ASUS have unveiled two HSDPA-equipped UMPCs at CeBIT 2008 today, and we were down on the show floor to snap some photos of the Windows Vista powered devices.  The R70, shown here, has a 1.6GHz processor, GPS, 3.5G radio and is rumored to pack a 120GB hard-drive; meanwhile, the R50 (shown after the cut) is a smaller UMPC with Intel’s 1.33GHz Silverthorne CPU, 1GB of RAM, a 32GB SSD, Bluetooth 2.0, WiFi b/g, HSDPA, GPS and front and rear cameras.

Unlike Samsung’s Q1 Ultra, neither ASUS device has a full QWERTY keyboard; instead they rely on navigation via the touchscreen.  The R70 also has a trackball and dedicated left/right mouse buttons, together with a biometric fingerprint reader and a front-mounted webcam.

No prices nor availability details have been revealed as of yet.
