Lia Timson rounds up the coolest gadgets at the latest technology trade show.
The EO ultra mobile personal computer.The latest mobile computer.Among the stars of the show was the ultra-mobile personal computer between a tablet PC and a personal digital assistant with full PC capabilities at half of the price of a tablet. The new $1650 EO from TabletKiosk is 50 per cent bigger than the average PDA, runs Windows XP and ditches Pocket PC applications in favour of full Windows software versions.
It's handier and lighter than a tablet or laptop and more useful than a PDA, primarily because of its 17 cm touch screen. The ultra mobile personal computer will come with hard drives from 30GB to 160GB, and with memory up to 1GB. It is Wifi i and internet enabled, but does not have a mobile phone, although we are told one can be connected via Bluetooth.
