Sinchun 891A Tablet Netbook – An 8.9-inch UMPC

Sunchun’s 8.9-inch 891A UMPC, a tablet netbook that is made in China. It has 1024 x 600 pixel touch screen display which supports finger as-well-as stylus input. It comes with same boring netbook specs that you used to find in an year old netbook: Intel Atom processor N270 (1.6GHz), 1GB RAM, 8/16/32GB SSD, Wi-Fi and Windows XP Home. It is possible to get one with build-in 3G modem. It is very light (weighs approx 1kg).

The weakest part of this netbook in term of specs is its small battery, whose capacity is just 1700mAh. It will barely be able to provide you with 2 hours of battery life. Expect the price to be around $441 USD

Red Fox WizBook 890i unveiled – in an Advertisement pamphlet though

Red Fox has unveiled a new netbook, WizBook 890i, which sports a bit out-of-date specifications. It has an Intel Atom 1.6GHz processor, 8.9-inch screen 1024×600 resolution, 1GB RAM, 3-cell battery (3800mAh), 120GB HDD, 802.11b/g Wi-Fi and built-in webcam.

There is a higher version of the Wizbook 890i model too in which you get a 2GB of RAM and 250GB HDD. According to the pamphlet, it will come in only one color: Red.

Commentary: We totally agree that it is a no-frills netbook, but we are very sure that there is a decent market for these 9-inch models. Many people are finding the current crop of netbooks too big to carry around and this is where these (affordable) 9-inch netbooks fit in.

ASUS churns out ION Powered Eee Box EB1012 – NetTop capable of doing 1080p videos!

ASUS has launched their first ION powered nettop, the ASUS Eee Box EB1012, which makes it the most powerful nettop by ASUS till date. This Vista running little thing packs in a dual core Atom processor together with the powerful ION chipset.

Let’s take a glance at its specifications first, shall we?

• dual core Atom N330 processor
• 2GB RAM
• 250GB HDD
• WiFi (b/g/n) and LAN
• Windows Vista Home Premium
• Bluetooth (optional)
• 6 USB ports
• HDMI and VGA ports (!)
• eSATA port

This ION nettop, which is seemingly looking nice has some distinguishing features that make it better than the Acer Aspire Revo as it has an Wi-Fi antenna for better signal reception and dual core Atom N330 processor.

The RAM can also be upgraded to 4GB, which is great if you plan to install Windows 7 in future on this little nettop. It is available in two colors, Black and White.

Oh and in case, if you have forgotten, this is an ION-powered nettop and it will be able to do 1080p video easily!

The source has informed that it would be launched in the same month as it would in the US, that is September. It will be making its debut in the UK in the first week of September and it will be priced at 449 pounds, which is a not cheap for a netbook. But we must understand the fact that this is not a just another netbook with standard specs. It is an ION NETBOOK which is more powerful than the netbooks with standard configurations.

It comes with a 6-Cell battery that will give you 7.5+ hours of battery life. Samsung N510 UK version specs are as follows:

Nokia N900 unboxed! – best looking MID

Nokia N900 is the Nokia’s latest offering for the MID-lovers. The Nokia N900 runs Maemo OS and comes with a 5MP camera. Orzlive.com was able to get hold of N900 and they have posted few unboxing pictures of this beauty.

Features:

• Full QWERTY keyboard
• Built-in GPS,、Wi-Fi and Bluetooth
• Display: 3.5-inch
• Resolution:800 x 480
• OS: Maemo 5
• FM radio
• 5MP camera

If the Nokia N900 had the capability to run Windows XP OS or even Ubuntu, I would have already bought it. Also, another big ‘minus’ in N900 is the fact that there is still no bump in resolution. It still runs at WVGA resolution, which is no more considered as ‘de-facto’. We thought that 2 years were enough for Nokia to realize that people want to see more at a time, but we were wrong!
