Remember Amtek's Vistagami UMPC? You know, the guys who called Mark fat? We've got specs for their UMPC now.

The Vista-capable portable is running off of a 1.2GHz VIA CPU, coming with a 1GB max drive, a 2.5-inch 40GB hard drive, 7-inch 800x480 screen, Wi-Fi, a 1.3-megapixel camera, Bluetooth 2.0, two USB ports, and an SD card. All this adds up to a 4-hour battery life and a pretty decent Vista tablet/UMPC for non-chubsters. – Jason Chen

Vistagami All Grown Up and Ready for CES?

We've known about Microsoft's Vistagami project since May. Vistagami is essentially their second attempt at an Ultra Mobile PC (UMPC). The newer Vistagamis are supposed to have slide out keyboards, better battery life, and cheaper price tags. Also, as their name suggests, they'll be running Windows Vista. Well, word has it MS will be showing off these new UMPCs at next month's CES show. The question is, will anyone care? We've trounced a good number of UMPCs before, so we'll be just as critical on these new Vistagamis. Stay tuned. – Louis Ramirez

Next for Origami: "Vistagami"

It appears the Redmondians don't know when to give up, continuing to kick the overpriced and underpowered dead horse they call Origami. Now we're hearing that within the company, Microsoft is calling the next iteration of the Origami ultra-mobile PC (UMPC) platform that will run the upcoming Windows Vista operating system "Vistagami."

The graphics requirements are considerably more demanding for Microsoft Vista, so what was once overpriced (Samsung's Q1 pictured here starts at $1100) will probably now be headed for the pricing stratosphere, even with a dumbed-down version of Vista. We're thinking that if they can slim down the price of one of these "Vistagami" tablet PCs to the originally-stated $500, this might be something that could actually be useful. Fat chance. – Charlie White
