The Asus R70a UMPC: Another Slate UMPC

jkkmobile and Steve “Chippy” Paine, the CeBit boys, managed to get quite a bit of good video at CeBit, including this one of the Asus R70a and the R50 UMPCs. Between the Asus UMPCs and the GigaByte M700 UMPC, at least there are some slate (meaning no keyboard) UMPCs about to be on the market. Another nice thing for Inkers, is that the R70a digitizer is “hard touch” screen which should make Inking palatable. At least that was the case for me with the “hard touch” screen on the Asus R2H.

Note the size differences between the two.
