After reading about this UMPC H-9 here , I sent an email to ' BPETD Co. ', asking them about it. The following is the quote from their reply :

>Thank you very much for your inquiry for our UMPC, Model H9.
>The price of the product, based on 500 pcs, is USD490.00, fob Shenzhen.
>If you only need one, price should not be lower than USD 800.00



>As you know, the Chinese New Year is coming near, we will start our the
>longest holiday right now.
>That's to say, if you need one sample, we will prepare one for you after
>the new year holiday.
>For more product information, please visit our website:
>www.porient.com

>Your kind attention and prompt reply will be highly appreciated.
>
>Happy the Chinese New Year !
>
>Thanks & Regards,

This makes me think that after creating such a UMPC, they are trying to make a quick buck off of the people who may think about getting one such Device.
