BenQ to release UMPC

BenQ looks set to join the UMPC fray by releasing its very own ultra mobile PC before 2007 is over, if word from market sources are correct. Any UMPC release won’t cannibalize BenQ’s existing line of Joybook notebooks, but rather, complement it. Other than that, there is no further word on the specifications that we gadgetheads clamor for all the time. In other news, you can bank on BenQ to release more smartphones and UMA-compliant dual-mode handsets in Q3 this year as well.
