EB (formerly known as Elektrobit) have launched a new UMPC hardware platform that is one of the first to be built around the Intel Menlow platform. The device will run Linux (presumably one of the distributions that comes out of the Intel MIDIA project) and will contain advanced communication hardware such as Mobile WiMax and HSDPA. GPS will also be thrown in. It has a 4.8″ ‘high resolution’ screen.

Menlow is the 2008 platform for UMPCs that will use a processor called Silverthorne and a chipset called Poulsbo. It will be the first silicon platform developed purely for the UMPC.
