According to news coming out of Intel’s Developer Forum going on in Taipei, the extremely slick Yahoo UMPC is moving from concept to production, courtesy of gianormous manufacturing contractor, Quanta.
“The ultra-mobile PC is Quanta’s first. It will be the second Taiwanese company to enter the market, following the launch of Asustek Computer’s R2H last month. Quanta’s new UMPC runs Yahoo’s Go for ultra-mobiles, a joint software effort with Intel designed to deliver digital entertainment on devices that use Intel Viiv technology, including Go TV, and Yahoo photos, music and other content. Intel did not say which specific functions the ultra-mobile PC version of Go includes.”
Nice. Just when I think I’ve decided on my next purchase, some new UMPC news forces a delay in my spending (though I finally bought a new laptop… it’s one of the brand new HP Pavillions. Anyone interested in a review of that?).
I’ll be keeping an eye on the new Quanta. Read more at CIO.com.
