VIA's Mobile ITX is 75 mm x 45 mm, powering UMPCs next year and Intels Menlow motherbords will outline the sizes for MIDs at 143 mm x 74 mm...
Is there something confusing about Intel's board being 3 times bigger?
Look at this video too see how tiny that VIA's board is

Perfect example of performance CPU on UMPC
I have heard people complaining that Intel doesn't do faster CPUs for umpcs...
.. core 2 solo u2200 running at 1.2 GHz is pretty fast for a small mobile computer?
Sony put that on a package under 500g and with 3 hour battery life! If other oems would have balls, we could see these cpus on other umpcs too.... yep, they are expensive.. and sports cars cost more than wagons.
So stop wining about Intel and call your favorite oem to start making ultra mobile performance computers.

Hope they release their umpc with hsdpa soon as the real mobility depends on connectivity.

Samsung Q1 Ultra specs still misleading
I have heard too many times people buying Q1 Ultra and getting it without bluetooth even it was printed on the sales ad and Samsung product site.
Continue reading...
Both Samsung Q1 Ultra microsite and official pdf states bluetooth on model NP-Q1UAY01 but customers are getting it without!!!
Samsung: Please clean your act and specsheets !!
Please pass this info to others. Let's push Samsung to correct their facts and customer service.
