Rob Bushway from GottaBeMobile has gotten his hands on one of the upgraded OQO model 02's, the one with the 1.6GHz VIA C7-M CPU and the 32GB SSD. Since Rob has already got a model 02 with a traditional hard drive, he set them up side by side for a good old-fashioned face off. The SSD newcomer really outshines the 4200rpm traditional hard-drive in so many ways, primarily in speed and battery life. Rob couldn't get Battery-Eater to successfully give a report, but from his own experiences he's getting anywhere between 30 minutes to a full hour more from the SSD version. Very impressive indeed.
This is a two round fight, so hit read more for the second half and the exciting conclusion. | | Click to Comment | Comments [ 0 ] |

ThoughtFix has put up another great video. This time he's showing us some pretty sweet car mounting kits from Pro Clips. He's got quite an assortment of ultra mobile devices set up on his dashboard. He's got an Apple iTouch, three different Nokia internet tablets, and two different mobile phones all mounted together. Obviously you wouldn't want all six of those devices at the same time, but having a variety of options available makes a big difference. Sweet ride ThoughFix! | | Click to Comment | Comments [ 0 ] |

This video shows you how to install your wireless USB modem on a UMPC running windows XP. The UMPC in the video is a Samsung Q1B and the modem is a Huawei E220 HSDPA USB modem. Setup is a snap with this sweet little device. You just plug in the modem, click next a few times and you're golden. Seriously, it's that easy. The USB modem has a flash disk with all of the drivers you'll need and it all works straight out of the box, no trips to the internet for drivers. This is how getting online should be: no visits from the cable guy, no phone lines run, no cables dropped, no router configuration, no PPPoE settings, no fuss. This is an awesome companion for your UMPC. Get out there and get online. | | Click to Comment | Comments [ 0 ] |

Last week, Facebook launched a new feature for businesses giving a home to non-sentient entities such as small businesses, websites, and brands. This is great for people who run websites as this new page is like a group on steroids, custom molded to suit your social networking desires. The coolest part? Readers can get a site badge on their personal profile to show their support for your website. I've gone ahead and created a Facebook Page for UML and I hope that if you are a Facebooker you'll visit my page and become a fan there to show your support.
I talk regularly with other mobile tech bloggers (hey Chippy and ThoughtFix!) but I don't hear much from the other regular readers of UML so this is your chance to get in touch with me. Add me to your friends list or become a fan of UML on Facebook and let me know who you all are. And if you've got a website, go ahead and put up a Facebook Page for it and let us know about it. The more the merrier! | | Click to Comment | Comments [ 0 ] |

UMPCs are a worldwide phenomenon, not like ultra portable notebooks of yesteryear that were only available in Japan. On Monday, we saw a video from Korea. Today, we've got a news segment on UMPCs from Hong Kong. Their focus in the segment is on an AMtek T770 that has been set up for home automation. UMPCs are a great resource for home automation because of their small size and ease of development, since they're based on x86 processors they don't need special development kits to write software for them. | Click to Comment | Comments [ 0 ] |
