Hands-on with the Digifriends WiBro MID

We got a chance to play with the bizarre Digifriends MID at the Intel booth, and it actually seems kind of cool. The basic concept with the Vista-running, Menlow-sporting, lime green device is that you can snap on all kinds of add-ons to it, like a gamepad, keyboard, stand, speakers, and a hard drive. The overall feel wasn't wildly different from the other MIDs we saw, but the possibilities of expanding it easily are enticing. Check the gallery for all the views.

Looks like Joshua needs to learn how to better use his camera and properly set the white balance. These pictures are junk.

He's capturing the ambiance you savage!

Ok, this too fails .. as usual the complaint about why the damn thing has a thick margin on the sides of the LCD (instead of being longer (refer to iPhone) if they needed the space for circuit crap) applies.

have you seen the size of the iphone compared to this? I guess it'll be much heavier too; you need a area that can be used for gripping.
