New Averatec UMPC?
Brighthand is reporting a new UMPC device from Averatec that sports a 5 inch screen and a sliding keyboard. According to the article the AHI screen will run at a resolution of 1280 x 1024 which I find a bit unbelievable for a 5 inch screen. Talk about squinting! The AHI reportedly will have 2 USB slots, an SD/MMC slot and a 2 megapixel camera integrated into the small device. This device was first reported on I4U but Averatec asked them to remove the article and photos.
I hope they go through with it. I have a C3500 and to be honest the only thing that would force me to change it is that the digitizer isn’t 100% reliable all the time. That can get anoying real fast after a couple of client meetings.
A touch screen slate with a slide out keyboard would be perfect and Averatec is a company that has no problem pricing their products beneath the rest of the market.
