We’ve been seeing in the wild shots of E-Lead’s Noahpad for months on end, but on some fateful trunk lid likely to be halfway across the planet, this undeniably peculiar UMPC has finally arrived to an end user. Oddly enough, said user couldn’t even wait to get the thing inside, and as you […]

The Kira 100 was a decent Eee PC knockoff, but at just north of $475, there was literally no purpose in picking it over the genuine product. The Jointech JL7100, however, really makes ASUS’ darling look mighty unnecessary. Okay, so maybe the fact that this thing relies on WinCE 5.0 rather than, you […]
