Samsung's SPH-9200 gets specs, leaked manual
You may remember our old friend -- the Samsung SPH-9200 UMPC -- from way back in the hot and humid days of August, when we first laid eyes on the contraption (a re-up of the SPH-9000). Well, the little flip-out, fold-up has gone and gotten its manual leaked out to the internet, and we understand that at least two ultra-nerds have read it cover to cover. Of course, there's an upside -- we've got confirmed specs. What does it look like under the hood you ask? Well, the whole package runs atop a VIA C7-M CPU, sports 512MB of RAM, a 5-inch, 800 x 480 touchscreen, a 30GB hard drive, a 1.3-megapixel camera, WiFi, WiBro, HSDPA, and between two and five hours of battery life. No word on price or release date, but you can watch the most boring video possible of the device in action after the break.[Via SlashGear]
Samsung intros SPH-P9200 Deluxe MIT
Apart from its obvious smallness, Samsung's original SPH-P9000 "Deluxe MIT" proved to be a decent enough device when we got our hands on it at CES, with its built-in Mobile WiMAX support providing a welcome, if disappointingly slow added connectivity option (at least for those with access to it). Now it seems that Samsung has decided to give the device a bit of a refresh, rolling out its new and somewhat improved SPH-P9200 Deluxe MIT at the Samsung 4G Forum in Korea this week. While details are still pretty light, the big addition here looks to be a new 5-inch touchscreen, which would seem to make the unit a tad more usable. No word on any changes to the processor, but you can apparently expect the same 30GB hard drive and, of course, the same Mobile WiMAX connectivity, with Windows XP still hanging in as the OS.

Samsung's SPH-P9000 Deluxe MITs landing in December
If you're just not feeling the typical, customary UMPC, Samsung has the ultimate mishmash of laptop and ultraportable machine that you've been dreaming up, and it should be ready to rock in just "two weeks." That snazzy (albeit cockamamie) SPH-9000 was originally announced as the first thing to get after the holiday rush in "Q1 2007," but in a very atypical turn of events, the company is now announcing that the WiBro-packin' foldable should be ready by "early December" for pickup in South Korea. While we can't wait to see how functional this three-pieced machine really is, and whether its battery life breaks away from the short-lived stereotype its brethren have unfortunately created, we suppose we'll have to wait for a hands-on from overseas -- but hey, at least it'll get here an awful lot quicker than previously assumed.[Via SlashGear]
