I was an IT journalist for some time now. Even if now I don’t do that anymore, I still have some automatisms left, like checking RSS feeds everyday. That’s how I’ve came across a MTube UMPC preview, done by someone at UltraMobileLife.

If you don’t know yet what a UMPC (Ultra Mobile PC) is look no further than Wikipedia’s page. Now, back to the preview. I know that everyone those days is trying to get their hands on hot products, pre production samples and pretty much any information that can help get some attention, but it’s supposed to be something, right.

Watch the next video and see if you manage not to get disappointed. The preview might as well be a hoax, as it doesn’t present anything. Is like showing off an iPhone without actually powering it on. It doesn’t matter what excuse you have: you’ll look dumb anyway.

The device actually looks good on paper, as you don’t find everywhere a fully fledged PC in a small case with a 2.8 inch touch screen display and a VIA 1 GHz CPU helped by 8 gigs of flash.
