UMPC for something other than surfing
The first thing most of us will do, when we recieve our shiny new UMPC, is connect to our favorite flavor of 802.11 and go for a surf. What I came across two days ago prepared me for something else.
I was recently contacted by Gilad Grinbaum of G Innovations; I found his enthusiasm infectious and contagious enough to get me in the car and drive to the centre of Sydney. At his office I was greeted by fists full of cables, PCB, cameras, touchscreens and more – my type of place.
We spent a few hours together while he presented me with the world’s first IP (Internet Protocol) based home automation system, dubbed the Superna System. I was immediately impressed with the ease of use and fascinated with the implications for our space, Tablet PC.
Superna is the brainchild of Arik Vardi (one of the 4 who set up ICQ) and his brother Oded. They’ve put together an exquisite software package that enables the most flexible form of home automation I’ve ever experienced. When coupled with the Superna Controller (hardware that makes the cogs turn) it is an outstanding example of things to come.
Why phone me? I was contacted because it seems Superna sees UMPC as a vital player in the home automation space; I can confirm that they’ve placed orders for “eo” devices and are working on adjusting their software to suit 800x480.
The following video is a short demonstration (adhoc, as I would have liked another take but had no time) of Ultra Mobile PC as a device for something other than surfing the internet. I decided to post the video because I'd like to see other bloggers post about Ultra Mobile PC as a functional device, not just a cool one.
For your enjoyment download video here!
Or watch it on YouTube.com!
- Obviously I still do not have an Ultra Mobile PC so I used the UMPC Display Emulator for this display.
- I recently used the emultaor in this video and this one.
- The eo UMPC is available in Australia and New Zealand via Tegatech Australia, a Tablet PC specialist.

Hugo, you are nominate by me for the next year Oscars in the UMPC category!

Hugo,
First! Great job
Do you mind if i grab the video and post it on You tube or Google, well you could done that but is there any specific reason for not doing it.
Hey CTitanic,
LOL...
Hey Joe,
Done - one thing you'll learn about this blog is that when the rest of the world is in bed Australia is awake, and vice versa. I finshed the video late at night so that you could wake up to it... now on YouTube.com
Hugo, good to see another Aussie discussing the UMPC. I'm from the Gold Coast and came across your site via UMPC Buzz.
Once manufacturers double the battery life and halve the price I'll grab a UMPC. My only concern then will be (1) will there be integrated 3G network adapters in the devices? and (2) will the cost of accessing the 3G network in Australia come down?
My personal opinion is that these devices aren't 'Ultra Mobile' if they're not always connected (to the internet). What are your thoughts?
G'day Steven,
I concur on most fronts. If they were half the price, 3G enabled and double the battery life then are we not offering the public a "no brainer." What I struggle with is adoption.
Adoption plays a huge role in whether or not vendors will double battery life, 3G enable and so on. If the numbers are promising enough then they'll have no choice but to go down the path we're all touting.
I've ordered a white eo for me and will dub it the "nearly Ultra Mobile PC" if you like...
Thanks for visiting the blog, hope to see you soon. I'll be at MEDC Melbourne this year if you, or anyone, wants to catch up.
Hugo
Well done mate!
The Likekludger spin
Hehe
Dave
I was you joking pal! check this link. You have been nominated two times! :D
I've ordered a white eo for me and will dub it the "nearly Ultra Mobile PC" if you like...
I can't believe that! I ordered that too, now we are going to be two posting pictures and videos of white eos. :) I thought that you was going to order a tangerine one! :D
Jesus, what is going with me?
I was you joking pal means I was not jocking pal
Excuse my broken English! :D
Thanks Hugo - you da man!
Hi Ctitanic,
NP When I get excited my English gets very broken!!!
Cheers Joe...
Hi David,
Your post is amazing. Please let me know anytime you've had a Tablet related brainstorm as your feedback is worth passing on.
"Horizontal Computing," wow, I mean that's the reason I need to keep you involved. With this sort of perspective we'll stretch what it is that these devices are trying to do and get vendors to pay attention.
Right know design takes into account 2 arms, 2 legs and lots of motion. If they were to look at it through you eyes then the experience would be better for you, but ironically it would imrpove for us all!!!
Good job star
