Posted by Addy Dugdale at 11:12 PM on November 19, 2007
Information about Asus's new UMPC, the R50A, is out and about. And, if you like these kind of things, the chunky handheld with a 4.8-inch, 1024 x 600 screen boasts both 3 and 3.5G connectivity. And that's not all:
There's built-in GPS, a TV tuner, a webcam and microphone. No prices or release date yet, but expect to see and hear more at the electronic love-fest that is CES in January next year. [JKK Mobile via Engadget]

Wow that's slick.
I'd also like to see some battery data.

@Tommo_UK:
Yeah, if you're surfing the web, navigating via GPS, watching TV, and video chatting with a friend, you're probably right.

Pointless... I bet the battery lasts about an hour under normal use.

wonderful.
now it just needs a NON-CELERON processor and I'm up for it. The R2H is amazing right now!
Although a 4,8" screen is very small!
