Kohjinsha SA Driver Updates

Kohjinsha have released some updated divers for the SA1 series. I have tried the video driver, to see if it improved the screen sharpness at resolutions above 800x480, but alas the screen image is still to blurred for me. I have not tried the other drivers, but here are the links.

Cathena CX FCC Approaved or Not?

I have been looking through the FCC database and can find no reference to the Cathena CX from Data Evolution, so has this unit been FCC approved? If this unit does get FCC approval then it should also pass the European CE certification, which will be good for all those in Europe that would like to buy a Kohji but want to buy in their own country with support and warranty, and not have to import from outside Europe.

If anyone from Data Evolution, Kohjinsha or Inventec are reading this blog please post your comments on the certification issue.

Kohjinsha SA1F00V and SA1F00W Delays

I'm not sure why, but Kohjinsha have delayed the release of the SA1F00V and SA1F00W until the 5th May. The original release date was the 28th April, which was when all orders were to be shipped, but some unknown reason it has put back a week.

Kohjinsha Popularity

Just how popular is the Kohjinsha SA1 series UMPC? Since the 9th of April 2007 this blog has had over 800 visits. Looking at the map below it is clear that there is a lot of interest in the Kohjinsha from Europe and the US, so looks like Data Evalution could be on to a winner with their fully certified Cathena.
