OCOSMOS OCS1 UMPC Coming In Spring
You all remember this awesome-looking UMPC, don’t you? It’s got some very impressive specs, not least of which is the Intel Oaktrail-based platform that drives this 5-inch UMPC. It’s screen resolution is 1024×600 – high enough to seem slightly redundant on the small 5-inch capacitive touchscreen but in today’s world, more is better. The UMPC will run on Windows 7, making it one of the smallest Windows 7 MIDs / tablets to hit the market, with, of course, the exception of the Saycool M5A which is likely leagues away from what the OCS1 can be. Of course, we can’t foget about the full sliding QWERTY keyboard which will speed up typing considerably, making this device a viable option for business power-users who need the flexibility of the Windows 7 platform. The internal SSD should also keep things snappy. To conclude: we’re damn excited, but will likely gawk at the price and then mutter something about value not being what it once was…
…oh, and these OCS1 UMPCs are scheduled for March, 2011.

[...] It’s not quite a tablet, which is why we’ve brought back the term UMPC – or Ultra Mobile Personal Computer – for EraThink’s EraPalm5. This 5-inch device resembles more Sony’s PMP than the handheld PC tablets we’re use to seeing. It comes with a slide out screen to reveal its keyboard, and has joystick buttons on either side. It’s powered by an Intel Atom Z-series processor, has a 5-inch capacitive touchscreen with a resolution of 800 x 480 and runs Windows 7 OS. It is also able to play up to 1080p HD video playback, comes with GPS, has WiFi and 3G connectivity and has an optional dock that allows for HDMI-out as well as VGA and USB capabilities. It may not be very aesthetically pleasing, but at least EraThink are erathinking outside the box in terms of tablet designs. Although their not the first to have come out with a UMPC like this (the OCOSMOS OCS1). [...]
