On its recent press release, Asus officialy announced its first UMPC (Ultra Mobile PC) on the portfolio, the R2H. And the company was not just bringing the good news, but also a late April's fools joke as it mentioned, on the official specs of the R2H, that this device will have a whopping weighs of 580kg! Well, I'm sure we all aware that it's just a typo, so hopefully Asus would fix it as soon as possible. The R2H UMPC itself, powered by Intel Celeron M ULV (900MHz) processor, comes with an integrated GPS module and runs on Windows XP Tablet PC Edition operating system. The company first revealed the mobile PC to public at the Computex 2006 exhibition.

Currently, there are four configurations on this F2 laptop series - F2F, F2HF, F2J, and F2JE. The first two models will have Mobile Intel 945GM of 940ML Express chipset, while the other duo will incorporate Mobile Intel 945PM Express chipset.

The last mentioned feature allows users to connect to Skype and place a mobile-to-mobile, mobile-to-PC, or PC-to-mobile call anywhere in the world for the price of a local call, as long as the module is connected to a broadband connection and regular phone line.

"Once connected, MiVo monitors the Skype session and automatically forwards any incoming as well as outgoing Skype calls to any designated phone/PC, giving users the ultimate wireless freedom even away from the notebook", Asus announced.
