Windows

Here are some links and pics. I’ll write some opinions later.

* msmobiles.com - CeBIT 2006 coverage: first hand report from Microsoft press conference
* “Smart Caddie” with a VIA chip inside rather than Intel.

* More details on the TabletKiosk V-700 UMPC (good link with specs and pics)
* Official MS Press release & mini-interview
* Flash demo of Windows Launcher
* Ultra Mobile PC Display Emulator Beta - test your application on a UMPC screen format
* MSDN Dev center for UMPC

Obviously I think this is pretty significant or I wouldn’t bother with this article. I’ll tell you why when I have more time.

Quick specs:

* it runs win32 code, not Windows Mobile
* 2.5 hr+ battery life (which is way too short)
* 800×480 is a common resolution
* screen no larger than 7 inches
* tablet style input
* will work with USB or bluetooth keyboards
* wifi (duh)

Psi should be the first Jabber client to run on it. :D (update: here’s Psi running in the UMPC demo)
