter

[AWK @ Sep 12th 2008 4:01PM]

Wow this thing looks pretty thin for what it's packin in side. A removeable battery would be nice though.

thats what she said!

[bob @ Sep 12th 2008 4:03PM]

Damnit, I was hoping to get 3,000 of these with my order. Max order is 2,999 units :(

[sinai @ Sep 12th 2008 4:10PM]

do you know of Strong Chan's brothers: Strong Man and Strong San?

Hello:

Trying to sell 7 inch UMPC is very difficult considering there are 10 inch notebooks like the
MSI Wind selling for $450.00 with Windows XP.

But if Match Tech Industrial can manufacture a 4.5 inch Mobile Internet device with slideout keyboard and Windows XP and price it under $275.00 selling, now that would be something to buy.

Regards Robert

why does everyone want the impossible tech at bargain basement prices?

While you are at it, why don't you ask for a 1 week's worth of battery life, while playing crysis at 60fps?

I love it if Apple made this.

[Sundog @ Sep 12th 2008 4:48PM]

Looks like someone's distributorship deal on a new GPS system fell through.

I have one of these already - it's called a hacked Mio C520. Cool beans indeed.

[CL @ Sep 12th 2008 5:52PM]

As much as I love the Mios for their hackabilty, but you do realize the Mios run on Windows CE, right? This is a full blown x86 Windows XP machine.

[Sundog @ Sep 12th 2008 5:54PM]

Do'h. What kind of vision defect turns XP into CE? Whatever it is, I guess I have it.

[Rogue_Genius @ Sep 12th 2008 6:33PM]

Any relation to Strong Bad? :D

[Jon Doe. @ Sep 12th 2008 6:57PM]

Screw the device. I want the wallpaper.

It looks like a Nokia 770, but... big.
