Top 6 Ultra-Mobile PC

1. Asus EeePC4G Bring to market first UMPC, the Asus EeePC 4G made many waves. With 2.2 kg, this ultra-extreme running a customized version of Xandros Linux, with 4 GB of storage space, a spectacular selection of software preinstalled.
2. Asus EeePC 900 Since the second iteration of the EeePC 4G EeePC 900 price is about $ 550. You will also receive 16-gigabyte SSD drive, a much larger 8.9-inch and 1 GB of RAM.
3. HP 2133 Mini-NotePC The closest competitor to ASUS for HP. They came with the HP 2133 Mini-Note PC, which costs about $ 750 per hectare a ton of features, multiple configurations, full keyboard, aluminum alloy and the surface of a fine. It comes with Linux operating system and versions of Windows Vista and loaded 120GB hard drive.
4. Fujitsu LifeBook U810 Ok, in terms of price, Fujitsu LifeBook U810 is one of the most expensive cars in this list. However, there is a strong and specificIt also allows you to write your thumb or typing on a mini-keyboard.
5. Wibrain B1H Although a very good response to the new market UMPC, Wibrain B1H not quite up to snuff in comparison with models from Asus and HP. However, this UMPC is their salvation. There is a split QWERTY keyboard, open before installing Windows Vista, which wrapped all in a very sexy and elegant design.
6. Raon Digital Everun L30H Perhaps you've heardthat mark, but not bad UMPC. You will receive a low-powered AMD components that are normal decent mobile computing. And price-wise, it's hard to beat, with some configurations are $ 499 for the lowest.
Conclusion I hope this article has shown, top 6 Ultra-Mobile PC market. UMPC in the market is still very young, so do not expect many more models will be pulled out for Asian manufacturers and the United States in the near future. If you really want to get my hands on a rightNow, go to the Asus EeePC 900 or HP 2133 Mini-Note PC. If we can afford to wait a minute, watch this space later this year, when he died came from new models.

Qualcomm’s Snapdragon: The fastest mobile core

Qualcomm is enabling new generations of devices that will take the mobile computing experience beyond anything that has been possible before:
All-in-One Pocketable DevicesThe new generation of all-in-one Pocketable Computing Devices (PCDs) combines communication, entertainment and navigation, coupled with full Web browsing on a 4” display. Add a docking station to link to printers, external keyboards, monitors and other peripherals.
Mobile Computing DevicesMobile Computing Devices (MCDs) offer a revolution in computing and communications in a thin and light form factor with a 7-12” display and full keyboard. MCDs are perfect for viewing movies and maps, or editing spreadsheets and documents while also having access to full Internet browsing and social networking. Dual-mode MCDs allow for notebook and tablet/reading mode to further improve the user experience.
The Toshiba TG01 is the first device implementing this processor. Many critics might think that the difference between a 600MHt and a 1GHz core cannot be that big, but the following video disabuses ourselves

Tracking the Value Shift in Computing
Value Shift – It’s a broad term describing a directional shift within an industry. Every industry goes through such shifts periodically. Most of the time such shifts create new challenges and new opportunities. The impact is almost always big – industries re-structure, leaders fall and new leaders are born. Value Shifts rarely occur as a result of a single phenomenon. They are more akin to little ripples that build to a tsunami.
The computing industry has seen its share of value shifts over the last 3 decades – perhaps more rapidly than any other industry. That’s what makes it so exciting! I believe that we are poised for another such shift. It’s not about the Internet, Web 2.0, SaaS or Cloud Computing – these are merely ripples at the end of the day. The emerging Value Shift is about Device Independence.
The computing industry to date has largely been dependent upon PCs. In other words, the industry’s fortunes were tied to the adoption of that one single class of device. Everything else flows from that. Microsoft made the most of it earning billions as did others – including Google. But that dependence appears to be breaking down. I am constantly intrigued by two things these days – the phenomenal success of the iPhone and the current rage in PCs – Netbooks. After all, having spent the last 20 years tracking an industry where speeds, feeds and computing power have ruled, how does one explain people (in droves) buying a lower power platform with shrunken keyboards and screens? iPhones let you view the same websites and web applications that you access from Netbooks, notebooks and desktops. The experience from a usability standpoint is different for any individual device, but you can access the same information. And it’s not limited to websites and web apps. You can use any number of free products to access your PC using an iphone (read about it here ). In other words device independence.
The “Information Fabric”
Padmasree Warrior, the CTO of Cisco puts forth a compelling prediction – the emergence of an “information fabric”. I believe it. The fabric can be defined in many ways and a many levels – from the lowest level network protocols to the highest level where information is consumed by individuals and corporations. Most importantly, the information fabric, I believe, will not limit itself to allow consumption and utilization of information by a single device or even a class of devices. Instead it will enable consumption by a whole range of devices leveraging the unique user experiences of each device.
The Ripples that Matter
It’s not difficult to see the key technologies that are driving this Shift. Of note are continued advances in virtualization and remoting where performance and user experience is improving rapidly. But also worth noting are storage technologies that are becoming common to different kinds of devices – specifically flash storage, whereas in the past application performance was somewhat dependent on type of storage used. The commonly understood technologies impacting bandwidth, throughput improvement, network capacity, data center optimization also continually push us towards device independence.
It’s All About Productivity
Ultimately the move towards device independence is about productivity resulting from the freedom to use the device that best suits the work environment at any given point is time (a smartphone, a PC, a Netbook or even a Kindle). A lot of pieces need to fall into place and getting to true device independence will take a long time but there is no doubt that the ripples that started this value shift are transforming into a Tsunami

