It\'s is possible that the information within this article is now out of date or updated.

Here are two videos I found of the WILLCOM D4 made by Sharp and already being sold in Japan.


Docking Station

This UMPC comes loaded with a Atom Centrino 1.3 GHz processor and 1 GB of RAM. That’s what I would call the minimum requirement to run Vista and that’s the OS that  Sharp has put in these devices.

I don’t know if Sharp is planning to sell it in USA or Europe but if you want to buy it you can do that at Direct from Japan, a specialized on line store in Japanese electronics.

    i think lap tops are not as good because they do not have as many gigs
  • cameron
    thanks

    Fully agree with you in both points. I do not use my laptop anymore.

    ctitanic... that's a big "if" for a specialty device like that.

    In response to Neil's comment, I can testify that I have a Gigabyte U60, and love it! Great for internet surfing, reading, and watching videos anywhere you like, and a sufficiently usable keyboard that I can deal with emails and minor documents. All my accounting is easily done on it as well.

    Don't knock these devices until you've given them a chance, Neil. In my opinion, they eliminate the need for a laptop.

    gylman if you can find the drivers there is nothing that stops you from using XP in one of this.

    Neil, have your ever used an UMPC?
    I have been using them for 2 years creating all kind of content including Visual Basic code and they are to me the best and more productive gadget I have ever owned. there is nothing like to have your Home PC with you at any time. Sure you can use a laptop but they are heavy and huge.

    Having a full desktop interface on devices this small just seem pointless and clunky to me. To me you need a more streamlined interface to make devices this small truly useful and not just something to showoff to friends.

    That being said the device itself looks really good.

    Another nice looking device that I would have considered getting, if I could get it with XP. Vista, though, kills the deal.
