i'm looking for a umpc and was wondering if anyone has any input as to which one i should get. i'm considering the raon everun, asus r2h or one from kohjinsha.

right now i'm leaning towards the everun with its price point and size, but i'm worried that it might be a bit under powered. i'm also having someone looking into whether or not i can get it with english windows in korea.

the r2h is an attractive choice but its a bigger and cost more, but it has better specs and comes with windows tablet, so i can switch it to english if its in korean.

the kohjinsha is similar to the r2h in size, spec and price, but a more conventional laptop design. but i'm not sure if i can get an english version of windows installed on it. superdave said they were willing, but also that he's been waiting a few months.

i'm just planning to use it to store/edit photos while traveling, as a music/movie player and to check email. i was planning on getting a cowon q5, but learned that the english version is not available in korea and that i would have to order it abroad and have it shipped here.

I'm using the Kohjinsha, it is a GREAT machine, and it has windows in English installed....I would highly recommend it!!

It is a great machine.

i have the kohjinsha ... but i hate the kohjinsha after service. they promised me windows in english, and 3 months later i still don't have it.

it's a great little machine. but vista is a lemon and really runs like a cow on the umpc.

i want to get xp on it, but i don't know how to do it myself ... Sad
