The Gigabyte M528 is a pretty cool UMPC that has appeared at CeBIT in a great video by Chippy and jkkmobile. It’s a pretty full-featured UMPC that fits in your hand as you can see in the video. Valto over at PimpMyUMPC thought that the Gigabyte could be better and has created what in my opinion is the best UMPC I’ve seen yet, of course I’m biased. Would you pay for this?

This seems a lot like those cars that used to be payed for but were slathered with vinyl graphics advertising some company or another back in the boom. So, along the same lines, you should be sending these to people free of charge in markets you wish to expand in. Mandatory 30 minute tutorial on how to do the elevator pitch for JKOntherun would of course be acceptable.

Put me down for one if you adopt this marketing strategy…otherwise I will be forced to replace the graphics with pictures of my kids. Oh, and it should be a sweet tax break for you guys too.
