Only Umpc

The R2H features a 900MHz Celeron M processor, 768MB of memory, 60GB hard drive, 7" WVGA screen, 802.11g, Bluetooth 2.0+EDR, fingerprint reader, onboard GPS, two USB 2.0 ports, a 6860 mAh battery and comes with a 2-year limited global warranty (1-year warranty on the battery).
Battery Life:
I did make sure that the battery is fully charged before doing this test. As anyone of you might have, I was actively using the device, testing all the features, playing around with the programs, playing some videos and stuff with the wireless & bluetooth powered on at highest brightness possible and volume. Guess what: it lasted for about 2 hours and 12 minutes. I did get warnings when the battery reached the 10% but it lasted for about 16 minutes after that and just hibernated on me.

Now with the wireless & bluetooth off and the other options to the power saving modes, I was able to go on an amazing 3 hours & 26 minutes of battery life. I was still using the device but not the memory hungry ones, most of the times just browsing. I would imagine that this number would vary depending on the type of application and the usage too

The Good:
Clean design, great bundle of hardware & software, GPS, Extended battery & Finger Print Reader

The Bad:
The finger print reader keeps prompting even if you touched it by mistake (and believe me it’s hard not to touch it, because of it placement). Not for those who think this is going to replace their main PC (this being Celeron M 900 MHz)

Beautiful :)
GPS is definitely going to be mainstream VERY SOON.
with indo-russian developed glonass "millitary/corporate-bill passed this october tht it will be exclusively for india and russia codeveloped means indian satellite and russian launch vehicle", indian Gagan for civil, and access to EU's galilio, india will have best options than any country in this world.

While other country other than Us will be using GPS that is shared by 10 or more India and russia will exclusively use their pvt ones.
EU Galilio > India,China,EU "EU will be boss"
American navster > Japan/Israel/US "US will be boss"
Glonass> India/Russia "Both will be boss and have access"
