Wibrain B1H

Wibrain B1H
WiBrain B1H Angle Stylus

REVIEW

Korea produces some of the best high-tech gadgets in the world that—for many reasons—never reach American soil. Fortunately, Dynamism, a third-party gadget e-tailer that specializes in selling gadgets from overseas in the U.S., is currently selling a Korean Ultra-Mobile PC (UMPC) tablet called the Wibrain B1H. No, it's not a Nintendo Wii accessory, and it has no connection to the Wii. Rather, it's a handheld PC the size of a Sony PSP that runs a full-blown version of Windows XP Professional. Although the integrated split keyboard and $799 (direct) price tag work in its favor, the B1H enters a market flooded with better and more affordable UMPCs.
