Up to this point the Founder MiniNote UMPC has only been available in China, where according to sources it is selling well. Ultranauts is reporting this morning that it will be available globally in October. But if you follow the link to the International Distributor’s page from Ultranauts there is some confusing info. First up you notice the big, “Origami Ready!” under technical details, and then below that you see “Windows XP Home (Simplified Chinese).” Not sure if the site is just behind the times, or what’s up. Curious.

Chris over at TabletPCTalk.com has a quick comparison chart up of Ultra-Mobile PC's. Funny thing is that there really is not much difference between units -- yet. We'll see once they hit the market which one floats to the top!
Update: A couple of other sites have come to light as well, that have lots of good listing info on UMPC (and more):

Thanks for the updates folks!

Lora and Loren have posted a video of the Founder UMPC over at UMPCBuzz.com
The Founder MiniNote Ultra Mobile PC (UMPC) was used in the Car & Driver Magazine WPF demo, so it received quite a bit of attention once it was brought into The Sandbox. It is the thinnest and lightest UMPC that we've seen so far. The Founder has a mat black finish with red highlight and the buttons are very close together for quick thumb action.
0-30 sec - Fits in the palm of your hand. Watch people use the touch screen DialKeys to enter information. 40 - 60 - See the red highlight around the unit. 56 - Volume Control 1 min - power button and vent 1:06 - stand 1:16 - built-in camera and thumb keys. The round button in the middle moves the cursor position 1:34 - Closeup of USB ports that are hidden below rubber 1:47 - Sudoku game that is included with Touch Pack 2:04 - Who appears but none other than Tablet PC Guy playing with the built in camera. 2:22 - Time to watch movie trailers and a movie.
