Amtek iTablet T221 UMPC is No Fatty

When Amtek are not taking the piss out of Gizmodo writers, they are usually busy cranking out tempting UMPCs. Their latest effort, the iTablet T221, packs in some great features, including a 12.1-inch LCD touchscreen (1024 x 768), Intel Core Duo (1.2Ghz), GMA 950 graphic chipset, 60GB HDD, 2GB RAM and supports 802.11a/b/g wireless networks.
The UMPC will run Windows Vista, but there is no pricing or shipping information at present. Naturally, we would be excited, but our morbid obesity is so severe, we can no longer sense our emotions. Yeah Amtek, we know we are fat, but even we have feelings, you know. We'll go drown our sorrows in a high sugar content soda. [Aving via Mobilewhack]

If we were to design a UMPC, making it small enough to put into our pocket is pretty much the primary feature we'd focus on. Amtek has the same idea, which is why their U560 prototype shown at Computex actually looks promising.
It's a flip-up UMPC with a full Sidekick-like (sold in AU as HipTop) QWERTY hidden underneath the closed screen. It's got an Intel 600MHz/800Mhz processor (depending on the version), a 1.3-megpaixel camera, 3600mAh battery and apparently runs Windows Vista.
There aren't very many other details, but if they can really put out this device with this form factor, we're sold.
