CNET published a Worst tech of 2006 (so far) listing that mentioned two products that some of us are near and dear to (or will be).

The Nokia 770 Internet Tablet clocked in at #9 as their “Worst-rated product that CNET readers love”. Ouch.

The Microsoft Origami/Ultra Mobile PC project was listed as their “Worst-kept secret” at #3.

The TabletKiosk V-700 is dead, long live the TabletKiosk eo V7110. Guess what? This Via-powered Ultra Mobile PC is going to ship in the last week of April. 2006 no less. You can read the press release here. It has an optional extended battery to get you up to four hours of battery life, and with the cradle, you can have an extended/dual display setup.

$899 gets you the standard TabletKiosk eo V7110 in black or white, with 256MB of memory and a 30GB harddrive. $999 gets that memory bumped up to 512MB and the harddrive up to 40GB.

Looks like this could be the first one out of the door and in the hands of the average Joe.j

Another new Ultra Mobile PC (UMPC), this time from Daewoo in Korea. It’s the Lucoms, and it’s based on the Founder MiniNote and so the specs are virtually identical - 30 - 60GB harddrive, 900MHz Pentium M or Celeron M (probably Celeron M), and 512MB of memory. No other specifications are known at this time.
