Asus' Ultra Mobile PC claims to offer the functionality of a conventional laptop and the user-friendliness of touch panel input on an intelligent digital writing pad.
Asus has launched its latest Ultra Mobile PC R2E in the Indian market. Claiming to offer the functionality of a conventional laptop and the user-friendliness of touch panel input on an intelligent digital writing pad, R2E is about the size of a paperback novel.
With its 7-inch LCD screen, the R2E features built-in GPS offering turn-by-turn navigation. It packs in multimedia features such as live TV, with external antenna and remote controller, plus a SunRead glare-proof panel for clear view in bright sunlight.
Specifications
CPU: Intel Stealey A110 (800MHz)
LCD: 7" WVGA (Touch Panel) (Sun Readable)
VGA: Intel 945GU
Web Cam: 1.3 M Camera
Operating System: Genuine Windows Vista Premium
Memory: 1 GB DDR II (1GBx1)
HDD: 100G PATA
Card Reader & Other features: FP Reader + GPS (WO/Map)
Free Accessories: USB Keyboard + Car Charger + Link Cable + Car Bag
For business users, the R2E promises total data protection that meets the evolving security needs with both software and hardware solutions. It has a built-in AuthenTec fingerprint scanner with TruePrint technology that reads from the live layer of skin, preventing common skin surface conditions from impairing scanner accuracy. Also, it embeds TPM, a hardware solution that helps to avoid attacks by hackers looking to capture passwords and encryption keys to sensitive data.
The R2E is packed with computing, multimedia and connectivity functions. Built-in Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR (Enhanced Data Rate), Wireless LAN 802.11 a/b/g and a high-resolution webcam offer extensive high-speed connections and wire-free video communication. It runs on Genuine Windows Vista Edition with Microsoft Origami Experience Pack software and ergonomic hardware interface designs.
For handwritten input capability, the new UMPC offers InfoPen software that enables users to record and edit images or documents, while the DigiPen stylus offers an eraser end and mouse control buttons for navigating applications single-handedly. In addition, it features function keys laid on both sides of the front panel.
The R2E notebook comes bundled with a USB keyboard Rashi Peripherals and Net Place Technologies for an approximate price of Rs 64,900.

"approximate price of Rs 64,900" have they gone mad?? In the age of ultracheap netbooks who will buy a useless 7"junk for Rs.64,900?? India surely is becoming the dumping ground for old and obsolate hardware. Intel Stealey A110 and Intel 945GU are anything 'new' ??? We must expect a more responsible article from Techtree.

for a quarter of this price (17k-20k) you can get an ipod-touch. I dont see any sane person buying this. This price is insane that too for a broken OS which is totally unfit for this hardware. It is not even an intel atom!!!

This Rs 64,900 (USD 1510) is much costlier as compared to Samsung ultra Q1 (apprx 1000USD)? The specs on samsung ultra Q1 is fare much good as compared to this Asus R2E? India is only place where we still get either 1 or 2 yrs old gadgets at costly rate!

Though sounds good for MOMs(managers on move), the price does not justifies for a 800 MHz speed, are they doing marketing in 1990s where 800 Mhz was a God's gift. Forget the size !. Only intresting feature is SUN proof read.
