The Willcom D4 UMPC has a similar design as HTC Tytn II (HTC Kaiser), which comes with a QWERTY keyboard and movable display screen.

Loaded with Windows Vista, the Willcom D4 by Sharp has a big 5-inch display screen. Although you are getting a 1024 x 600 pixel in resolution, the TFT screen is only giving you a poor 256k colors. Willcom will be the first company marketing the UMPC with the new Intel Centrino Atom processor. Their first device Willcom D4 will be powered by a 1.33GHz Atom Z520 processor.

At 470 grams and a body size of 192.3×84×25.9mm, the UMPC has integrated the Willcom’s W-Sim card so that you can make/receive phone calls and connect to wireless data connection. A seperate bluetooth handset is sold seperately to let you answering calls easily while keeping the UMPC in your bag. You can expand the memory storage space by adding a microSD card, but I bet the built in 40GB hard drive will be enough for most of the people. When available, the UMPC is expected to be sold at around $900 usd.
