Another UMPC? The Arima UM650UV1
Looks like another entry in Ultra-Mobile PC land. Carrypad is reporting on the Arima UM650UV1. (Ok, an editorial disruption here-UMPC OEMs everywhere please hear this. You need to come up with something a bit more creative for the names of these devices if you ever want to see them get into the hands of consumers. Who is going to go shopping for a UM650UV1 or the v7210? Come on, show some marketing savvy somewhere in the process and come up with some creative names. /end editorial disruption.)
Back on track here. Carrypad has photos and specs (listed below.) Note the UM650UV1 (tiresome to type too, irksome to ink) comes with a slide out keyboard and they are advertising 4–5 hour battery life.
