According to Anders, the UMR-X10 "benefits from innovations developed for the smartphone industry," and indeed, many of the device's specifications are familiar from that context. The display uses a Marvell PXA270 processor clocked at either 312 or 520 MHz, and it includes up to 128 MB of DRAM and 512 MB of flash memory.
The company says it will build the devices (in quantities of 100 or more) to a purchaser's exact specifications, but the UMR-X10 typically includes audio capabilities, with line level I/O and amplified output (2.1 watts per channel) available via the main I/O connector.
The UMR-X10 is said to include an Intel 2700G video accelerator with 8 MB of RAM, plus MPEG acceleration. It offers 10/100 wired Ethernet, while 520 MHz configurations also include 802.11b wireless networking.

(Click to enlarge)Anders says the RoHS-compliant device comes in two slightly different form-factors. One (shown above) measures 3.4 x 3.0 inches (87 x 76 mm) and uses the edge connector for I/O; the other measures 4.3 x 3.0 inches (110 x 76 mm) and has standard I/O connectors. The latter includes Ethernet, USB host and slave ports, and an SD card reader.
Finally, several other physical configurations are possible. The larger version of the UMR-X10 is available with six mounting tabs, which offer 3.5-mm holes and increase width from 3 inches to 3.6 inches. And, for the smaller version, Anders offers a relocatable battery I/O board that not only powers the device but adds the standard I/O connectors mentioned above.
