The revision they showed was a prototype and not finalized, if intel is phasing out the *-M procs used on the previous generation they may be pushed to use the A110. Or, since their release window is the end of the year, they could push it back for the next proc if they wish.

Well, this is why I'm praying the whole time, because it's not clear what is going to happen.

today the "best" umpc still is q1u

do you mean from the Second Generation?

Disagree with you on this one. That split keyboard does not convince me too much. But at this point is a matter of preferences. All of them so far lack of performance... And I need that. Again, it's a matter of preferences.

when htc shift hits markets it might take the lead ...  us702 will be available at q1 08 so a lot af waiting if u deside to wait...

Fully agree with you on this one. I'm praying for the US702 not using the A110 neither the VIA of course ;) If the new Intel processors are not here I would buy it with a Celeron.

Do you have more information on the US702? I have only been able to find small pics and vids of the device on Google, and neither are very detailed as far as the exterior of the device is concerned. How big is the screen, for example?

And if Intel is trying to push UMPCs as a low-power alternative to notebooks, yet more powerful than smartphones, then why would they use a notebook processor (i.e. mobile Celeron w/o SpeedStep) in a device?

If you look at UMPCportal.com UMPC Table, you will find all the information that you are looking for. About your processor question, well, the fact is that those units that you saw in those videos where using Celeron (is not I'm right JKK?). Intel is pushing to the only thing they have "new" available. But market could push OEMs to a different path. One example of this are keyboards. The majory of the UMPC in the second generation have keyboards and I would say that that happens thank to the press and communities asking for keyboards.

Wow, that looks REALLY nice. I may have to get an Q1U now and check out this puppy in early H2 2008.

Hmm so whats so good about the soon-to-be-released-Q1U-killer?

 

Cant wait. for Q1U CMV to come out...

 

 

But makes me think should I buy a say.. disposable UMPC or the best one money can buy?

nothing, unless everytime you need to type something you enjoy finding extra space to set your machine down, unfolding it, being stuck pivoting your body around it instead of it moving with you (since it's basically a laptop at this point & no longer a vertical-market machine).

not to mention that sweet sweet fuzzy 800x480 screen with multiple cutoff dialog boxes, mmmmm.

the US702W. That one is a lot smaller than the Ultra, It has a real keyboard in case you need it and as a convertible you  can use it as a Tablet PC and forget that it has a keyboard if that bothers you a lot. Before the US702W the HTC Shift should be released, if you ask me the design of HTC is more "usable" than all the others designs that I have seen because the keyboard can be used in two different possitions from what I have seen in multiple pictures.

Let me point out that although both the US702w and the Shift do have qwerty keyboards neither is a full keyboard in the sense that they use smaller keys then normal. You can see the difference in the size of the keyboard relative to the size of the screen. Both the Shift and the US702w have keyboards that stretch the length of the 7" screen. If you look at designs like the ASUS T83 and the new Kohjinsha K600 they have a large bevel around the screen and the keyboard stretches the length of the screen and the bevel. Those are full sized keyboards and they will make heavy use of the keyboard easier, of course at the expense of portability.

Its a trade off where everyone can find their own preference. For me it would be the T83 size.

us702 has 1024 x 600 screen...

Even with all that. The keyboard position makes it more usable than in the rest of all the other designs that I have seen.

If you mean the slide out keyboards like on the Erath or the Compal or the Q1u mini-keypad solutions I agree. http://www.umpcportal.com/modules/news/article.php?storyid=694 UMPCPortal just gave an update on the K600 and I infinitly more prefer the K600 style large bevel screen though.

Please don't use word "design" when talking t83 or k600 compared to us702 ;)

If i talk about the design factor on us702, there is nothing to compare it.

I would suggest holding judgement until the final unit is out and we see how it holds up to expectations. Design means little if it the super thin screen breaks after a month. Or they may have to add bulk to the unit because of engineering complications (by my understanding the demo 700 had no battery and the 702 was a dummy unit)

JKK holded one completely usable I think. And I have seen videos of units that were working no just dummies.

The one I saw in JKK's video and others was the 700 (no keyboard) without the battery (note it was plugged in the whole time), and they even comment in the cebit video that the side buttons don't work, just the touchscreen. The 702 (with keyboard) was a mockup.
