Onkyo BX UMPC Unveiled
![Onkyo BX UMPC Unveiled [Onkyo UMPC Revealed, 1.2GHz Processor, Pocket Form-Factor, Expensive]](http://nexus404.com/Blog/thumbnailimages/alt/Onkyo-BX-UMPCTFTSThumb220153.jpg)
Onkyo has unleashed their new UMPC on the Japanese Public. The BX is licensed from the UMID M2 design. The BX features some nice specs (for its size) and a unique, small, form factor, but the price is steep for the little device.
UMID had just barely announced their M1 MID when it was revealed the M2 MID was already in production. The M2 design was licensed to Onkyo somewhere along the way, and was released as the Onyko BX. Features of the device include a 1.2GHz Intel Atmo processor, 512MB of RAM, a 4.8″ LCD screen, a 32GB SSD, onboard Intel graphics, WiFi, Bluetooth and a Web Cam, and all this running Windows XP SP3. Oh yeah, all this can be yours for only ¥64,800 ($729).
A device that is the price of a full-sized notebook, without 3G or a touchscreen is pretty unappealing. As some also pointed out in the tech blogosphere today – the keyboard is too small to be typed on comfortably, but too big to allow you to type with your thumbs. So far, Onkyo only plans to sell the device in Japan (it’s shipping now, for those interested). No word on a US/Euro release.
