The UMPC product portal gets many daily updates, tweaks and enhancements but yesterday, we finished setting up a really useful UMPC product tracking feature thats worth posting about.

Using a normal RSS 2.0 feed reader, you can now subscribe to updates from all or any of the products in the UMPC product database. Currently, the feed includes reviews, comment, rumor, pricing and availbility links that we add into add the product datasheet from our hand-picked sources. (Many of these are in our link list.) Soon it will be enhanced to include manufacturers pricing and availability information. All links are reviewed and only added if relevant so you can be sure of a quality (although possibly not the fastest-available) feed.

The all-product RSS feed is available via Feedburner. Go to the product pages to see the individual product RSS feed links. It looks stable from here but if you see any issues, let us know.

If you have important product-related links that you think should have been published (give us 48hours to capture new links) or you run a good source of information that you think we should be tracking or adding to our link list contact us and we’ll do our best. email to productupdates@carrypad.com
Links and sites need to be relevant to the UMPC market which we, at Carrypad, define as a portable computer at 1kilo or less with a screen size between 5″ and 10″. There are of course exceptions to this rule. One of which could be the Sharp Zaurus CL3200 which is now being imported into Europe. We’ll be reviewing this device in the next week or so to find out if it’s worthy of going into the product database!
