Gigabyte UMPC U60

Holy Smokes Batman!
Kiss goodbye to your smartphones and PDAs people, the UMPC U60 just crashed the party. With a 6.5 inch LCD screen the U60 will have smartphones checking in their underwear and wondering where it went all over the world.

The GIGABYTE UMPC U60 features the VIA C7-M processor, built-in IEEE 802.11 b/g wireless for wide compatibility, and the Bluetooth 2.0+EDR for increased data transfer rate which is three times faster than that of the conventional Bluetooth. It’s equipped with built-in stereo microphones and speaker, 300K pixel webcam with auto face detection and focusing functionality, which allow for automatic recognition of face(s) in the frame and follow the object even if he or she moves. It also allows for future upgrades with GPS satellite navigation module and DVB-T digital TV receiver module, which will turn your U60 into a navigation system and multimedia digital TV that you can carry with you on the go.

The power saving design of the GIGABYTE UMPC U60 stands out among the many UMPCs on the market. The VIA C7-M ULV 770 1GHz ultra low voltage processor features the Enhanced Power Saver technology using only 5W of power. In addition, the combination of the ultra thin LED backlight at 3.3V, the 1.8 inch ultra thin and low power consumption hard drive and the Windows Portal Power Management allows the U60 for up to 4 hours of battery life. All in 740 grams.

Hand writing recognition under Window XP Home for the first delivery. Clearly aimed at the business market, this is just another “got to have” to add to the Christmas list - if they ever ship them to the US that is.