Fighting for a slice or a sliver?
Whether or not these devices will succeed depends largely on the appetite for consumers and businesses to adopt multiple devices. Given the overlap in functionality buyers will be hard pressed to make choices about which device suits them the best. Currently smartphones and netbooks have the greatest momentum. At techaisle we believe that smartphones will win. The scenario where a smartphone such as an iPhone or an Android based phone get paired with a large screen and a keyboard is an intriguing one and could well destroy the opportunity for other types of devices. Even if that doesn’t happen, the market appears poised to fragment as more devices appear. While that may increase the size of the pie, vendors could be left fighting for slivers rather than slices.

Will Netbooks Get Squeezed Out?

One things is clear though – the traditional business computing space is not likely to be cannibalized by these devices for two reasons
1. These devices will likely be used in addition to traditional notebooks. Further these devices (netbooks excepted) will not be running Windows which is a major problem for business adoption
2. The impending release of ULVs or ultra low voltage processors will lead to lighter business PCs running industry standard OSs (Windows)

3 Steps to Successful Mobile Deployment

Have you recognised that your mobile field service & service / sales workforce is being managed inefficiently?
Have you considered developing a mobile application to automate remote data capture & collection?
Learn how you can mobilize your team through the use of mobile computing solutions:
1. "What's the number one reason a mobile project fails?"
The answers are that many companies don't put enough upfront thought into defining the requirements, scheduling testing resources and planning a deployment strategy. The results of these deficiencies are project scope creep, cost overruns, missed deadlines, poor user acceptance and sometimes even complete project failure.
2. Build a Team of Stakeholders
Mobile computing solutions usually tie into other corporate IT assets and business processes therefore impacted members of your IT department and business units need to be on the project team. In addition, representatives of your mobile field service & service / sales workforce should be included on the project team to provide valuable "real-world" insight into the mobile application development process
3. Select a Partner That Specializes in Mobile Application Development
Performing successful remote data capture and synchronization from mobile computing devices can be a challenging and complex task because of the many variables involved. To insure you get your mobile computing solution done correctly the first time, you need to work with experts in Mobile Application Development who specialize in the design, development, deployment and support of enterprise mobile computing solutions for remote data capture.

Industrial 3G / NextG SCADA Modem/Router

The Cybertec Series 2000 modem/router has been designed to provide a flexible & reliable communications platform for interfacing with both serial and Ethernet enabled devices using 3G/HSDPA cellular data networks. The Series 2000 is the solution for use in remote SCADA applications where CDMA coverage will no longer be available.
Standard on all models is two switched Ethernet ports, eliminating the need to use an external switch in many applications. The switch is fully managed and can support VLAN, & QoS functionality.
Connecting to legacy serial enabled hardware such as RTU’s & PLC’s, requiring emulation of dial-up modem type functionality remains a key application for many customers. To provide backward compatibility with existing modems serial ports can be accessed as Circuit Switched Data (Dial-Up) or as Packet Switched (IP).
Available in two versions offering up to 3 serial ports, each with flexible configuration options including support for DNP & Modbus over IP. In addition two optional DI’s & DO’s provide limited RTU type functionality.
With a robust and rugged industrial enclosure, devices can be DIN Rail or wall mounted. Power supply operates from a wide input voltage range of 10VDC to 60VDC.
Please contact Madison Technologies to discuss your application.
