The leaked manual for the Samsung SPH-P9200 revealed the full specifications of this ultra-mobile PC device. The UMPC features a 5-inch 800×480 touch-sensitive display, a folding keyboard, a Via C7-M processor at 1GHz, 512MB of RAM, and a 30GB hard drive, and supports Wifi, Wibro and HSDPA networks, according to the manual.
In January 2007 Samsung showed the SPH-P9000 UMPC device which features Mobile WiMAX technology, at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2007 in Las Vegas. Samsung SPH-P9000 also incorporates Windows XP operating system, and full QWERTY keyboard, 30GB hard disk, 256MB RAM, a 1GHz CPU and 1.3 megapixel camera, as same as CDMA EV-DO network capability. All the SPH-P9000 features are packed into a compact 5.6” X 3.7” X 1.17” UMPC’s size with a 5” display. The device weights 1.28 lbs.
The 1.43-pound SPH-P9200, also known as the Deluxe MIT SPH-P9200, provides 2-2.5 hours of run time with a standard battery, and up to 5 hours with an extended battery unit. It features a 1.3 megapixel camera, a port replicator (2xUSB, power, LAN, VGA), and a 15-pin accessory port with an unclear function, as well as an optical joystick with mouse buttons. According to specifications, the SPH-P9200 UMPC hasn’t any Bluetooth module.
“While Samsung had previously showcased its Mobile WiMAX technology at several events, the demonstration at CES is significant because it is the first showcase in the US since Samsung and Sprint-Nextel agreed last August to work together on the major US carrier’s 4G wireless broadband initiative, which will adopt the Mobile WiMAX (IEEE 802.16e TDD OFDMA) technology standard,” the company said. Currently, there is no information on international availability and price of this innovative UMPC.
