Intel briefly demonstrates clamshell MID on video
Whoa boy, what have we here? A dramatically short video over at jkkmobile shows off a mysterious new Intel MID, which we presume was captured in Shanghai at the Intel Developer Forum. Unfortunately, there's absolutely zero information on this piece outside of what you see in video posted after the jump, but the sleek clamshell design already has our attention. Judging by the Day Zero news bullets over on Intel's site, we know the firm's aiming to unveil "smaller form factors with improved power efficiency," and judging by the looks of this one, it certainly fits the bill. We'll keep you posted if more details emerge.

Intel plays on Gameboy Advance SP?

Looks interesting but how much will it cost us? Will it use Window Mobile 6? Gosh... I WANT TO KNOW MORE!

Looks like the typical non-working plastic Dummy. But Intel wants us to freak out - cause only Intel can produce Dummys and promise everything.

Well if the processor cost $6, I wouldn't pay more than $60 for it.

Looks similar to a Sharp Zaurus (the newer, non-us clamshell ones)
That type of pda/mid form factor has been around for years, Sony had one too about 3-4 years ago I believe.
