Kohjinsha's UMPC gets a taste of SSD
Kohjinsha's UMPC/convertible tablet (and its various incarnations) has already been pretty well received since its release, but the company looks to be sweetening the deal even further, with it now set to offer the diminutive device with some solid state storage in place of the standard hard drive. From the looks of it, a 32GB SSD drive will be your only option on the solid state front, with the other specs remaining the same as before. That includes a 7-inch 1024x600 display, an Intel A100 processor, 1GB of RAM, an integrated 1.3 megapixel webcam, and built-in WiFi and Bluetooth. No word on price just yet, but it'll apparently be available for pre-order tomorrow.

The capacity is kinda small but it seems perfect for taking down notes

I really like the concept of UMPCs, don't know why some people don't. But unless the price is more consumer-friendly (sub-$1000), count me out.

Don't expect sub-1000 on this beast, look's like it will be $2084

Can someone tell me why you would want this over the much cheaper Fujitsu P1610? Seriously......I'd like to know what I'm missing here.

At $2000 there's not much going for it against a P1610 I have to admit.

I'm wondering about the specs: I have a Toshiba Libretto U105 (I love this thing), and it has a 1.2GHz Intel processor running WinXP. The Libretto is great, albeit noticeably slower than a larger laptop. How does the 600Mhz in the Kohjinsha measure up?
