Gigabyte U60 UMPC Suffers from Broken Keyboard Syndrome

Love it or hate it, Gigabyte's first UMPC sports a broken QWERTY keyboard design (kinda like Samsung's Q1 Ultra). Personally, I'm not a fan of the broken keyboard (they feel awkward), but then again I have big paws. The UMPC will also feature a ridiculously small touchpad (the little box below the screen on the bottom right side) and a 800x480, 6.5-inch display. All of it'll be powered by a 1GHz VIA CPU. Despite the keyboard, it's a nice debut for Gigabyte, though we would have liked it even more if it packed WWAN (it only has Wi-Fi). – Louis Ramirez

Gigabyte Prepping its First Slider UMPC with Keyboard

If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, Sony must be red in the face right about now. Looking like a bigger version of the UX390, Gigabyte will debut its first UMPC next month at CeBit. Dubbed the U60, the handheld will come with a built-in QWERTY keyboard that slides out of the main body (like the UX390). Also on board is a 6.5-inch screen, which is bigger than Sony's 4.5-inch display, but a tad smaller than the 7-inch LCD found on Asus' R2H. Pricing hasn't been set yet, though more details should arrive as the launch date nears. – Louis Ramirez
