Carrypad posted a new review of Flybook V33i. Good product, good review.
Summary
Style and portability with a rich specification set. The Flybook doesnt just dress to kill, it performs too. High-points include the rotating screen, the graphics co-processor and the cellular data radio. Its a shame it doesn’t have a full tablet PC operating system but the included handwiritng recognition software goes some way to making up for that.

Carrypad posted nice comparison photos of Tabletkiosk eo i7210 and V7110. (You can check out the bigger res pictures through the list upper left corner, it loads a little slow, patience)
JKK made a nice (but a bit slow-motion and boring!) video review of Tabletkiosk eo i7210.
UltraSync, the UMPC-focused syncronization software we annoınced a few months ago is now released. You can download a 14-day trial from here.
“UltraSync v1 is a peer-to-peer, bi-directional PC synchronization application for synchronizing files, folders, Outlook® email, and Internet favorites between an Ultra-Mobile PC (UMPC) and a desktop or notebook PC (”partner PC”) via wired or wireless LAN. UltraSync is profile-based, allowing users to select the specific files and folders to be synced. Folder selections can be filtered by age, file type and the inclusion/exclusion of subfolders. Additionally, users can sync their Outlook folders and browser favorites.”
Hugo disassembled a Tabletkiosk eo and posted some good pictures. You can check them out through here.
First two are from Gottabemobile, eo i7210 realtime demo and TabletKiosk eo i7210 InkShow. They seem to be unavailable now, but they are worth watching.
The last one is a new device’s, S-XGen’s video.
The S-XGen is the newest contender in the rapidly expanding Ultra Mobile Personal Computer (UMPC) class of minicomputers. The S-XGen has a robust shock-proof 20GB hard drive, a 6.5″ X 3.8″ X 1.125″ form factor, including a TFT Transflective Touch Screen viewable in sunlight, 802.11b/g and Bluetooth connectivity, SD MMC and Compact Flash sockets, 2 USB 2.0 ports, and a near full-sized Qwerty folding keyboard, stereo speakers and inputs/outputs, docking socket and tri-band cell phone communications capability. GPS capability will be available as an add-on.
Yahoo reports agopc’s UMPC ago7’s (Amtek T700/Tabletkiosk eo V7110 with 512 MB RAM and 40 GB Hard Drive) price got lowered $100 to $799.
Steve from Carrypad made a really good review of Raon Digital Vega. I was expecting a few benchmarks, especially time for opening MS Office etc. and comparison photos with UX,eo and/or Q1. (Word takes a week to load on my Athlon 64 :D)
The Vega is an Ultra Mobile PC in a class on its it’s own right now. Although there are a few devices in the same size class (Sony UX, DualCor, Nokia 770) nothing can match the price/functionality ratio of the Vega. As I said before, this isn’t a device that can handle all the office applications that you will throw at it. Its not a 3D gaming PC either. Despite the form factor being perfect, its not powerful enough to handle modern games.
Under normal use and with the screen brightness turned down slightly, this is a 5 hour device.
A quick note to say that I’ve just run the Vega playing audio with the screen off for 7 hours and 10 minutes.
