Tatung to produce a UMPC-like WM5 PDA [Fri Dec 29, 04:01PM]

A couple of weeks ago HTC announced a UMPC-like PDA, the Athena. Judging from these photo's Tatung is preparing a Windows Mobile 'UMPC' of its own.

They’re causing some arguments in the blogosphere, these WM5 devices. Yes, they’re not officially Ultra-Mobile PCs in the Microsoft sense of the name, since they don’t run the Tablet PC operating system, but while that limits their functionality in one sense it does mean that the extended battery life and “instant on” functionality is carried over from the Mobile OS.

Not much information beyond the manufacturer, Tatung, so the photos will have to satisfy us until CES.
