TabletKiosk decided to enter the UMPC market with the announcement of “eo”. This UMPC device will be released at the end of April with two initial versions – there will be a model at the going rate of $899, while a second model with and upgraded hard drive will be priced at a special offer of $999. However, the special offer will expire shortly after the “eo” begins to ship.
The eo wraps a 7-inch TFT-LCD touch screen around either a black or white chassis housing a 1.0-GHz Via C7M processor. The $899 base configuration includes 256MB of memory and a 30GB, 4,200-RPM hard drive, although the $999 upgrade special includes a faster and larger 40GB, 5,400-RPM drive, Levy said. Users will also be able to ask for memory up to a full gigabyte as well as up to a 160GB hard drive, according to TabletKiosk. Bluetooth and 802.11g Wi-Fi functionality has been built in, the company said. The PC ships with Microsoft Windows Tablet Edition as well as the Microsoft Touch Pak. The chassis has been designed to be convenient for lefties as well as righties, the company said. Battery life will be about 2.5 hours, or 4 hours with an extended battery.
So far, the first generation of UMPCs that we’ve seen sport a 7.0” touch screen and battery life between 2.5-4 hrs. Hopefully with the second generation UMPCs, we’ll be seeing a screen size with more functionality and battery that will last longer than the average movie… I’m crossing my fingers!
