Seamless Corporation has made available their own netbook, which was being promoted by Tyra Banks. There is nothing so special in specifications and it looks like those cheap netbooks in the market. Although, one thing that makes it little different from the inside is the processor that it uses. It uses the VIA C7-M 1.6GHz Processor instead of the usual Intel Atom that is being used by almost all the modern netbooks.
Specifications:
UMID M1 has finally been launched in Korea. This tiny 4.8-inch little monster runs on Intel Atom processor and promises a whoping 6 hours battery life, which should be enough for a full day use. However, due to its small size, do not even think about writing a novel on this small device. According to slashgear, the keyboard is surprisingly nice for thumb-typing.
The base model starts at $465 and goes upto $532 for high end model.
Here is the thumb-typing demo:

HTC has confirmed via their Twitter feed that they will making available the HTC TOUCH PRO 2 in every country.
“To answer the big question on everyone’s minds, the Touch Pro2 will be broadly available in all major markets, including North America. We have not announced a launch date for the Touch Pro2 in any country yet. But we did announce we will start to roll it out late Q2. “
This means that unlike Touch HD, which did not make it to the US, the Touch Pro 2 will debut in US around the time it debuts in other parts of the world

The HTC TOUCH DIAMOND 2 was launched last week at MWC 2009. The DIAMOND 2 is an update to original Diamond. One of the most obvious improvements that the Diamond 2 brings over the Diamond-1 is the bigger and higher resolution screen. The screen is now WVGA as you can easily make out from the following screenshot.
The higher resolution enables you to see more than the normal VGA screen of Diamond-1.
Like the TOUCH HD, which also sports the same resolution, it also shows weather data of the coming days on the same screen.
Stock tab is the new tab which was not there in the Diamond-1. It basically shows the stock information like their current price and whether there is a increase or decrease in its value.
The calender tab is a much welcomed addition to the Touch Flo interface. It looks nice and works great too. A nice update for those who just got tired of the built-in calender.
Another improvement is the updated SIP (soft input panel).
Calculator has also been a given a nice facelift.
Commentary: Although the Touch Diamond 2 still uses the Windows Mobile 6.1, HTC has (again) done a commendable job of giving Windows Mobile a new look. Quite a lot of improvements in terms of usage and functionality can easily be seen and observed. It is also nice to know that the HTC has promised a Windows Mobile 6.5 upgrade to the Diamond-2 users.
