Seamless Internet S-XGen UMPC

Debuting at the Consumer Electronics Show 2007, the S-XGen from Seamless Internet looks to usher in the latest generation of UMPC devices. With the S-XGen Seamless is attempting to resolve 2 main complaints against UMPC handhelds: battery life and 'dumb thumb' that is, typing with your thumbs is a lot more difficult than with your fingers.

The S-XGen comes with 8 hours of battery life which puts it in the top of the UMPC pile. There's also a full QWERTY folding keyboard that lets you type like normal.

The technical specifications are suitably impressive for this class. Microsoft's Mobile operating system, and office suite come preinstalled on purchase. Hardware wise the notable specs are 256MB of RAM, and 20GB hard drive. The S-XGen is able to communicate through WiFi, or through cellular networks, as well as wired ethernet connections.
