Jeremy caught this one on the Register’s Hardware site. It looks absolutely gorgeous.

T-Mobile UK prices up Ameo UMPC-style communicator | Reg Hardware
3G UMTS/HSDPA machine with a QWERTY keyboard; 5in, 640 x 480, 65,536-colour screen; 8GB hard drive; 128MB of memory; Bluetooth 2.0; 802.11b/g Wi-Fi; three-megapixel camera; and an SDHC-compatible memory card slot. It runs Windows Mobile 5.
All of this comes in a 13.3 x 9.8 x 1.6cm, 355g unit that has battery capacity sufficient for 6.5 hours’ talk time and 300 hours in stand-by mode, according to T-Mobile.
This is exactly the sort of good looking Windows Mobile device that I’ve always wanted to see in production.
Will it be any good? Or will it be hobbled by a sluggish, shitty operating system? Gahhhhhh. I really would like to get hold of one to see. I don’t think I’ll take out an 18-month price plan to find check.
An 8 gig hard disk? Very cool.
3 megapixel camera? I’m interested. Hmm.
Available to order right now on T-Mobile UK? Yes, very interesting…
Maybe. Just maybe, I could be seduced by a T-Mobile sales person and upgraded to one of these…
Was seduced by the good looks of the Vario II and it’s well documented just how much I hate it. This is definately a looker, but I doubt if I could ever contemplate another Windows device no matter how cool it looked. You have been warned Ewan…..

Just received my Ameo yesterda – Wow, wow wow!
Mind you, now I’m trying to figure out how to use it as a phone! If only t-mobile had a proper multi-sim solution 🙁
