Yea, were aware of the M528 Ultra Mobile PC. Were also aware of the fact that the M520 from the Gigabyte banner is touted to hit the stands pretty soon.
Powered by a Windows Mobile 6.1 Pro core, theres a slick 4.8 inch
touch screen with 480x800 pixels for awesome clarity and MicroSD memory
slot. Moreover, theres also the HSDPA phone capability, Wi-Fi,
Bluetooth, 800 MHz CPU, 4 GB ROM, integrated GPS, 3 megapixel camera
and a slide out QWERTY keyboard to be proud of. If you drooled over the
suave appearance of the HTC Advantage, chances are youd find this one
attractive too.

HTC Shift in USA HTC Shift is the first device to run both Windows Vista and Windows Mobile together! Starting March 24th 2008, HTC Shift will be available from Sprint with CDMA Evdo connectivity.

Compal set to launch UMPC with Windows CE!
With the prototype tag, a device from Compal can run
Windows CE 5.0 than the XP or Vista (which depletes the battery)! Called the
Ultra Mobile Device or UMD, this portable device doubles up as a Smartphone. It
runs effectively with HSDPA and has a 532MHz Freescale i.MX31 processor and
256MB of DDR RAM. With 512 MB of NAND Flash memory and SIM card slot (with a
miniSD slot for excess media) this device is multi faceted! The 4.3 inch WVGA
display, a slide out QWERTY key board, trackpad, built in speaker and
microphone gives his device a sleek look! This device also supports a Wi-Fi and
flaunts a 1.3 megapixel CMOS camera! The USB provides connectivity with a
headphone jack (which enables almost 5 hours of battery on a meager five watt
power usage). The mandatory media playing software and Skype applications are
supported by this device! Ironically, there’s no release date put forward by
Compal (not even a tentative one!) but there’s hope that it would eventually be
launched!
Gigabyte g-Smart q60Couple of months ago, they launched a device named i128. It had a nice shape and structure in a Pocket PC form factor. See the image below.  And now, they announce anouther device named q60 which almost looks like a transistor with all those big old school aerials. Only improvement is the support for 3G. - WM6 Professional (Pocket PC)
- Intel XScale 520Mhz CPU
- Triband GSM / Singleband 3G/HSDPA
- 2.1MP Camera (and forward facing VGA video calling camera)
- "Optional" GPS and TV applications
- Built-in antenna

Information
on this device is still a little thin on the ground. It's not very
clear whether it will have GPS and TV hardware which is then
enabled by ROM upgrades depending on the carrier (like has happened
with the Trinity) or whether carriers will have to opt to have the
hardware included
HTC Athena, UMPC like Pocket PC?
We heard from pdaclub.pl that HTC is working on a new Pocket PC Athena which sports the look of an UMPC. This device highlights a detachable keypad which can be slided behind the device too and can be placed on desk such as in the above image to give the feel of working on a mini laptop. The device will have a 400 Mhz processor and will be a triband GSM/GPRS/EDGE. And a 2MP camera too! Lets wait for it.
