Navigating the hidden halls of the Hilton, you can find some pretty cool/weird/boring tech that is eagerly waiting for a retailer to order and distribute.
We found this little UMPC gem "Vistagami" running Windows Vista with the Origami Experience Pack (we think). This prototype was a little rough around the edges, with a joystick that clicked like an NES controller, and a bit of delay when navigating the video menus. But, the touchscreen was clear, responsive and running Windows Freakin' Vista.
The Vistagami goes in to production this May and will retail for around $900.
p.s. The Amtek people called Mark fat in Chinese.

Don't suppose you know any of the specs on that? Because $900 for a UMPC seems way too good for it to be anything other than total crap.
It needs a design makeover (it looks like My First PC), and maybe lose a little real estate around the screen. Other than that it looks like about the size I always hoped for in a UMPC.
P.S. Jason never translates for you until he updates your posts after the fact.
P.S.S. Amtek is an evil company: don't buy their products.
That's some pretty high-tech signage going on there.
Macdeth,
If I told you about some of the meetings I've attended about show signage and display materials you'd laugh.
Obviously they're putting the money into the product and letting IT do the talking.
Fortune favors the bold?
Damn macdeth, you beat me to it.
That sign's hilarious.
It looks like the prototype for the next phase of OLPC... To be called OUMPCPC.
hehe they called him fat in chinese?
hahaha
