China-based Owl Co. is so intent on making sure that we know its new handheld is a "real computer" and not just a PDA that it's named the product line iMpc, meaning "I am a computer" (seriously). The confirmation doesn't do any harm, of course, but one look at the specs makes the unit's identity as a full-fledged UMPC pretty undeniable.
The first device in the iMpc series is the A10, which has the following specs:
| CPU: |
1.2GHz VIA C7 |
| RAM: | 1GB DDR2 |
| OS: | Windows XP Home |
| Storage: | 16GB SSD with SD/MMC card slot |
| Display: | 5.6" TFT touchscreen (800 x 480) |
| Wireless: | 802.11b/g |
| Interfaces: | 2 USB 2.0 ports, VGA, ethernet, headphone, microphone, speaker, optical mouse, power |
| Camera: | 2 megapixels (front-facing) |
| Size: | 5.9" x 3.7" x 0.9" |
| Weight: | 12.3 ounces |
| Battery: | 4800mAh, runtime up to 5 hours |
Pretty good on its own, if you ask me, but what makes it even better is the price: the iMpc A10 retails for just 2999 yuan (~$438). It's available right now for bulk orders (100 pieces) on Alibaba, which unfortunately is probably the only way anyone outside of China stands a chance of getting one.
