It’s rare that a new father gets 3 days alone but next week I’m in that position and I want to make the most of it which means I’m going on tour to test some 1KG mobile computing solutions the cost under 1000 Euro. I’ll write 1000 words on each and do my best to travel 1000km. It will be fun and productive at the same time and that’s what I really really love about mobile computing.

I’ve got a device shortlist but it’s not finalized and as yet, the tour route is unknown. I’ll be planning that this week and taking into account mobile blogger meet-ups and company drop-ins.

You can read more about the details over at UMPCPortal and stay tuned here, or there, as we countdown to the start on either Saturday or Sunday and if you’re in Germany and want to meet (business or pleasure) please let me know. Sponsors are also welcome.
