Yeah, Apple has totally pushed the icon industry to new heights...

"*Yawn*

You've never used it, yet you say the iphone will surpass it?

Also you've just admitted that it's better than one.]]>Jul 23rd 2008 4:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/23/aigos-atom-based-mid-gets-a-price-release-date/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/23/aigos-atom-based-mid-gets-a-price-release-date/

You can get a proper UMPC for the same price, so, eh.

Always interesting to see where things are headed though :)]]>Jul 23rd 2008 3:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/23/aigos-atom-based-mid-gets-a-price-release-date/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/23/aigos-atom-based-mid-gets-a-price-release-date/]]>Jul 23rd 2008 7:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/23/aigos-atom-based-mid-gets-a-price-release-date/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/23/aigos-atom-based-mid-gets-a-price-release-date/Jul 24th 2008 6:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/23/aigos-atom-based-mid-gets-a-price-release-date/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/23/aigos-atom-based-mid-gets-a-price-release-date/Jul 23rd 2008 3:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/23/aigos-atom-based-mid-gets-a-price-release-date/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/23/aigos-atom-based-mid-gets-a-price-release-date/Aug 3rd 2008 4:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/23/aigos-atom-based-mid-gets-a-price-release-date/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/23/aigos-atom-based-mid-gets-a-price-release-date/
Being able to access 3G would truly make it ultra portable.

The device should also have some type of mount for cars since it is GPS ready. This will also work well with GSM support so the maps could just be downloaded like Live Search Mobile and Google Maps Mobile.

Also, there is no copy right for the icons. I can find several GUI's for higher powered windows mobile devices that'll give you the complete iphone experience (no visual voicemail but add in MMS support). On top of that, lots of open source developer software that isn't available for iphone.]]>Jul 23rd 2008 3:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/23/aigos-atom-based-mid-gets-a-price-release-date/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/23/aigos-atom-based-mid-gets-a-price-release-date/http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products/Notebook/Products_Spec.aspx?ProductID=2833

I can find mutiple sources that say this device has a sim card slot, it just works for DATA only, but it does the trick.

If it still has it, it's not a bad device. It'll be cheaper than many of the higher end navigation systems and it can use Live Search and Google Maps which are pretty damn good for being free.]]>Jul 23rd 2008 4:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/23/aigos-atom-based-mid-gets-a-price-release-date/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/23/aigos-atom-based-mid-gets-a-price-release-date/Jul 23rd 2008 3:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/23/aigos-atom-based-mid-gets-a-price-release-date/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/23/aigos-atom-based-mid-gets-a-price-release-date/

Asianux is a User Interface for Asian midi's.

Here's a quote from their site:
"The Asianux Consortium expects to release its Asianux Mobile Midinux Edition in January 2008. This edition will build on the strengths of Red Flag’s Midinux efforts and will extend the reach to with Haansoft and with Miracle Linux. The Asianux Consortium expects that this edition will become the platform for a growing number of applications. The customer support model, which is set up by Asianux, will provide reliable customization and after sale service for clients in each country. The Asianux Consortium is cooperating with several international leading PC/consumer electronic products vendors in Asianux Mobile Midinux Edition. The Asianux Consortium covers 4 countries and 25 percent of the world’s population."

It runs on a Linux distro and since it is in the market in Asia they called it Asianux. Here's there official on site news on the matter: http://www.asianux.com/bbsRead.do?bbsId=B0000100

When I saw this running on the MSi Wind I thought, "Wow Linux can do this! It's just like the iphone but running on an ultra-portable." Alas, it is only for the Asian market. But if it's possible, I would like to have this on my future UMPC than something like what the Eee have.]]>Jul 24th 2008 2:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/23/aigos-atom-based-mid-gets-a-price-release-date/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/23/aigos-atom-based-mid-gets-a-price-release-date/
It runs Ubuntu Mobile OS with Intel's Moblin interface. See video here of the Gigabyte M528 (same friggin' thing, different name): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=76NviXg_1g4

SWEET SETUP, IMO.]]>Jul 24th 2008 1:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/23/aigos-atom-based-mid-gets-a-price-release-date/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/23/aigos-atom-based-mid-gets-a-price-release-date/
No one told me but you can see where I first saw it here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0hTRyDavS8A&feature=related

I've just seen your link to the Ubuntu Mobile OS and the Aigo seem more akin to the Asianux than the Ubuntu, I think. Not a lot of difference except for the black bar that accents the apple-esque keys.

If I'm wrong, it's good to know that there is another UI out there like the Asianux mobile.]]>Jul 24th 2008 3:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/23/aigos-atom-based-mid-gets-a-price-release-date/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/23/aigos-atom-based-mid-gets-a-price-release-date/
