The folks at Engadget got their hands on the new Flybook V5 and it appeasrs as if they like it! It does look nice … really nice! In part they said:

Unlike CES, there is no shortage of newly announced UMPC devices here at CeBIT. Perhaps that’s due to this being the 1st anniversary of the platform’s launch. But if you’re looking for the ultimate in QWERTY portability, then look no further than the new FlyBook V5.

This 1.2kg pup packs pretty much everything the discerning road-warrior could want: 1.06GHz Intel Core Duo ULV U2400 processor; up to 2GB of DDR2 memory; Intel 945GM graphics; 8.9-inch, 32-bit color, 1024 x 600 (WXGA) touchscreen display which works with the touch of a finger or included stylus in both landscape and portrait (tablet) modes; 40GB hard disk; 1.3 megapixel swivelling camera built-in to the bezel; Gigabit LAN; stereo speaker; and fingerprint reader.

It also brings a reasonable mix of expansion which includes Express card, 2x USB 2.0, and TV-out. The best part, however, is the number of radios packed into this ultraportable.
