Kohjinsha's new L and V-series UMPCs get GPS, higher screen resolutions

[wraggster]

Kohjinsha's UMPCs might have gotten a little overshadowed by the Eee, but the company is making a renewed push with two new models. The new L series replaces the SA series, retaining the aging AMD Geode chipset but upgrading the keyboard and bumping the touchscreen resolution to 1024x600, while the V series replaces the K series, keeping the Intel A110 chipset but adding GPS and a 7-inch optical drive. Both models should be shipping in the middle of the month, but there's no word on pricing -- we'll let you know if we hear any numbers at CES.

Looks interesting, but if it still isn't anywhere near the Eee price, I'll probably pass on it at the moment. Last I checked, the older models were $1800+ USD.
