Ctitanic ran across this brochure for a new UMPC from Ruvo, a Malaysian company. This UMPC is similar to the Gigabyte U60 and features a 1.2 GHz VIA C7-M processor and the efficient VIA VX700 chipset. Currently, we don't know when they will be shipping the device, but we'll keep our eye out for it and let you know when it's available.

Apparently this guy's UMPC makes him feel like the green giant and so he's selling it. I don't know just how big this guy is, but I don't feel ridiculously huge when I'm using my OQO model 02. Of course I'm just an average-sized guy at 5'11" so my hands are not gigantic enough to cause me troubles with the device. I think, perhaps it's the Sony's poor keyboard response that the guy doesn't like. Well, I hope he can sell his UMPC and find a suitable device. Good luck!

Today I put in a request for this sweet HSDPA modem, I need to get out of the office more so I can put my UMPCs to the test and this is just the way to do it. Check out the connectivity on this baby:

• HSDPA
• UMTS
• EDGE
• GPRS
• GSM

All that in a little USB device that's about a quarter the size of your mouse. Looking at all the hacks that ThoughtFix has done to his UMPC has got me thinking about how I could cram one of these inside of a Samsung Q1B. I'm really looking forward to getting one of these and getting out more, it'll probably be a few weeks before I get my grubby mitts on this USB modem.

OQO's new CEO has a blog and I am going to keep my eye on it. So far he's been highlighting a lot of happy OQO users out there. I don't think he's having any trouble finding people that are happy with their model 02s and model e2s. I like this quote personally:

I'm going to be keeping an eye on this blog, it's definitely a good place to keep up on what OQO is doing. If you've got an OQO, you should check out the OQO Owners network I started up on Ning or if you want the OQO forums that have been around since the model 01, check out OQO Talk.
