Yea, we’re aware of the M528 Ultra Mobile PC. We’re 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, there’s a slick 4.8 inch touch screen with 480x800 pixels for awesome clarity and MicroSD memory slot. Moreover, there’s 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 you’d find this one attractive too.

The Windows Mobile banner flies high and millions of devices are churned out every year! Acer has done it with Gigabyte in tow.

So, HTC will not be the only makers of big windows mobile devices like the Shift and Athena. Samsung takes Windows Mobile to the next level by packing it into a WiMax enabled Internet tablet device, the Mondi! Looks like the Nokia 810 WiMax Internet tablet which apparantly failed in the end.

Gigabyte Gsmart S1200 is a new pocketpc with Smart Zone as a custom designed user interface.

HTC is preparing a NetBook for you.

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. The price tag or 1500 USD might be worth it if you were looking for a much portable laptop. And there's already as hack to release the full potential of Windows Mobile overcoming HTC' limitations.

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!

Couple 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

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.
