Usually, we refer from writing about Ultra-Mobile PCs. However, with the recently announced Everun Raon Digital, things might change a bit. And that’s not only Everun’s device packs an HSDPA radio, but because this kind of devices are getting more portable than ever.

Everun Raon Digital

In some sense, this is the new kind of UMPCs. It’s quite small and its price won’t make you break the bank. There’s the 4.8″ WVGA (800×480) touchscreen which auto-rotates as you move the screen (i.e. like the iPhone), full QWERTY keyboard, Bluetooth, WiFi and other UMPC-specific goodies. However, the best thing about this baby is its weight (460g) and the fact that it fits one hand. Plus, let’s not forget the built-in high-capacity battery, which according to the official specs could make Everun work for up to 12 hours!

I’m eagerly waiting for the first reviews to come. This kind of devices promise a lot — full blown PC which can fit the bag on your belt or even the larger pocket. If that’s not the freedom, I don’t know what it is. :)
