Cuso is attempting to drop a wannabe “UMPC” known as the S600. It supports MP3, WMA, ASF, WAV, OGG, AAC, APE, AVI, WMV, DIVX, H.264, ASF, and 3GP files and various Windows CE-powered document formats (TXT, DOC, XLS, PDF, PPT, PPS), comes with a 266MHz ARM CPU, 1GB or 4GB of flash memory, 802.11b Wi-Fi, and miniSD support.
