At WinHEC 2002 in Taipei this week VIA showcased a new version of its ultra-portable PC aka Tablet PC. This is the second solution of the kind offered by VIA. The first one was announced last November and hasn’t yet become very widely spread.

The new version of the ultra-portable PC from VIA doesn’t differ too much form the old one. Actually, the only difference is the memory used (DDR SDRAM instead of SDRAM) and the implemented USB 2.0 support (VIA VT6202 chip). Of course, new memory required new chipset, though there is no clarity about it. As the press-release says that the new VIA Tablet PC is built on VIA Apollo Pro266T chipset, though I can’t quite make out where the integrated graphics then is. The tablet cannot do without it and the Apollo Pro266T chipset never had an integrated graphics core (the old tablet version was based on VIA ProSavage PN133T). As I understood it, they meant VIA ProSavageDDR PN266T, though no mention of it is present in the press-release.

All other specs of the device remained unchanged: 10.4-inch electro-magnetic sensor screen with handwrite input, C3 EBGA processor (Eden ESP also possible), IEEE1394 support (VIA Fire II VT6306 chip), 802.11b (wireless network), and 10/100 Ethernet (VIA Tahoe VT6103 chip). The device works under Microsoft Windows XP Tablet PC Edition.
