I know that many of our readers are from Europe. So here is a good news for them. If you are thinking about buying a Amtek u560 (price in dollars). (Affiliated Link), that’s the little guy in the right picture, todoUMPC online store is selling it in the next 24 hours for 100 Euros less than the normal price of 597 Euros, that’s 497 Euros or 805.5 dollars (forget about the prices with taxes if you are not in Spain). I just spoke to the guys at the store and they ship the Amtek u560 to anywhere in the world. The operating system on these units is in English.

For some reason my RSS feed from UMPCPortal is not working any more and as result I missed this wonderful review shot and written by Steve “Chippy”
This is the first time I’ve used XP on a Stealey CPU for any length of time and I have to say that, in combination with the GMA950 it’s a great performer. Not as fast as my Q1P but faster than the 1.2Ghz WiBrain I’m also testing at the moment. In terms of video playback performance I was incredibly impressed…and then I noticed that the device was in 600Mhz battery saving mode. When I switched it into full-power mode, increasing the cpu speed by 30%, it was really impressive and handled about every video I threw at it. Right up to a 7Mbps WMV HD video. Even games were running well. Call of Duty (see video) a demo installed on the test device, worked impressively smoothly. Take a look at the videos below which were done with the device locked at 600Mhz.
