Seen over at Computex is the CE261 UMPC from FIC. Designed with a clamshell/laptop configuration, the large keys look like they could be very useful for some full fledged typing. At this point, the CE261 includes two USB ports, 7″ 800 x 480 resolution display (no touch screen), 0.3MP camera (probably designed with video chatting in mind), DVI output, Ethernet port, and a supposed 5 hours of battery life. One would also assume that it will include the standard among UMPCs such as Wifi, Bluetooth, and maybe some form of WWAN. However seeing as this “Travel Book” doesn’t have any touchscreen, and appears to be fairly large (compared to some other UMPCs), I’d probably put it in the very small laptop category.

Does anyone else wonder why the CE261 looks so much like this UMPC? (which you can find out more about over at Pocketables)
