Latest reports suggest that the HP UMPC 2133 will feature VIA Inside, not Intel’s Penryn as previous reports were saying. If this is true, than it’s incredible news for VIA because this is the first time they could succeed with one of the big companies. The good news don’t stop here. It seems like the ultra portable could get an upgrade consisting of Isaiah 2.0Ghz/DX-10 performance. The HP 2133 has been a very popular device but more is expected from the device. We hope to get back to this soon …

HP seems to have dropped an information about an upcoming UMPC release, but they haven’t offered any details, like specifications, date or price. Probably it will be released at the end of Q2, but nothing’s sure. The UMPC is going to be handphone-like and it will see a major improvement in battery life and is headed both to youths and professionals.
If the news are true, we might get more details along with an official announcement soon.
