Those engineers at Kohjinsha can’t be getting much sleep these days. First they out a dual display netbook and now they’re following it up with a mini-tablet UMPC. Pocketables caught up with the news out of CEATEC which shows a 4.8-inch Atom device running Windows XP. But while the PA series — Kohji’s name, not mine — looks like a baby notebook with the keyboard, the screen scan swivel and fold like a traditional Tablet PC.

The PA series weighs in at just over 14 ounces, so it’s not quite a pound for toting around. Unfortunately, there’s not much else that’s groundbreaking here in terms of features or specifications: a lowly 512MB of RAM, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, 1.3GHz Atom, 32GB SSD and an optical mouse is similar to what we’ve seen for nearly a year now. A more attractive or svelte package could have excited people a bit more, but maybe this more concept than final product.
